The Little Red Tractor by Nancy Marshall

The Little Red Tractor by Nancy Marshall

We are sad to share that Nancy Marshall, who so graciously allowed us to use her original artwork “The Little Red Tractor” for our 2011 promotional materials, passed away August 4, 2011, after an extended illness.

We were honored to work with her on the poster design and pleased with her enthusiasm for the festival. We are deeply saddened by her passing and offer our sincere condolences to her family and friends. We count ourselves lucky to have known her.

Nancy was a member of The Connecticut Pastel Society. Her landscapes and still lifes can still be seen at www.ncmarshallpaintings.com.
