A great time was had by all in Wolfeboro at the Member Show Reception on July 30. Thanks go out to Paula and Art who did a fantastic job chairing this event. Keith Demanche organized a paint-around at the closing ceremony which raised $300 for the Wolfeboro Library from the sales of the four paintings completed! Keith Demanche, Terri Brooks, Lisa Regopoulos, and I were the participants. Each artist had 10 minutes to work on their painting. We would then swap places and have 10 minutes to work on each painting until we returned to our own making final touches. What fun! We will have to do this again! Congratulations go out to all the award recipients and special thanks to all who sent in their paintings. It was a beautiful exhibit.

And now, Our National Show is opening up October 22! We're so pleased to be back to an in-person show by returning to the Portsmouth Historical Society! The gallery has a new look--& this exhibit may be our best yet! Looking forward to seeing lots of familiar faces and hope to meet some of our newer members that joined during the past couple of years.

Warm regards,

Maryann Mullett
