OPENING RECEPTION 'Hallowed Ground - En Plein Air' Exhibit at the Delaplaine Center

Two years ago, I was approached by artists Peter Plant and Deb Richardson
and asked if I would join them in an exhibit that would display our
plein air paintings of Civil War Battlefields.

Yesterday, we had the Opening Reception for our work, and it was
quite exciting to see thefruits of our labor so beautifully displayed
on the walls of the Kline Gallery in the

Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center in Frederick, Maryland.  

My thanks to Diane Sibbison, the exhibit coordinator, and to
Deb Richardson and Noralie Katsu for doing such a fantastic
job hanging the show. I also want to thank my family, friends,
fellow artists and my students who came to the exhibit - and also to
those who could not come, but sent such kind and supportive emails.

Thanks also to my daughter for taking pictures!

Here are some pictures from the exhibit:

The Delaplaine Center is a phenomenal building dedicated

to the arts, and it was an honor to exhibit there.  Here are some of the

people who were attending the reception.

I was thrilled to meet  Marion MacKerer, a fellow artist who

has followed my blog for the past two years, and came to see

my paintings in person. Great meeting you, Marion!
