Art, dance and shifting into summer on Cape Cod

"Waiting and Watching," acrylic on canvas

"Waiting and Watching" by Tish received an award at the opening reception of the Cape Code Art Association's exhibit, "Points of View: Artists' Interpretations of Photography." The exhibit runs through July 9 at the association's gallery in Barnstable.

Tish also is one of the artists in a group that will be exhibiting every Monday this summer on the Village Green in Dennis.

During May, Tish took a break from painting to prepare costumes for a spring ballet show by the Academy of Performing Arts, where daughter Lizzie is a dancer.

The show was called "Ballet, Broadway and Beyond" and played to a sold-out house on May 20.

Assistant teaching at Academy of Performing Arts

Tish writes: "Lizzie has had a busy end of the dance and school year with finals, SAT's, performances, a photoshoot at the beach, and assistant teaching the little dancers. She is now officially a senior at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School, as school ended on June 22nd.

"She will have a full summer trying to fit in a little beach time between scooping ice cream, ballet classes, assistant-teaching ballet, volunteering in the Early Childhood Program that is located at her high school and writing college essays."
