The North Shore Art Association, I believe for the first time, sponsored a show in late October combining its full artist members and associates like myself in one show.  It was a short four day show but a great opportunity to meet some of the legends of Art at the NSAA.  Last Friday night I attended the social get together and pot luck dinner and saw some impressive art, a variety of styles and met some wonderful fellow artists.  The show featured small pieces, I think 12x16 or less, and prices had to be under $1000.   My entry was "Tide's Out" which I had finished recently and had written about.  I was flattered to recieve some very nice comments about the work from several artists and from people working at the NSAA.  Late in the evening I learned that the painting had been purchased by a well know artist, Judythe Evans Meagher.  This was very humbling as she is well known and has her own gallery on Rocky Neck  (37 Rocky Neck Ave.) and I am familiar with her work.  Judythe was kind enough to take one last photo of the artist standing by his work - included here- for which I was very grateful.  I also found  we both admire some of the same artists like Colin Page and Connie Hayes in  Coastal Maine.
