🎁 Happy Holidays! 🎁

This year has been a busy and at times chaotic one but I wanted to reach out and wish you a wonderful Holiday Season and New Year!

In the Spring I participated in a Brooklyn Watercolor society (BWS) art exhibit at the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition (BWAC) gallery in Red Hook, Brooklyn—our first art exhibit after the pandemic and after having stepped down as president of BWS for twelve years. I exhibited a pink amaryllis.

Unfortunately during the summer I somehow contracted Covid. I don’t know where or how it happened—I was basically at home for over two years (under house arrest it seems) and wore a mask, distanced myself from others and only made essential visits while constantly washing my hands... The virus took me by surprise and my recovery took time. I felt a different person as this foreign entity took control of my body but thankfully I did recover.

From September through November I taught a watercolor class in Manhattan for retired UFT teachers. It was both hectic and exhilarating passing on my watercolor knowledge to others. I hope I was helpful to my fellow artists.

In October of this year I took part in another BWS exhibit at BWAC. This time I exhibited a painting of hawthorn in fruit. It was wonderful sharing my joy of watercolor. This painting, as all my paintings, was painted from life. This painting will also be on exhibit during BWAC’s Pop-up Holiday Market event:

481 Van Brunt St, Door 7A

Red Hook, Brooklyn, Saturdays and Sundays: December 3/4, 10/11, 17/18, 1-6pm

To end the year I will be participating in an exhibit at the Gaia Gallery - 79 Hudson Avenue at the intersection of Dumbo, Vinegar Hill and the Brooklyn Navy Yard, weekend afternoons. I will have a still-life on exhibit: ‘In the Beginning’.

To sum it up—I’ve been busy. My on-line shop has been up for the past year and has generated lots of sales of tote bags, pillows and mugs, etc. with my original images on them, including two watercolors and nine prints! It pleases me to share the joy and love I have.

Enjoy the Holidays. Be happy and healthy and have a wonderful New Year! Albert
