The jury accepted three of my paintings into the Spring Painting and Sculpture Exhibit by Lyme Art Association.

Opening Reception (3-6-2009) – Spring Painting and Sculpture Exhibit

The opening reception was held on March 6, 2009, between 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. This time, my wife, Jennifer, my two children, Joshua and Danielle, and my mother, Lynn Ambrosini, attended the reception with me. Thus it was a family night out.

Later, I took some pictures from the reception, and as expected, there was quite a crowd at a Lyme Art Gallery event. In addition to talking with several other artists participating in the exhibition, I introduced myself to Diane Aeschliman. Diane is one of the elected Lyme Gallery artists. Jennifer and I liked one of the landscape paintings by Diane that was in the exhibit.

Concluding Thoughts

The Spring Painting and Sculpture Exhibit by Lyme Art Association was another excellent exhibition. Also, I am thankful my family enjoys attending these art exhibitions with me; they become excellent family outings.
