Dear Friends:

I want you to know about a new show in Bolton Landing which is showing some of my work. The show is at the Bolton Gallery & Art Center and is called “Images of the Lake George Region”. On display will be four of my watercolors depicting sailing on Lake George. The exhibit will run through Labor Day and be open from 11 am to 6 pm every day.

On Friday, Aug. 19 from 5 to 7 there will be an Artists’ Reception that I will be attending, and you are invited to come as well.

I am happy to be in this show with some other area artists.  We have contrasting styles, and you should find it interesting to see the various ways in which we depict Lake George. Please stop by and take a look for yourself. The Gallery is at 4985 Lakeshore Drive (Rt 9N opposite Sagamore Road), and its website is www.boltongallery.com.

Also, my exhibit of 50 watercolors is on display at the Tannery Pond Community Center, 228 Main Street, North Creek through August 24. Hours are Mon – Fri from 9 am to 4 pm. I will be at the Community Center this Thursday, August 18, from 5 to 7 pm as part of the North Creek Art Walk.
