Paintings by Ray Smith, my photos arriving at Gardenworks. Izzy, my soulmate, watching over.
August 31, 2009 – Tomorrow, we begin setting up for the “Art and Soul” show at Gardenworks, Salem, N.Y., (518 854-3250). First to arrive are Ray Smith’s wonderful oil paintings of farm and Vermont landscapes and other scenes. My photos, fresh from the County Fair, are behind. Also exhibiting at the show are Corinna Aldrich, and her photographs, Maria Heinric, showing her quilts, Mary Kellogg reading from her new volume of poetry, Christopher Smith showing his art. I will be reading from and talking about “Soul Of A Dog,” and signing books, and Gardenworks will be offering its classy offerings: gourmet cheese, cider donuts, pies, muffins, produce. You can also pick your own blueberries and raspberries from the fields around Gardenworks, so come early if you wish to do that.
I love reading from Gardenworks room big barn space upstairs. It is an evocative space, and I have been speaking there ever since I came to the farm.
The art will be all around us.
Saturday, 2 p.m., Gardenworks, 1056 Route 30/West Hebron Road, Salem, N.Y., 12865.
