April Newsletter

Updated: Apr 10, 2023




It's Spring, you can see the flowers beginning to bloom, the grass beginning to grow and the birth of wonderful new life posing, just daring you to paint!!!


Here's a wonderful painting by

Norman Rockwell.






 

New Exhibit

In the Looking Glass

April 1 through April 29 will be an exhibit consisting of nothing but glass: stained glass, glass beads, glass and ceramics, painted glass and paintings of glass.

The gallery will be sparkling all month.

We will join the downtown merchants during our April 14th Second Friday Artist Reception. The RWTC will provide entertainment with a Broadway Musical Night.

See you at the gallery!

A "Pause for Words"

Pantry Shelves

There's the things I keep out of reach:

Glass. Hot Sauce. Oreos.

There's the things directly within reach

but invisible, on that unfindable shelf

in front of their faces.

Everywhere there’s allergens listed; carbs accounted for—

a collection of things

he maybe half-mentioned that he liked.

Anything to feed this kid

with no needles attached.

These are the things still out of my reach.
