MELINDA'S NEXT SHOW

It's the season for art openings. All the Summer- and Fall-inspired artists pulling the veils from warm works, set to remind us of everything but the cooling world outside. True, in Summer a comfy crowd spills from the gallery – but as winter arrives, snacks and treats seem more precious, and the warm, welcoming gallery even moreso. So what's happening this week that's got us ready for framed, wall-hung delights? It's the Colored Pencil Society of America local District Chapter's annual show! Yeah, Friday night from 5:00 to 8:00 at the Old Schoolhouse Gallery, north of Cedar Crest, NM. But it gets better: Melinda's in it!

Melinda's no stranger to colored pencil works, taking a Second Place at NM Masterworks for one this Spring. And if you missed one of her more celebrated pieces from that show, you'll be glad to know you can stop kicking yourself. "Catch a Flying Star," along with original work she did for TC on Hey Diddle-Diddle, and new pieces will be on show Friday night. Proud as the Old Schoolhouse is to host this prestigious show, we're even prouder of Melinda's much-deserved place in it.


The show is free, and runs till the 27th, if you can't make it Friday. But we certainly hope you will.
