Painting Accepted

~ MaryG

Good news!

My painting—Woman in the Teal Bathrobe, Minneapolis 2026—was officially accepted into the Stronger Together: Art for Democracy juried exhibition. The show opens Friday, May 2 at my church and will tour to a few other locations including the Fitchburg Art Museum.

Prizes will be awarded at the opening, but I’m just happy to be included. I’m very eager to see the other paintings. I’m told they got some fantastic entries from all around New England. There are 47 artists in all. Including me. I’m one of the artists! I didn’t have “exhibit a painting in a museum” on my official Bucket List, but maybe I should have. I’m pretty excited.

Thanks again to everyone who gave input on this painting and encouragement on my artwork in general.

And thanks to the unknown photographer who took the viral photo that was my inspiration.

PLEASE NOTE: Senator Susan Collins of Maine and all other Republican Senators except for Lisa Murkowski and Rand Paul voted yesterday to advance a $70 billion plan to fund the Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agencies for the next three years, without any of the guardrails sought by Democrats. And by guardrails, I mean the basic procedures that normal police officers have to follow—like getting a warrant before they break down your door.

      2. You’d be surprised. I got a bunch of hate comments on my blog yesterday from one of his supporters. Had to figure out how to block someone on WordPress. 😢

      3. That seems so crazy, every single person I know can’t stand the man but I’m sure there are Canadians who like him too.

      4. Had to chime in to say most of us could never have imagined so many of our friends and neighbors were holding the kinds of views he brought to the surface. 😦
