Baker Orchard Art Festival


In a couple of weeks, I’ll be one of the artists at the Baker Orchard Art Festival! What a treat! I’m excited and will have a booth in the historic barn for this two-day event – September 22-23, from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. both days.  The event includes apple tasting, artist displays, and live music all weekend. 

Paul is busy finishing up all my framing, and we’ll work with our artist friend, Doug Berg, this weekend to put the display panels together and get the lights installed. This is a whole new endeavor for us, but we’re so looking forward to this new adventure. Our daughter, Krista, and her two children came out last weekend, and we took a trip over to the orchard just south of Centuria, WI, to pick up apples for making pies and to check out the barn. What a wonderful place! It was the perfect fall day, and we had a glorious time hiking through the beautiful orchard to pick our own apples.

This week’s painting, Orchard Barn, 8” x 12” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, is a from a photo taken last week of the Baker Orchard barn. I’m hoping it will be a sunshine-y weekend – the barn is lovely with both doors open! Hope to see you next week!
