Artist and Employee Breahna Arnold’s STAFF PICK this month are Coloursoft Pencils by Derwent. Coloursoft Pencils are the softest of pencils but are amazingly strong and have a vibrant range of colors. The velvety softness of the strip releases rich, dense color at a stroke and is perfect for mixing and blending. Despite its soft texture, Coloursoft sharpens to a fine point and works equally well for detailed illustrations or bold, contemporary still-life drawings and portraiture. Available in a wide range of dazzling colors, all with that gorgeous, consistently soft texture.

Smith Clothing presents-
Picture Windows: a solo show by photographer Jason Green.

Come join Smith and Jason Green for an opening on August 13th from 5-10 pm and look through the biggest picture window in town. Bliss Foods joins in providing delicious refreshments for the Picture Windows opening at Smith, 28 Nugent Street in Southampton, NY. The photo exhibition of Mr. Green’s newest work will run through September 13th, displaying fresh, evocative land and seascapes Along side 4 clothing designers: Sister Cat, Alissa Smith, Anna Marcel, and Alisha Trimble.

In his late twenties, Jason Green has been photographing on the east end of Long Island for several years. His work has been displayed at many galleries and art collectives, including Arts 4, Bonic Tonic, the Benson/Keyes Gallery, East End Arts Council, Labl, Wild Thyme Restaurant and The Chelsea Community Center. His photographic work is in the collections of private patrons and is regularly featured in the Independent newspapers. He also received an honorable mention in 2005 at the East End Art Council’s juried show. This will be Jason Green’s first solo show.

A great venue for Green’s energetic art with its cooling waft of nostalgia for the era of fine photography, Smith is an independent women’s clothing and accessories boutique featuring vintage-inspired pieces made from hand-dyed fabrics with attention to fine detailing.

About Katy’s Courage
Katy Stewart is ten years old and lives with her family in Sag Harbor, N.Y. She is the daughter of two Eastern Long Island educators – Jim, a teacher and wrestling, soccer and tennis coach at East Hampton High School; and Brigid, assistant principal at Montauk Public School. Their lives were forever changed on the night of April 3, 2009, when Katy awoke at a slumber party with excruciating stomach pains. She was raced to the emergency room at Southampton Hospital. By late morning, she and her family were on their way to Stony Brook Hospital where she had a CAT scan. The scan revealed a tumor on her liver. Biopsy results were reported one week later – the tumor was malignant. She had Hepatoblastoma, a rare liver cancer. Katy is currently undergoing treatment at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, where she is courageously fighting her cancer. The mission of Katy’s Courage Fund is to assist the Stewart family with their financial needs while caring for Katy as the family and Katy jointly battle this potentially lethal disease.
