Visitors & Exhibit

Down the hall from Jerry's room is a small library. I think it is used more for little gatherings with family than as a place to read. There are about 5 tables. This group was gathered for quite a while, so I was able to sketch all of them except one young man who was sitting in the empty chair. He went off to get lunch for the group.

Today was the reception for the South Bay Art Association's "Women in the Arts" exhibit in Patchogue at The Cheese Patch. We timed it perfectly by having the reception on International Women's Day. Here are a few photos from the reception.

    1. It is nice that we have a place to exhibit...and we have been lucky and at each show so far at least one painting has sold. Yesterday 3 sold, but not mine. :(

    1. Thanks, Debbie. It is good to get out once in a while to do something with my art groups. It helps that my sister-in-law stays with Jerry then too. Have a good week.

  4. Well done Joan! It is so nice to see government officials supporting the arts and, of course, women. Nice photos and a charming sketch at the rehab centre.
