Celebrate Paint and Pop June 19 – July 5th
Local artist Barbara Winfield was busy over the last year, creating a series of pieces that will bring a smile to your face. Please join her for an opening reception on June 19th from 3-5 pm here at the shop.
Barbara explains her process, saying “For the past several years I have been collecting imagery from both popular and mass culture, such as vintage mid-20th century magazine advertising and iconic comic book art.
I chose imagery that is both nostalgic, amusing and a reflection of American society post WWII. Although many of the images are vintage, they also depict feeling and emotions that resonate today.
These works combine two major mid-20th century art movements: Abstract Painting and Pop Art.
First I chose an image that amuses me, and then created a colorful background painting to frame the image.
Although certain paintings are inspired by Abstract Expressionist women artists of the 40’s and 50’s downtown NY art scene, I discovered that in the end the iconic images I chose actually told me what colors and patterns to use for each image.
My goal is to create art with amazing visual effects that are pleasing to the eye, nostalgic and fun to look at.”
The reception will be held inside and outside, ensuring that all who attend will have an opportunity to see the work while maintaining a respectful distance from others. Masks will be required inside.Barbara Winfield is an artist and writer specializing in Art & Interior Design.

Plants will be available for pickup around Memorial Day weekend, depending on the temperatures. We will also have a limited number of herbs and annuals available.
Tomatoes
Generally, hybrid tomatoes are more prolific and uniform than heirloom varieties, and hybrids usually have more resistance to disease, but many people say heirlooms taste a little better. We start our tomatoes in mid-March, and grow them on in 4-inch pots. Last year we put them in the ground about June 1, and our first ripe tomatoes came in the last week of July. All of these varieties are indeterminate unless noted.
