Ideas have ancestors

July 24, 2018September 1, 2020 Aprille

You’re invited to Paint the Town in Annapolis Ro You’re invited to Paint the Town in Annapolis Royal! I’m taking part for the first time so a mix of excitement and nerves. I usually paint in my studio on my own so painting in public is a stretch for me. If the weather cooperates I’ll be in the beautiful Historic Gardens so I hope you’ll find me and say hello! 
Next week, some of the Art will be available in an online auction in support of ArtsPlace.
