Well, first off the surf was up, so that most of the parking spots were taken by the surfers, and two, it was really the first plus 80 degree day since last summer.. as we painted just more and more beach goers showed up.. Mobbed by the time we left. Hull /Nantasket Beach, oil on canvas 12 x 16

The Scituate Arts Assoc is offering a Sailor’s Valentine Workshop:

"Join us on Sunday, February 25th, 1-4pm (with an inclement weather date of March 3rd) at the Ellis House at 709 Country Way, Scituate, MA to create your own beautiful Sailor's Valentine! Supplies and workshop leader provided. $100.00 per person which includes supplies. Sailor's Valentines are a beautiful way to preserve favorite seashells from your own collection, along with the shells provided during the workshop. Glass-front wooden shadow boxes also provided. The Sailor's Valentine tradition dates back to the early 19th Century when sailors, away from loved ones for months at a time, collected seashells and sea glass from their travels and glued them into beautiful patterns inside glass covered boxes, gifting the valentines to their loved ones upon their return. To register contact Robin Glazier at: [email protected] and type “Sailor’s Valentine” in the Subject line.”

This is an adult workshop due to the fine motor skills required, however, students 8th grade and over can also register.
