Today was opening day for the
Malvern Retreat House Art Show in Malvern, PA. Over 80 artist from around the country were invited to display work at the show which runs through this Sunday.
A bit of background: this is an annual show that lasts only a week or less (previously it was held at Immaculata University, but scheduling conflicts with the school caused the organizers to move it to this new location). Buyers come in, take stuff off the wall as they buy it, and then more stuff is replaced on the empty space until they run out of new art. This year it is taking place at a catholic retreat house and the artwork is hung up in the different rooms in the house as well as in the hallways. Artists bring four larger works and up to ten "minis" (must be under 8x10 inches framed). I have 14 artworks in this show.

I also ended up buying a small etching by artist Katy Winters called "Fox and Hound". I didn't find a picture of it online, but you can see some examples of her work here.
