I have to say that it was a beautiful show. I loved all of our paintings, and the library wants us back again soon. I have to say that the Louis Bay 2nd Library is a great place to show, and Clara and Sal did a terrific job hanging our paintings. <br /><br />Where to next, girls? We are scheduled for a show in November 2009 at the Wyckoff YMCA, but it would be great to do something before that also.Michelle Himeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15850025429633112435noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654908213434334920.post-17296002066848391392008-11-22T07:02:00.000-08:002008-11-22T07:11:04.988-08:00We're Famous!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tcdDQEPqwJM/SSgf106_MlI/AAAAAAAAAgs/jgYXFgdYK98/s1600-h/SuburbanNewsInterview.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271498373436748370" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 233px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tcdDQEPqwJM/SSgf106_MlI/AAAAAAAAAgs/jgYXFgdYK98/s320/SuburbanNewsInterview.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tcdDQEPqwJM/SSgfTMwc7YI/AAAAAAAAAgk/DZcXZlJT9go/s1600-h/SuburbanNewsInterview.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div></div></div><br /><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Since four of us live in Bergen County, the Suburban News did a feature story on us for the "Entertainment" section.

She also enjoys painting seascapes. Her favorite medium is watercolor, but she also paints in pastels and acrylic. Most of her work is traditional, but often she combines this with a non-traditional approach.</div>Michelle Himeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15850025429633112435noreply@blogger.com0
