Macpherson's Reflections On A Pond Exhibit and a quick update!

Hello everyone!
It's been a while since I blogged, but if you were anywhere near Middletown or if you were lucky enough to have tickets to the Macpherson Reflections On A Pond Exhibit Opening Weekend, you'll know why I've been absent from writing lately.

First, thank you to all the sponsors and those that attended the opening weekend events. The exhibit was a great success, with a nice profit made by the Middletown Arts Center (final numbers are due soon--but it looks like this was one of the most successful events ever!) and Kevin and Wanda had all their expectations exceeded. Thanks for making them feel welcomed and they enjoyed meeting everyone and spending the weekend in the glow of artistry.

The exhibit is coming to a close and I'll be spending June 15th-17th packing up the exhibit for its trip home. We have some possible venues that we are investigating for future exhibitions, so keep in touch for more on this in the future.

Reflections on a Pond has a Facebook page and if you are on Facebook, please become a fan of the page so that you can keep up to date on the exhibit and all that is happening with that. The link is here. Before the exhibit we had about 20 fans and since then the number of fans have doubled. The latest news is that we are working with Wayne Johnson (musician with Manhatten Transfer and Bette Midler) who has composed special music that was played at the Opening weekend. We have some finish work to do on this but look for an announcement and a chance to hear the music soon.

As for me, well, I've be painting and the painting on the home page of the website is the latest painting. My mentor, Kevin Macpherson, has been busy instructing me and raising the bar. It been a most enlightening time and that includes a bit of a style change for the better of course. Next up is travel to Taos on June 22nd where I'll be participating in Kevin's workshop. Then back home to continue painting and to put into practice all that I'm learning. The website will be updated when the time is write, but if you want to see works in progress and quick pictures of what I'm working on, then you'll need to become a friend in Facebook. The link to my Facebook page is here. I also have a Linda Fisler Fine Art fan page. That link is here.

We hope you enjoy the paintings that will be on the way. Kevin is such a wonderful mentor and friend. I am truly seeing a difference and feel that I'm now better prepared to start competing and also to embark on my journey to become a Master Impressionist painter. It will be a long road, but one I'm preparing for and will be working hard to accomplish. I've recently joined the American Impressionist Society as an associate member and hope to become more involved in this organization in the future. Your comments and continued support would be greatly appreciated as I travel the ups and downs of the new path before me. I'm looking forward to this exciting journey!

Off to a wine tasting now--have a great weekend everyone!!!
Linda
