Reception: 3-5 p.m.
This gallery is beginning to radiate with color and imagery. It was a long winter and even longer spring. As you might know, that created the perfect weather conditions for artists John and Lynne Seitzer to paint. The studio is overflowing with a mix of playful images, clouds and islands….people from here and there….crashing surf, big birds, little birds…..fields, flowers and big skies. Come see for yourself and enjoy a bit of chocolate and something to sip we're just across the Footbridge on the East side.
