   I Left My Heart in Paris
   by Jane Kautzer

Honfleur and  I left My Heart in Paris will be on exhibit at Gallery 110 North, Plymouth as part of the Plymouth Arts Center 22nd Holiday Membership Exhibition.

I have traveled a lot since my retirement last October.   My wife and I stayed in Europe for seven weeks this year and explored northern France, Barcelona, and London.  I painted nearly every day. Honfleur was painted on a bright sunny day.   My wife took the photo of  locks on Pont des Arts Bridge.  Large sections of the bridge were covered with locks until 2015 when Paris authorities removed the locks to protect the integrity of the bridge. Come see the show and talk to me about my trip.

The show will be up from December 1 – January 12, 2018. 

Artists’ Opening Reception is on Friday, December 1 from 4:30 pm – 7:30 pm.   Awards presented at 6 pm.  Complementary snacks and open bar.  Live music.

Frank Juarez, gallery director and artist from Sheboygan will be the judge.  Best of Show, First through Third Place and Merit Awards will be presented at the reception.   The Robert Heuel O.P.A.  Award will be given to an artist who displays exceptional skill in his/her chosen path. 

The Plymouth Arts Center is at 520 E Mill Street, Plymouth. Gallery hours are Tuesdays – Fridays 10 am – 4 pm.  Saturdays – Sundays noon – 3 pm.  Closed Mondays and holidays.  Admission is free.
