The Washington County Museum of Fine Arts in Hagerstown invited Harry to display some of his work there. He is in the company of other fine watercolor artists such as three generations of Wyeths. Our Brokerage Services

January 31st is Inspire Your Heart with Art Day! To help you celebrate, we will give a 15% discount on any framing brought in Monday through Thursday during the entire month of January! Remember, changing the mats on your existing artwork can give it new life and is an inexpensive to update your décor. 
TIP OF THE MONTH
All textiles, including any type of needlework, need to "breathe". Some traditional framing methods provide an environment that can trap moisture and promote the growth of harmful molds. We at the Museum Shop use methods recommended by the National Textile Museum.
