Do you need a reason to enjoy the season?  Take a beautiful fall ride out to Kent, CT.  

The Kent Art Association is hosting The Northeast Watercolor Society 38th Annual International  Exhibition 2014. The show begins October 19th and runs through November 2, 2014.  This prestigious regional and international show is held in the Kent Art Association building on Route 7 in Kent, CT.  The show is always worth the ride to Kent and you will see the work of many popular artists.  The ride to Kent is lovely in the fall and there are great shops and places to eat - make a day of it!  Look for my "Smith College Greenhouse" in the show.

"We recently had the  pleasure of featuring Lori's varied artwork on our  art wall at Bill Selig Jewelers.  During that time her  work received countless admiring comments and  generated much conversation around the diverse subjects  she chose to depict.  One that especially produced  discussion was her handheld fish!  This local art show  was a delight and was well received by all."  -Bill Selig  Jewelers  in Simsbury , CT.

Sculptor Dalton Ghetti will be at the East Granby Public Library this coming week:  Tuesday, August 26.  from 1-3pm and 5-7 pm.  He creates amazing miniature works of art from ordinary pencils.  A self-taught artist, Dalton works as a carpenter and house remodeler.  He sharpens pencils into art as a hobby.
