Newton Art Association Show at Newton Library to Open

by | Sep 4, 2019 | Arts, Cold Wax and Oil, Newton Art Association, Shows

Today a myriad of artists showed up with art work in hand to add to the yearly Newton Public Library Show. The show opening is on Monday at 8 pm and all are invited! There are three rooms displayed with paintings and sculpture: The large gallery room, a middle room and the library entrance hallway. An art hanging committee of ten people (including me) stayed three hours to arrange the pieces, hanging them on clips and spacing and labeling them accordingly. My diptych, “Doors and Ways” is in the main room. See attached photos.There are always a few who label their pieces wrong, like me, and the typist has to make another few labels. Thanks, Carole Slattery!

Travel Inspires Art

I was editing my Perugi Studio Website and placing photographs. This involves going into the media folder and picking out the images. I noticed a photo I took on a trip to Italy three years ago that clearly inspired one of my recent paintings, Arches. The place and image must have been in my subconscious. The photo at right was taken at the Florence Leather School in 2016. The Cold Wax Painting was made in 2019. Take a look and see what you think. Here is the painting and photo:

Cold Wax Painting Class at Post Road Art Center

Doors and Ways by Deb Perugi

This is finally happening this Monday at 1:30!!
Monday, September 6,2019, I’ll be teaching a three week class on cold wax painting at Post Road Art Center in Marlborough. Randi, Post Road’s owner, is so excited she is taking the class with us. Cold wax is a medium that mixes with oil paint, making it somewhat stiffer but with a butter consistency. It dries faster than oil paint alone and allows for scraping and incising when it is partially dry, resulting in a mixed media effect. Come try this new painting experience!

Summer Selective 2019 is Newton Open Studio’s 7th annual summer juried show. This year’s juror is a regionally-celebrated artist currently showing at a retrospective at the Danforth: Newton resident Lois Tarlow. Tarlow has chosen 32 works by 14 artists, creating a exciting showcase of the wide-ranging themes and media that contribute to “discussion” in Newton’s art community.

Gallery reception will be held at NewTV on June 12, 6:30pm-8:30pm. Come enjoy the art, talk to the artists, and enjoy wine and cheese at NewTV’s facilities.
