 Spring teaser.  Today was a beautiful Spring day and a welcome change from all of the cold (38-45 degree weather). It was the perfect day to take a drive through the rural, small towns of scenic Carroll County. I packed up my paintings and headed over to Grib’s Gallery (208 Main Street, New Windsor, MD) to deliver them for the upcoming exhibit.   Grib’s Gallery is one of those local hidden gems. The gallery is owned by Sharon Gribbin-Lindeman. Sharon, an artist herself, features artwork from local artists. My daughter, Brittany, who loves going to local galleries was very impressed with Grib’s Gallery. The gallery is well lit and the arrangement of paintings is aesthetically pleasing. In addition to paintings there are also other pieces like sculptures and pottery. If you are within driving distance of New Windsor, Maryland, Grib’s Gallery is a definitely worth the trip.  I should also mention that the Reflect and Remember exhibit in October will coincide with ...

 When my daughter was in high school I would send her off to school with a quote. Her literature class was reading Julius Cesar so I sent her off on March 15 with “Beware the Ides of March.”  She laughed as she grabbed her books and headed out the door. Ever since then no matter where she was I would call her and remind her to Beware the Ides of March. We would both start laughing because she couldn’t believe that I kept this going on so long. Last year I had intended to send her a card. Some how creativity got the better of me and the project morphed into a canvas.  Beware the Ides of March!
