Today we opened early to accommodate the people who also came out for the annual yard sale held by Buckhorn Community Care in the front parking lot of St. Matthews Church.


















Although it remained cool throughout the day it started off warmer 54F (12C) than yesterday in the morning but the temperature did not rise as much remaining a constant 56F (13C) throughout the afternoon with a steady rainfall until closing time.

The one nice thing about the rain and cooler temperatures was that the attendance was up considerably and we had a steady stream of people coming through the show all day.

Nine paintings were sold by Diane Collins, Heather Grant, Penny Little and Susan Sydney. Pottery was sold by JoAnne Connell Northey and small items were purchased from Diane Collins, JoAnne Connell Northey, Pat Harvey, Barbara McGregor and Bonny Windover.

Setting up the 24th Annual Shades of Summer Art Show

Last night as usual we set up the panels and tables for the Shades of Summer Art Show and Sale.

Some of the artists set their art onto the panels last night so that they would not have to return the day before the show while others preferred to come back today to set up their art without having to rush to finish setting up everything.

It didn't take long for those of us who returned today to move all the boxes and bags holding their artwork into the Church and start unpacking the larger pieces. Once they were set in place on the panels it was easy to hang the rest of the paintings around them.

Once the main panels were finally filled it was time to put a couple of paintings up on the front panels where our theme for this show was "Cottage Country".

















By then it was time to take a break and most of the artists went next door to the Cody Inn to have lunch and relax for a little while before either returning to finish hanging their work or heading home to enjoy the rest of their day.

There is space for each artist to hang a few smaller paintings on the short grids set up on the front table and display their brochures and business cards in front of them.

Each artist also has a section of space on the tables, which run along the outside edge of the church hall for cards, brochures, containers with matted and shrink wrapped paintings, small paintings set on easels or binders with unframed original art.

Lastly everyone leaves a list of their artwork at the front desk.

We look forward to seeing some of you at our show during the next nine days.

The hours for our show are:
09 Aug 14 - 10:00am - 5:00pm
10 Aug 14 - 12:30pm - 4:00pm
11 Aug 14 - 10:00am - 5:00pm
