All three judges went right to Mary’s painting in the Paint and Sip category (normally, the artists paint and sip wine, the Mansion served juice. It had a number of different elements and was so well composed, it evoked the feeling of a beach. I know Mary well, Red and I often visit her, she is very quiet and soft-spoken. She is eager to do more art work, and I hope she does. You can write Mary c/o The Mansion, 11 S. Union Street, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.

Maria and I both loved doing this, we are eager to try it again. Maria is thinking of  teaching some art at the Mansion, I hope she does.
