Hanging the show at Bernices Bakery

Germaine Trenary

Can't believe it is almost time to take our France paintings show down.  Boy, time goes by quickly these days. It seems the summer just flew by...anyway will post a few pictures of the show at Bernices.  I loved the way the paintings looked against the brick wall.  Thanks again to all who came to our artist reception and I hope some of you had a chance to go look at the paintings during the month.
Today I took my entry for the Hockaday Members Salon Show to Kalispell.  I entered the "Chinese Vase".  They said they had over 100 entries.  Linda and I will go back to see the show on the First Friday.  The gallery in Kalispell (Montana Frameworks) has said they will hang our France paintings that haven't sold.  Thats very good news.
I am working on a commission, a painting of Salmon Lake for Don's nephew Darrell and his wife Anna. Quite an undertaking, but I am please at how its going.  Also, a couple of smaller landscape paintings.  Have to begin to think about winding it up for the year and motor down to Arizona.  Desert scenes anyone?

The First Friday Show was last night.  Thanks to all who came to our Artists Reception, it was wonderful and lots of fun.  Enjoyed visiting with everyone and hearing all the kind comments about my paintings and Lindas.  We saw many friends we haven't seen for awhile, plus alot of family that were there.  The show looks wonderful, I think, and we had delicious treats made by Bernices Bakery...French style of course, creampuffs and brie with crackers and grapes, plus a little wine.  Great fun!!  I am relieved it is over and hope alot of people will see our paintings as they hang for the month of October.  Bernices people were wonderful and very helpful, thx much to all of them!  Now to concentrate on some new paintings!
