Over the summer I painted along side some great artists from all over the southeast end of PA and DE. The group is LandArt Events, a 501(c)3 organization that gives back to the Willistown Conservation Trust. This is the group that hosted the delightful and fruitful Tailgating Art Show. Please visit gallery link https://www.landartevents.com/gallery-2 to see many of the works created. There will be rotating online galleries coming up. This gallery features one of my paintings "Shady Path." 9 x 12 Oil. They are all for sale. Please help support the arts and thank you.

https://www.landartevents.com/farm-to-table-plein-air-event Please go to the landartevents.com link above to see some great paintings done for this cool "Art on the Trails" project. The web site features my painting, "Tomatoes!" Trail markers along the paths where we artists painted show the painting and its view. For purchase online and 15% of the proceeds will go to The Willistown Conservation Trust. Win-win-win for everybody!!

Saturday May 18th is the inaugural #heartoflancasterartsandcraftshow Heart of Lancaster Arts and Craft Show of Lancaster Spring art show at Roots.... I've got a current show at the clubhouse at Willow Valley and am getting ready to show new paintings at the North Museum come January. #pwatlancasterpa Painting with a Twist is steady and it's great to connect with folks there. Thanks for the love. Life is good!
