And that’s wrap! If you haven’t yet seen the Brush With Nature exhibition, time is running out.

The paint isn’t even dry on a few of the paintings, and we are sad to say the show is drawing to a close on Aug. 31.

Everyone here at the Kings County Museum is thrilled with this beautiful exhibition that is a celebration of the everyday wonders in Kings County. The exhibit is also a testament to the vision and talent of the artists who participated in the challenge earlier this month.

The works are diverse—oil, acrylic, watercolour and pen and ink– and rediscover the picturesque nooks and crannies of Kings County. As our first en plein air festival, Brush With Nature (and the Kings County Museum), draws to a close, we are proud to say that both experienced and upcoming artists were recognized with awards this year.
