A Nice Compliment

As I posted in the previous blog, I have a piece I designed called "Dante" on display at the Skyline Farm Art Sale and Show. It will be on display there for one month. It is there for display only as I've donated a Gift Certificate to help raise money to keep the farm as a free space and open to our community.

"Yesterday I received an email from the President of Skyline Farm letting me know that one of the artists liked my work...this is her email!

Yesterday one of our best artists, Beth Carlson, came to view the exhibit,
because she couldn't make it to the opening. She stopped at your stained
glass piece and looked at the photo and said what a wonderful job you had
done! I thought it would mean a lot coming from another artist.

Actually I think your high bid so far is from an artist :-)"

Congratulations (and thank you),
Pam

Needless to say I was thrilled, as Ms. Carlson is a well known artist in horse and dog circles, has had her paintings published as cover art for national horse and dog magazines and several of her paintings are now owned by the American Kennel Club Museum and The National Bird Dog Museum. If you'd like to learn more about Beth please click on the link in the previous post for Skyline Farm.

I was definitely doing the happy dance after reading this email!

Fine Art Show and Sale to Benefit Skyline Farm


I was invited to donate an item to the silent auction for Skyline Farm. Which is a non profit group who have purchased in the effort to save a beautiful North Yarmouth farm from being purchased and subdivided into house lots. Many local children learned to ride when Skyline was a riding stable...myself included...and have very fond memories of the horses that taught us!
This show contains an exceptional display of a variety of oils, pastels, metal work, among other items included in it. I donated a $100.00 gift certificate for a commissioned piece of stained glass...I'm also hoping that this will give me some name recognition in the process. It is my hope that Skyline's silent auction will help them raise much needed funds to keep this outstanding piece of property available for horseback & carriage riding, dog activities and just the enjoyment of the trail system that Skyline provides.

Some Repairs!

I have been fortunate to work on some very interesting repairs and beautifying some old pieces that have been totally transformed after repairs. I only wish that I'd taken more pics of the pieces that I've repaired, and more before and after's.

You'd be surprised what can be repaired. Just contact me if you have a repair need.

Patterns from Pisces Glass Works
