While the rest of the nation watches televised weather reports indicating a snow-mageddon approaching the east coast, Penny and I just returned from a trip to Little Falls, New York (from Syracuse) via the New York State thruway, which was dry as a bone, and coupled with the sunshine, it was a glorious, albeit cold, day for a road trip!
I think the actual storm is coming later in the day tomorrow.
We both had artwork in the Christmas exhibition at the Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts (410 Canal Place, Little Falls, New York 13365) and went there to pick up our work, as the show had ended.
While in the vicinity of the gallery, we had lunch then decided to check out Showcase Antiques (375 Canal Place, Little Falls, New York 13365).
Over thirty vendors are represented in this wonderful shop! There are several aisles of items in glass cases, as well as individual booths that are curated as mini shoppes – vintage clothing, army paraphernalia, antique furniture, record collections, etc.
It is one of those places you must revisit regularly, as new “old” merchandise is always added.
I will be back for one of these crisp 1963 $2.00 bills (above). Apparently, everything in the shop is pre-1975, which means that fifty-year-old things are antiques. It is really weird to think that stuff I played with as a child is now an antique, lol.
And Pyrex bowls (above) are highly collectable these days. We had the mint green ones back in the day.
I love this desk (above).
And this oak one (above) .
So fun! Thank you, Penny!
If you are in the vicinity of Little Falls, New York, there is a little festival happening this weekend (Dec 12, 13, 14, 2025). In addition to the activities listed, the shops are open during their regular hours through Christmas.
I have two paintings for sale at Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts, 410 Canal Place, Little Falls, NY. They created a show of work priced at $100 and below to encourage art enthusiasts to purchase art as gifts for the holidays and to buy local.
You will be getting a deal because these are normally $125! They are from my first horse series created in 2012 – encaustic & collage, 12″ x 12″ mounted on 18″ x 18″ chalkboard painted masonite.
I was lucky enough to spend the day with my dear friend and fellow artist, Penny Santy. It was a lovely day for a drive to Little Falls, New York where Penny’s art show, Intertwined, is currently on exhibition at the Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts (MVCA), 410 Canal Place, Little Falls, New York 13365.
Penny gave a talk today explaining her process and the emotion that defines her work. It is to do with motion – in winds, in ocean currents and in the way people must physically move, working together to attain goals, helping each other rise up the emotional ladder too, all while intertwining with nature.
Ghostly figures emerge from the abstracted canvases, which are inspired by her personal life, one of beach water sports, travel and enjoying time with family and friends. In addition, she infuses a tribute to Native American mores and interprets favorite poetry stanzas then titles these oil paintings accordingly.
There are seventeen paintings in the show. Several are still available for sale. You can view this exhibition through November 14, 2025. See the MVCA website for the deets including hours of operation.
Yulia Levkovich facilitated a class at the local community college – the focus? Portraits. Specifically women painting portraits of other women, Utica residents who have inspired them in some way – teachers, doctors, lawyers, mothers….
The result is this exhibition, currently on view through April 6, 2024 at Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts, 401-403 Canal Place, Little Falls, New York.
There are two galleries at this location. The other is filled with consigned objects – paintings, ceramics, sculptures, accessories and other trinkets all by regional artists.
Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts is open Thursdays-Saturdays. Call (315) 823-0808 or email director@mohawkvalleyarts.org for more information including any inquiries regarding upcoming art shows.
