More Snow??? Way to Go!!!

For those of you who missed the Robert’s Snow Artist Open House on October 6th in Newburyport, Massachusetts, you still have plenty of time to see the beautiful 2007 snowflakes in person at the Child at Heart Gallery. The Robert’s Snow exhibit will remain at the gallery through October 22nd.

Seeing the snowflakes in person is such a thrill. No photograph can capture the individual artistry of each snowflake. Each one is truly a unique work of art.

So sorry my camera was broken—or I’d have more pictures for you.

There will be a second exhibit of the 2007 snowflakes at the Danforth Museum of Art in Framingham, Massachusetts. In addition to the exhibit, there will be an artists' reception on Sunday, November 4.
