Whittemore Library

First and foremost I apologize for it's been long time since my last post.

I invite my clients, friends and newcomers to view my work  that will be showing through the month of August at the Whittmore Library during regular library hours. The library is located in Naugatuck Connecticut.

 Here's a link to the library  http://www.whittemorelibrary.org/

The paintings consist primarily of my local landscapes along with some paintings of the Narragansett RI shoreline, still life,  and studio paintings depicting wildlife.

I would like to thank the staff at the Whittemore for inviting me to exhibit and with the hanging of the artwork. Hope to see you there.

Quote for today

“It is only too true that a lot of artists are mentally ill- it's a life which, to put it mildly, makes one an outsider. I'm all right when I completely immerse myself in work, but I'll always remain half crazy.”
_Vincent Van Gogh

“No artist is ahead of his time. He 'is' his time; it is just that others are behind the times.”

Quote for today
