Others see them as the start of something even better.

Fairweather House and Garden presents an opening exhibition of the new work by summertime artist Paul Brent on Friday, June 27th. 11:am -5:pm, complimentary mimosas and a light brunch will be offered. And, too, the artist will make an appearance between 11:am to 1:pm!
“If we have customers after 1:pm I can always stay longer. If there are any inquiries for meeting me later I can always come back for an appointment meeting.” –Paul
“One of the unexpected pleasures of an artist returning to a place year after year, as in this case, Paul Brent, is that every summer is a sort of homecoming. Returning artists, find everything as they left it, the oceans, the skies, the beach…as if they merely stepped out for an errand then returned…a year later to restore, relax and recapture moments desired and longed for. And so it goes forward, against a familiar backdrop, one notices breathtaking new work and endless inspirations for the season.” –D. Fairweather.
