You don't want to miss this!

"Here Comes the Sun"
oil on canvas by Bonnie Mason
Private collection

We Double Line Painters were up bright and early to hang our show "Seasons in Salem IV" at the Salem Museum. Its always amazing to see it come together. The painting above of sunflowers by the window in my kitchen is one of my summer season contributions. 



"Bright Sunshiny Day"
oil on canvas by Bonnie Mason
$650

I was visiting a friend when I discovered this beautiful area on the west side of Salem. It was one of those bright days in autumn when everything seems fresh and clean which reminded me of that old song. Do you know it? I think the first line is "I can see clearly now the rain is gone...." and it just dawned on me that the title of the sunflower painting above is also a line in a song.

If you have never been to the museum this is a great time to go. The show will be up from June 13 through July 11, 2015. The museum is having a "block party" this Saturday June 13 and the proceeds will support completion of the unfinished galleries in the museum's basement so if you're looking for something fun to do this is a way to combine two events and support a good cause in one outing. A portion of the proceeds from our show will also go to support the museum.
