After a book-signing in Medina, NY (and a really fast lunch scarfed down in the car on the NY Thruway), we arrived at the Pat Rini Rohrer Gallery in Canandaigua for a second Saturday event. This one featured the original SPITFIRE cover painting (which I hadn’t seen before this weekend!).
We signed another 65 books at the Canandaigua event and basked in the beautiful setting. The gallery has a show on called “Small Works…Small Wonders,” and I found myself getting lost in the paintings whenever we had a break. My mom, Spitfire cover artist Gail Smith Schirmer, has a number of paintings in that show through November 3rd. But there’s one small work in particular that’s gone…
This one came home to Lake Champlain with me.
