We are showing the work of Betty Ball for the first time and will exhibit work from the Land and Sea series.  The show also debuts the Waterman Palms series by Ferdinanda Florence, created in 2021, as a way to counter the uncertainty of 2020.  To Florence, “Palms strike me both as delightful and ridiculous.”  Summer Escape also features several new Beach Scenes inspired by Compo Beach by Dale Najarian.
