Have you ever wanted to see yourself in a masterpiece? I had that opportunity at the Lyme Art Association last week, during Old Lyme's Mid-Summer Festival. Friends Donna and Linda got in on the act too!

The Lyme Art Association hosted The Hudson Valley Art Association's 85th Annual Juried Exhibition from June 15th to August 3rd 2018. No forms of distorted paintings are accepted since their purpose is to preserve and encourage natural forms in fine art. Here are a few examples:
 |
| Laura Paray, Scintillating Water, Oil, 18x24, 2018 |
 |
| Corey Pitkin, Soldier's Joy, 24x20, oil |
 |
| Barbara Efchak, Belgium Breakfast, 12x16, $1400 |
Below are some examples from the American Waters Exhibit, also on view at the Lyme Art Association. I've always loved views of water, and in paintings have been fascinated with close up views of ripples and reflections in water. The blue shell crab represents all that is good about southeastern Connecticut - color, salt air, coastal views, and seafood!

Out in front of the LAA was a wild life exhibit, where we saw rescued owls.
Afterwards, we strolled around the corner to the Hideaway Restaurant and Pub. As we enjoyed our lunch with a window view of the marsh by the Lieutenant River, there was more wildlife to come. Amazingly, we saw a deer grazing along the edge of the marsh! It entertained us throughout our meal.
