Traici Thayne Corbett “Dockside” Show. The Falcon’s Nest Gallery At The Hive Opens Dec 15th

Hi Joey;

Thank you for sharing this!  I have been painting forever, but really have delved in deep the past 2 years…  I teach at the Hive, and that has been a great inspiration as well 🙂

The show is next Thursday, 12/15, 6-9 in the Falcon’s Nest Gallery at the HIVE, 11 Pleasant St.  There will be the expected beverages and light snacks…

We’ll be hanging everything 12/13 Tuesday 3:30 – 6 or until it’s done.

I really appreciate this Joe…

Who knew I’d move to Gloucester & end up liking these old rusty boats so much?
