A quiet Saturday evening . . .

A few weeks ago I was rehearsing an offertory presentation . . . it was a quiet evening, and this was recorded. The beautiful sanctuary of Faith Lutheran Church . . . complete with its Communion class banners. Enjoy! Helen (music arrangement by Paul Tate)

Blue Hill Welcome

The Newburyport Art Association will be hosting its first 'patrons art show' beginning this weekend. I'm pleased and honored to be invited to participated. This is the newly completed work I'll be entering. This year's vacation was in Blue Hill, Maine. The peonies were in bloom, and our innkeepers chose these for us as our welcome to the area. 20"x24"; silver frame.
