Kathleen Kotarba, Baltimore, painted Darlington's Grace Memorial Church for last year's festival and returned to have another look at this historic town in northern Harford County, painting its Victorian rectory, which she calls an "architectural challenge," Kathleen notes, "The light at the end of the day creates a warm glow and a shady place to paint."

At this Darlington gazebo, Kathleen found, "​The hostas are in full bloom! The purple blossoms are a perfect foil for the white gazebo and the infinite shades of green. One could almost forget the July heat!"

Kathleen says about Rutledge Brick House Farm in historic Jarrettsville:  "This brick farm house on a rolling hill is so rich in history!  It shows generations of care on the part of its owners. Also, it is a celebration of reds and greens, architecture and nature!"

Kathleen says of 200-year old Amos Mill on the Island Branch of Deer Creek in Pylesville, "​I am so grateful that this treasure is restored for future generations."
