Preservation in Woodstock Antiques and Art

Preservation, a new antiques and art shop is opening on Woodstock Hill this weekend.  It will be open Wed - Sundays, 11-5 each day.  Be sure to stop in and see the new selection of local art and the antique furniture.  Valerie and Phil have been working very hard at updating the old ice house and carriage shed, and putting in large gardens around the building. They have made plans to hold several community functions at their place in the near future.  Stop in and say Hello.

Home and Landscape Portraits

Interested in having your home or favorite local landscape put on canvas? I will take pictures, sketch it out and paint it in oils on a 9 x12 canvas. Allow 3-5 weeks to dry and be varnished. Other sizes are also available. $250

McFarlin Fine Art Gallery Opening

Peter and I will be opening our home gallery for the season.  It is open "by appointment only" at all times, but we have set aside the next two weekends for the public.  Ads are out in both the Villager and the Shopper's Guide, and we have had new signs made to be placed on both ends of County Road.  We hope you are in the area and can stop in to see our work and view the gallery.

I spent the day yesterday with my daughter Megan and her husband, Jeff, and their week old son Paxton.  A beautiful spring day it was.  After doing yard work Megan helped me get some more photos up on the blog.  I have just completed another 4 paintings and will get them up soon.  Many of the paintings in the Putnam Gallery have been rearranged, along with the paintings that are up in the Vanilla Bean.  We will be opening the home Gallery this weekend.
