Preparing for Spring.

It's been a winter of quiet beauty in the mountains this year, punctuated last week with a 40" snowfall. Today, fog and a gentle drizzle wanting to turn to snow remind us that Spring is on its way.

The colder months are a time our little town sees fewer visitors, neighbors hunker down by their woodstoves, and the gallery is quiet. It gives us an opportunity to review where we are, where we're going, and plan some new directions.

We've also been taking the time to do some much needed sprucing up of our rustic physical space. After two years we've about worn out some of the walls with the fine works we've mounted. Landlord Stu has generously donated some paint for a fresh coat of ivory.

Hoping to capture more of that traffic that eases into town on Highway 119, we're redoing some signage. Taking a break from painting the walls, here's Bette working on the the lettering for a new sign for our 2nd St side, with Phyllis giving considered advice on the layout.
