Why Quick Draw by Deena Kilmon
~~A few years ago, Plein Air came to Talbot County. It seems very daunting to be surrounded by some of the best plein air artists in the country. For several years, I was terrified to pick up a brush, but after passing forty years old...I said 'what the heck' and decided to try just about everything. The first year, I took my children to participate in the children's quick draw. However, I did not officially participate. Faced with the prospect of silently observing for three hours, I decided it was best to pick up my brush as well.
An Insight into the Work of Garin Baker by Tim Boyle
As it meanders southward on its journey toward Manhattan and Long Island Sound, the Hudson River passes through some of the most beautifully scenic country in the United States. Lush rolling hills and rocky cliffs line the river and provided welcome inspiration for the earliest Europeans to settle here. Nestled among these hills, along the banks of the Hudson sits the small city of Newburgh, once home to 8,000 troops of the Continental Army as it stood guard over this strategic river during the American Revolution, preventing its use by the British army headquartered in New York City.
