Shades of Summer Art Show

It was an interesting day at the art show, with a refreshing breeze blowing and the lack of humidity in the morning due to a much needed downpour of rain around 5:00a.m. this morning.

The skies however, remained overcast and as the morning progressed the wind increased along with the temperature 80F (26.7C) and the humidity 100F (37.8C) and then the rain came again in waves, of extremely heavy down pours and high winds, then eased slightly before another rainstorm came in, including two thunderstorms during the afternoon.

There were tornado warnings, severe rainfall warnings and severe thunderstorm warnings in effect for the area. The power went out twice at the show, but no one complained about being in the dark for a short time and continued to enjoy the art work when the lights came back on.

Eight paintings were sold by Catherine Selinger, Susan Sydney, Bonnie Windover and Penny Little. Diane Collins, JoAnne Connell Northey and Penny Little sold small items.

















The hours for our show are:
13 Aug 16 - 9:00am - 5:00pm
14 Aug 16 - 12:30pm - 4:00pm

Please come out and enjoy our show.

Setting up the 26th Annual Shades of Summer Art Show

Tonight once we set up the grids and got the tables ready we could then bring in our artwork and hang the paintings for the show.

With it being only four days instead of its usual nine days we needed the displays to be ready for the public to view first thing in the morning with an earlier starting time than in previous years.

Also with three of our members deciding not to exhibit at this show there was a lot more space available for paintings for the remaining eleven artists.

While there are many changes with this show, some of them are for the better.















One of which is having the panels run in a solid row down the centre of the church hall instead of it having a narrow open space in the grids, dividing them into two sections halfway down the row.

This always seemed to cause a bottle neck when large numbers of the public came in to view the exhibit.

It will be interesting to see how the hot and humid temperatures will affect the attendance at the show, as over the years attendance is usually lower.

Especially with today being 95F (35C) and the humidity making it feel like 105F (40.6C) and the next couple of days are to be even more hot and humid.

But since you cannot change the weather tomorrow is another day and we will take it as it comes.

















The hours for our show are:
11 Aug 16 - 9:00am - 5:00pm
12 Aug 16 - 9:00am - 5:00pm
13 Aug 16 - 9:00am - 5:00pm
14 Aug 16 - 12:30pm - 4:00pm

Hopefully some of you will make it out to see the show.
