I am thinking back to many years of summer camp in northern Wisconsin (Camp Osoha) and thinking of "Christmas in July" . . .a celebration that we had there with a decorated canoe parade and more . . . And yes, we did also celebrate the 4th - we were always looking for excuses to have extra ice cream sundaes for dessert!
So, my artwork today is for Christmas - actually for Christmas in St Michaels which is correctly celebrated in December. And the story is this . . .CISM is a weekend in December - a fundraiser for local non profits - with a parade, Santa Breakfast, gala dinner dance and House Tour. Members of the St Michaels Art League have volunteered for the past 30 years to make drawings of the houses which are on the tour. Scanned images of the pictures are used in a booklet and the originals are framed and given to the homeowners who have generously offered to have their home on tour for the weekend.
I volunteered to do two drawings - they are due the first of August - and they are finished! I am patting myself on the back to be done early. Even though it was fun to draw them and I do appreciate all the work that goes into this event, it's wonderful to cross this off my list.
There are usually 'in town' and 'out of town' houses on the tour. Here are two of the 'in town' homes. Check the St Michaels website for info on this event and find out more. Then when you come to town, see if you can find these houses!
Enjoy your holiday - whatever it is!
