The museum has a vault where the paintings can be stored until the show is hung, but they need to be able to identify it as part of our show.

Please plan to attend if you can and invite your friends, family, collectors, etc. to see what promises to be a very nice show. Any promotion of the show that each of you can do is greatly appreciated! I will send out a digital postcard that can easily be sent out by email or put onto social media.
