Tree Shopping and PALS Show Photos

I've been on a search for places selling Christmas trees to so some sketching.
I found this one along Route 25 in Ridge.


This weekend was our 5th Annual PALS Plein Air Show and Sale at the BAFFA Gallery of the Gillette House in Sayville. From April to the beginning of December we painted at 26 different locations on Long Island. The camaraderie between the artists is special and we all look forward to painting together, but seeing all the finished paintings together is just amazing. Here are some photos from the show.

The top left and bottom right paintings are mine.



The top painting of the field is mine.


The red dahlia painting on the bottom is mine too.


Here I am with one of my paintings.

And here are most of the artists.

We sold several paintings off the wall, many matted paintings, cards, books, etc. 
It was a really successful show!
My thanks to Jeanne Salucci who has organized this group, selects our locations, and works so hard to make this show happen!!!

    Dear Joan - sounds like a wonderful show and your paintings look so lovely hanging. I especially liked the dahlia. The sketch of the tree shoppers was wonderful too. It is always so impressive how you manage to make those cars look good! Take care and have a great day.
