Exciting, indeed...I, for one, will surely attend and will visit their website for more info. My paintings don't quite fit into the "naturalist, plein aire" genre, but maybe I misunderstand?

[Sharon W]

I don't know enough about art or the paint out to know if your work fits in - posted it just in case anyone is interested.

And glad I am that you posted this. Otherwise I'd still be walking around clueless. Thanks, Sharon!

This was a great collection of mostly outdoor paintings, loosely based on on one great theme "Our Crescenta Valley" and diverse it is! The space is perfect and put to good use...the art looked great. Suzy and I loved the use of old doors (free standing) as display walls in the middle of the room, brilliant!
And the lovely people welcoming us, all knew Sharon, telling how great you are with the e-blasts. Needless to say I'm a big fan, too! Thanks Sharon, this was a treat.

Thanks for the kind words! Hope to see folks at Empty Bowls on Saturday.
