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,

Good Morning!

I have been thinking about Montauk lately. We go there every spring and I'm looking forward to the trip. I fully understand why so many artists made that area their home. Duchamp, Pollock and Krasner, Avedon and many others spent a lot of time in the area. The quality of light is amazing. I spend a lot of my time behind the camera, bringing home amazing photos to paint from. My paintings of Montauk are some of my favorites. This little study is yet another of my favorite area.

I'm sharing my studio with a young painter who has come to paint a portrait. Although I've been offering a bit of guidance, I'm not "teaching". The young woman is a painter in her own right and is doing a wonderful job. Hopefully, when her painting is finished, she will allow me to share it with my readers.

Until tomorrow,

Glynis
