Apples & Art!

---

​It is that time of year at the orchard when we celebrate the change of seasons! This is a quick newsletter to invite everyone to come celebrate with us!

Mark your calendars! I know we live far from many of you, but I tell you, it's beautiful up here. And we'd love to see you. It truly is worth a road trip. Come stroll through the orchard, enjoy the fall foliage and apples and cider, and bask in the art of some fabulous local artists. Doesn't that sound wonderful?


For our 2nd annual Apples and Art Fall Festival we are starting the day with yoga in the orchard! Thank you Life Is Bliss Yoga! Bring your mat and join in!

We have 7 local artists joining in as well as music from the porch (yay! we have a porch this year) - thank you Zach! AND it truly looks like the sun is going to shine! Mother Nature is giving us a major bonus.



​Meet the Artists! It's fun to plan a pop-up exhibit when you get to invite your artist friends. We are all just looking forward to having a good time together. And Jeff and I have been baking up a storm and pressing fresh cider. All the goodies are donation based. 

For fun, each of the artists answered a random question to help you get to know them better. You can find examples of their art below.

​LORI FELDPAUSCH

What do you most appreciate in life?

Being in my 60's now I don't sweat the small stuff. I always keep paintings joyful and try to keep the negative out of my work.

 
LAUREN EVERETT FINN

What unusual superpower would you like to have?

Teleportation!! Along with a clone to do all the icky jobs so I’d be free to travel to see family, friends and interesting places.

JENNIFER FLYNN

What is your favorite tradition?

My favorite tradition is celebrating Easter, hosting my family, celebrating at church with beautiful music and flowers and the promise of Spring!

WENDY MCWHORTER

What special talent do you have?

I'm an excellent parallel parker.

MARK MEHAFFEY

What do you most appreciate in life?

Painting. Fishing. A good cheeseburger. All 3 may be equally important.

 
PAM SPICER

What's your favorite tradition?

As far back as I can remember, enjoying a home-made meal around a dining room table with family or dear friends (or both!).
 
ADAM VANHOUTEN

Do you have any hidden talents?

In addition to painting I also play guitar and was in several bands in college. I should play more music, but I am more focused on my visual artworks.

What animal represents you?

Australian shepherd - energetic, can run forever, loyal and loving but gets bored easily and can be annoying as hell. 

AND ME! JESSICA KOVAN

What's your favorite word?

SONDER.  The profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own.We can't wait to see you this week!

If you can't make it to Apples & Art (perhaps it would require a plane trip?), you can still find my small paintings on Daily Paintworks. As always, I will happily put them in the mail to you. If you are interested in a painting on my website, please email me directly. You can also find my paintings in Sleeping Bear Gallery in Glen Arbor, MI, Blue North Arts in Suttons Bay, MI, Lansing Art Gallery in Lansing and Hayley Gallery in New Albany, OH. 

I am also teaching two classes this fall at Oliver Art Center in Frankfort. You can find more info here. Or ask me about them when I see you on October 2nd!
I hope to see you soon!

All my best,

Jessica
