Volunteering at the Mill

Yesterday, I spent most of the day at the Burwell Morgan Mill, Millwood,VA. My friend Becky and I volunteered to work at the art show since we have paintings in the show. This is a very large exhibit. Artists from all over DC, VA, MD, WVA, show their work. I am always impressed with the way the show is hung. In spite of the huge numbers, every painting is viewable and the show isn't overwhelming.

We spent the day talking to other artists and visitors. I spent a lot of time checking out the show. When we left, we volunteered to deliver a large painting for a buyer nearby who couldn't fit it into his vehicle. The home was lovely and the grounds were worthy of photographing for future paintings. The gentleman was happy to allow us to take our photos and told us a lot about his home and gardens.

It was a really good day but I never picked up a brush.
I highly recommend the show at the mill if you can do it.
Until tomorrow,
Glynis
