Snow sculpting




January thaw offers the rare opportunity to create something of interest in your nieghborhood to keep the winter blues away.

This is in progress, because I would still like to color it, (which I do with a spray bottle and food coloring!) but here is my latest project. (I hope you can tell that it's a cat about to pounce)

Show us what you've made!

Call for Artists!


Bring us your art at the begining of February 2010 for the :

WARM & FUZZY Show!
February, March and April in Vermont are traditionally so cold, we were looking for something to warm us up. At first we thought we'd ask you to bring in only art made with WARM tones: like red, yellow and orange. Realizing that many artists work in black and white, and not wanting to show too much color predjudice, we thought, how about an animal show?
Well, in the end, we decided to leave it open to either option, and this show is going to be warm and fuzzy... it can be either, or both .... surprise us...you always do!

********************************************************************
Not only did we finally decide what this next show will be but in a rare attempt to stay ahead, so you can actually paint for the shows, we have already decided that the summer show:
May June and July 2010- will be a PORTRAIT show. So start thinking about who's going to be on your canvas!
