Other news on the exhibit is that Kristin Allmyer has joined us to head the Youth Program of the exhibit. Along with teaching youth classes in the summer, Kristin will be working with the Middletown Library to have the kids create their own version of "Reflection On a Pond". The children's creation will be displayed at the library and possibly on Kevin Macpherson's website that he is now creating to highlight the Reflection On A Pond exhibit.
This will be a great event for the kids and fun for everyone. So when you head to Middletown to check out Kevin's work next May (2009), don't forget to stop by the Library just a few blocks away and see the world through our children's eyes.

The Middletown Symphony Orchestra will also being playing that opening weekend of the event and the program was announced. Work continues on this part of the program with a few more details to be worked out--but overall the weekend is shaping up to be a great time in Middletown.

I've been asked to participate in Career Day at Verity School. I'm looking forward to talking with the future artists on this day. I'm very honored to be involved and that they extended the invitation.

I will be having a gallery exhibit at the Middletown Arts Center with an opening reception on June 5th. The gallery hangs at MAC until July when it will be switched to the Atrium Medical Center. I hope you get an opportunity to check out the artwork--there will be seven or eight never before displayed peices that worked on especially for this exhibit. The website will be updated with images of these new paintings after June 5th. So if you want to see them the day they premierre, you need to stop down at MAC. I hope to see you there!

I'm trying to paint everyday and will be out and about painting plein air before heading to Taos in June to paint with Kevin Macpherson (in his workshop--one of only a few he is offering this year). If you see me out painting, be sure to stop by and say hello!

I'll also be teaching a class on Thursdays, starting May 22nd, at the Middletown Arts Center from 10:00 to Noon. The first term is $40 and the second term is $60.
More information is available by calling (513) 424-2417 and you can register at that number as well. We'll make painting fun--so give it a try!

That's all for now---I hope to be blogging more often and keep an eye out for an announcement at the end of June. More things in the works that I'm not willing to announce just yet--but it very exciting news.

Keep on painting, rocking and having fun!!
Peace,
Linda
