And so, December starts, and in this month of long, dark nights, we feel our age in the early sunsets, and our losses in the lateness of the dawns. We fight back, celebrating and decorating with light. We cook and clean and shop, we plan and order and wrap to fend off the fears, keep the sadness at bay. And if we are lucky, we tuck our faith – in God, in nature, in family, in art, in laughter, in humanity – close around us, and feel thankful for its warmth.

You can find some warmth and friendship and art at the Wallkill River School in Montgomery this weekend. My work and Shawn Dell Joyce’s will be included in the members’ show, which opens with a reception on Saturday, from 5-8 p.m. You’re invited; please come!

All weekend, as well, the Starving Artists sale will offer framed and unframed pieces of our work, along with the work of many other local artists, at discount prices. The school in on Route 17K in Montgomery. Check the website to the right of this column for directions and more information.
