I have the good fortune in being active in many local art shows and venues that bring the local community and friends together. I participated in the winter holiday show at the Ventnor cultural arts center. While setting up I can feel the peace and sunlight in the air outside while the gentle sound of the surf broke in the distance. I have panted many seascapes here of the ocean in its many moods.

The art show setting of the library by the ocean quickly came to life, with many artists, setting up their work in a festive holiday setting at the library. My friends Bonnie and Jose began with a angelic and inspiring holiday set of music. The band, "Even Betta" surprised many with their harmony-filled musical experience. The day just kept getting better with vocalist Susan ( former Miss NJ ) featuring a selection of joyous spirit-filled young singers, preceding their scheduled event, the AC Christmas parade.

Fellowship goes hand in hand in any community event such as this. The collective efforts, of all involved, are greatly appreciated and just left me with a sense of fulfillment about sharing my day at this event, with thanks and gratitude to my fellow artists, customers and all who have attended this show! walk by the sea Catherine and Bunko by the Seaavailable mixed media 34"x28" $900. sea of tranquility2 experience
