“Everything will be better when the little flowers bloom in the spring.” This is my Mom’s favorite refrain when times are difficult and life looks dark and bleak. Yes, indeed, it’s been a long, cold, snowy winter here in New England as well as in other parts of the country. “Everything will be better when the little flowers bloom in the spring” also is the title of one of the monotypes I printed this winter which I learned yesterday has been accepted into the New Hampshire Art Association’s 28th Annual Omer T. Lassonde Open Juried Exhibition. The juror for this show is Ron Crusan, Executive Director and Curator of Exhibitions and Collections at the Ogunquit Museum of American Art in Ogunquit, Maine. Come one, come all to the Opening Reception this Friday, April 4, 5-8 p.m. at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery, 136 State Street, in Portsmouth. It’s been a long winter, and spring is in the air!
