This is not directly food related, but I have exciting news! One of my paintings, “Provence in Ancram,” (24″ x 30″) has been selected for the Columbia County Council on the Arts annual Juried Art Show at the Hudson Opera House (327 Warren Street, Hudson). The opening reception will be Saturday, Feb. 23, from 5 to 7 p.m. and I will be there! The show runs through March 25.
