A Poem & A Painting: A Summer With 1000 Julys
Jun 23 2014 ·1While I was in Guatemala last week (more on that soon, another incredible experience!), my assistant Jen took her daughter and a friend to visit a few colleges in the Carolinas. One of their stops was in Charleston, SC to visit the College of Charleston. While in Charleston, they also had a chance to visit Galerie on Broad, one of the newest galleries in Charleston’s vibrant arts district. I was hoping they would have a chance to stop by as this is a new gallery where my friend, artist Sandy Welch, has recently started showing her work. I am so thrilled for Sandy and I hear her paintings are getting a wonderful reception from visitors to the gallery!
South Shore Art Center Festival of the Arts, Cohasset

The Bliss of Summer Arts Festivals
Jun 19 2012 ·0“When we artists put a painting on a wall at an exhibition, we bare our souls…at that time everyone becomes a critic.”
~Sidney Hermel
This weekend the South Shore Art Center sponsored the 57th Annual Arts Festival on the Cohasset Common and once again it was outstanding!
The festival is truly a celebration of the arts with nearly 100 juried exhibitor booths, a variety of live music performances, delicious food, artist demonstrations, children’s art activities and a young artists’ exhibition. For me, the highlight of the festival is always the juried art exhibition and members’ show. This year was no exception.
The Art Exhibit is staged under large, peaked tents which not only allows ample viewing space for each piece, but also make a beautiful statement on the Common with their iconic silhouettes.
On Friday, the festival officially opened with the distribution of ribbons for the the “Best of the Best” artworks. My dear friend and fellow GJP‘er, Page Railsback won a bright Pink ribbon in honor of Roz Farbush for her painting and she was thrilled (as was I).
My friend and another Girls Just Wanna Paint member, Sally Dean was not only the cover artist for the festival program and posters, but also won a ribbon for her beautiful and imaginative painting~
The art on display included many mediums, the broad array is one of the things that makes the outdoor festivals so appealing. Don’t you love this sculpture? 
I think this would look divine in a foyer.
This mixed media piece is nothing short of amazing. As you view it from a distance, it appears to be a swirling mermaid or goddess.
But then as you look closer…
Such attention to detail and composition, isn’t that incredible?
Jeanne MacFarland is a very well respected artist (and another GJP‘er) and her paintings have an “old world” quality to them. This boat at water’s edge is serene…
Watercolors are always very popular and this is a masterful example:
You may recognize this last painting, though it is a bit more fancy than the last time I showed it…
Dressed up in a new frame, it is one of my “petite interiors”. I was so proud to have it in the member’s show!
Art shows and festivals are truly for people of all ages…. I hope you get a chance to enjoy an Arts Festival this summer, always a delightful way to spend the day!
