Reception is April 1 at 5 pm at the Whipple Fine Art Gallery on Campus Keep in mind that it's a three hour trip one way. Christine says that she does not expect a large turnout from the Portland crowd. But if you happen to be down that way, then please stop in. Also, Eric Sandgren and Yolanda Valdes-Rementeria have paintings in the Art About Agriculture show at the Giustina Gallery at Oregon State University in Corvallis that is on the way. Keep painting outdoors,  Brooks
