The Pine Shores Art Association has adjusted to the times by holding its annual portrait show online. Although it’s not the same as seeing the works in person, the webmaster has created a way to enlarge the pictures so they can be better appreciated, and they are all very good works. Some are more technically correct and others more creative, but all are enjoyable.

The most contemporary portrait is “Paul at Carmel-by the-Sea” by Melody Johnson Schossig. Her subject, Paul, is relaxing in a tree and perhaps watching a concert or game from this vantage point.
