The Artwalk is Coming! September 6, 2019


The Artwalk will be held in Leonardtown on Friday Sep 6th, 5-8 pm.  Calm Reflections Photography will be offering photography and photography crafts in town.  Don Stapleson from the Chesapeake Orchestra will be at the art walk with Clazzical Jazz, probably playing flute or sax.

I also have a photo in the Art competition, my lovely sunset photo of a Michigan Beach.  Someone recently bought a copy of it at the almost ended exhibit "Ebb and Flow" at Annmarie Gardens.  It is one of my favorites.  It is still on display at Annmarie until September 1st.  

I will know soon where it will be located in Leonardtown.  The contest is somewhat of a popularity contest, so please vote for it if you like it and if you can.  Voting can help you win a gift.  My framed photo will also be for sale.  Can't you just see this gorgeous photo in your living room?  I just wish it was taken in St. Mary's County.  I hope to see you there!
