The Art of P. Buckley Moss

Hello All,

I am coming to the end of my fall Panama painting session. Malcolm and I leave Bocas del Toro to travel back to Virginia on Saturday. The stay has been very productive and I have enjoyed many secluded hours of painting.

It is always good to get home. I am looking forward to being with my family again and to meeting with those of you who can make it to my barn/studio open house the weekend of October 11-13th. I have a busy program ahead with the Foundation's conference in Morgantown, West Virginia, October 19-21st, and our Collectors' Convention in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, October 25-27th. With my painting schedule well up to date, I shall feel free to enjoy the company of friends.

This week Bocas held its annual Fereia del Mar (Fair of the Sea). The town was packed with people and a bit noisy but fun. I bought a beautifully carved Armadillo that I then left in a taxi along with my umbrella. I got the umbrella back but sadly not the carving.

Yesterday I met with June Dejonge, an artist from Maine. She and her husband had heard I was in town and came looking for me. Malcolm and I took the two of them to the farm and afterwards we had dinner on their motor yacht. Air conditioned and with walls of polished mahogany, we dined in luxury, a delight after the heat and humidity of Finca Tranquilla.

Next week my letter will come to you from Florida as we stop over at the gallery in St. Petersburg for a two night stay.

Love,

Pat
