The Great Lakes Pastel Society will hold its Members Exhibit at the Carnegie Center for the Arts in Three Rivers, Michigan. The exhibit will run from June 21 through September 7. Click here for the announcement. It's a great place to view a variety of pastel painting styles and genres! I will have two paintings showing at the event (see below).

My family's Thanksgiving holiday was (once again) spent "way up north, " traversing the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Northern Wisconsin.
