USCG art exhibits
Oh my! What an exciting letter!
"Dear Coast Guard Artist,
You are receiving this email because some of your outstanding artwork is featured in two exhibitions at major museums. Your painting "Repairing the Light" is at the GulfQuest National Maritime Museum in Mobile, Ala., and your paintings "ATN Ft Macon, NC" and "Rescue Swimmer, Lake Pontchartrain" are at the the Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle, Wash. These exhibitions, showing a total of nearly 75 works, have been on view for several months and will continue. For both exhibitions, Coast Guard District Public Affairs Officers arranged demonstrations of selected Coast Guard missions and for several Coast Guard speakers to address audiences and be on hand to answer questions. In the case of the exhibition at Mobile, this included presentations by Sector Mobile, the Aviation Training Center, Station Dauphin Island, Recruiting in Mobile and the District 8 Public Affairs Office. In addition to a demonstration, the Seattle exhibition featured CAPT Olav Saboe, former chief of staff for District 13, who addressed visitors with a talk and slide presentation and was available for questions. These presentations and demonstrations were highly successful, very well attended and covered by local media."

In other news, yesterday I had a lovely day painting en plein air with the Philadelphia Watercolor Society at Grace Winery in Glenn Mills, Pennsylvania.
Last week I was in San Pedro, California, for the National Watercolor Society Annual Business Meeting and the opening of the 103rd International Exhibition at our NWS gallery.
