In the spirit of Spring, my collection for this year's Yellow Springs Show reflects the season, with lots of florals (12 to be exact) in various sizes available in original oils and portfolio prints as well. Pack a picnic and come visit one of Chester County's most intriguing historic places. The village is celebrating 300 years of American history and has served as a spa, a Revolutionary War hospital, the Chester Springs Soldiers Orphan School, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, and now HYS. Art can also be purchased directly on-line at https://yellowsprings.org when the show opens.


Hrs: Daily from 10-4
