The Western Ohio Watercolor Society held its opening and award ceremony at Town & Country Fine Art Center Saturday, May 22, 2010.  The show will be at the gallery until June 5.

My piece titled Canyon Call was juried into the show.

There was a feeling of excitement in the air as students from Rosie Huart's Lifelong Learning

class joined her at Synesthesia Gallery's opening reception recently.  It was a cold

evening outside, but with candles, music, art and wine the ambience inside was set and

the mood of warmth permeated throughout the gallery.

It was a festive evening as members of the Western Ohio Watercolor Society were acknowledged during an awards ceremony.  Here Rosie is accepting her 2nd place ribbon and check for her piece titled "A New Thought II" as seen below.

Friday evening  was the opening of Rosie Huart's exhibition titled "Paper, Prayers and Poetry"

at Bears Mill in Greenville, Ohio.  One of the memorable pieces displayed is a poem Rosie wrote for Eileen Lee on Japanese handmade paper and marbled sumi-e ink..   Rosie renamed 40 pieces of art with the name of Eileen to honor her friend. The artist plans to donate the poem piece titled "In Eileen's Time" to the Hospice facility after the exhibition.  The exhibition runs until Saturday, October 24, 2009.  In the poetry corner of Bears Mill is a display of poetry written by the artist.  Rosie invites the viewer to the tactile experience and the soulful reading of poetry.  (6 hours after the opening Eileen changed her earthly address).

Town & Country Fine Art Center in Kettering, Ohio, celebrated its 6th Annual Beach Party with the theme "It's 5 o'clock Somewhere" Friday evening with art, Jimmy Buffet music, food and margaritas.  The splash began at 5 o'clock with artists, supporting patrons, family and friends saying good-bye to the lazy days of summer.  Demonstrations by artists were an exciting part of the evening's get together.  A "Carribean Blue" exhibition displayed member's art in abstract and realistic representations.  The show can be seen until August 31st.  Food was generously donated from fine restaurants as Flemings, Figilo's and Buffalo Wild Wings. The economy is not affecting this art world as sales were jumping and many happy faces were enjoying the festivities.

Art on the Commons, one of Ohio's finest art festivals, was the scene in Kettering, Ohio, featuring artists from across the country exhibiting and selling their art. The 90 degree plus temperature, heat and scorching humidity did not prevent art enthusiasts, friends, family and patrons from venturing out and enjoying the day's events with live music, food and art.  Several purchases were made of fine art paintings consisting of wild life, abstract and mixed media from artists displaying their creativity, with pottery and jewelry being number one sellers.  It was a wonderful day not only celebrating color, texture and shapes every where you could see, but connecting with family, friends and even new acquaintances.
