The weather was wonderful this week at Put-n-Bay. Artists were invited to come up and paint for the week. We were wined and dined by the Blue Cottage Gallery of Put -n -Bay. I had the opportunity to paint a carriage house and it was sold to the owner of Ashley’s Bed and Breakfast. One of my smaller paintings were auctioned off at the party at the Gallery. I met a lot of wonderful people and would suggest to anyone going up to Put-n-Bay for the weekend to stay at Ashley’s Bed and Breakfast for a comfortable time and visit the Blue Cottage Gallery for some creative works of art.

Abstract classes: Sept. 16, 23, 30, Thurs. 10-noon, fee $70 at Blossom Hill , contact Brecksville Center for the Arts 440.526.6232. There has been a change in the dates. There will still be 4 classes, but the last class has not been scheduled yet. In this class we will only paint 3 canvases. It would be nice if you had unusual sizes of canvas and a bit larger, over 16 x 20. We will take 2 classes to finish 1 canvas.
A little bit about abstracts: There is no right way or wrong way to create an abstract. It’s all subjective. Your art will be meaningful and expressive as anyone else’s regardless of technical skill or experience.
We will approach an abstract in different ways to help you loosen-up and express yourself.
