Standing next to my painting “Cow With Attitude” at the Farm to Frame artists reception<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Where:<\/strong> Somerset County Administration Bldg, 20 Grove St, Somerville, NJ
When:<\/strong> March 9 – May 1, 2023
Artists Reception<\/strong>: March 24, 6-8pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative was organized by the Cultural and Heritage Commission of Somerset County. Over 30 artists were recruited and assigned to preserved farms in Somerset county where they had to be inspired to produce two works. I was assigned 2 Rivers Farm in Branchburg. The owners of this working farm were very friendly and invited me to paint plein air in the future. The farm was very large and beautiful. I produced two paintings: “Cow with Attitude<\/a>” and “Another Day at the Farm<\/a>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update 3\/28\/23<\/strong>: Unfortunately, the artists reception was very crowded with people that didn’t seem too interested in the artwork. Unknown to me, this reception had been combined with a celebration of Agricultural Day and the art became secondary. Additionally, I was a little disappointed by the quality of the artwork as a whole with the exception of a handful of artists who seemed to be professionals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
