Deb will be showing her latest cold wax paintings at the Newton Open Studios this April 27 and 28. The location for seven artists is a new gallery at New Art @ Trio, 245 Walnut Street in Newtonville, near the intersection of Washinton. Food nearby, parking and elevator. See enclosed ad for a look at the other artsts at this location. Or go here for more information about the event and a map locating over 150 artists.
Several Newton artist members of both Newton Open Studios and Newton Art Association invited me to apply to become a member of Galatea Fine Art Gallery. It is located in the SoWa (South of Washington) district of Boston, located at Harrison Avenue, 3B-6. I have been to the gallery before to visit artist friends who were members there.
“SoWa is the most sought-after art community in Boston with over 30 galleries, design houses and restaurants all clustered within walking distance. Hundreds of people come out on First Friday to view the new exhibitions in the area, as well as the Open Markets from May – October. Galatea Fine Art has been, and continues to be, a source of comprehensive, stimulating and nourishing exhibitions, creating a pillar of activity in the area.”
Galatea itself is a co-operative gallery with fifty artist members. Each member exhibits in a member show in January and schedules their own show as well. It is not just a gallery but a community of artists who meet and support each other. I’m looking forward to meeting the other artists. And I’ll be opening the gallery on Sptember 28 for four hours. Come say hi!

Coming soon! Newton Open Studios is heralding Spring this year with a show May 21 and 22 throughout the town. With over 190 artists, find me and ten other artists at New Art @ Trio, 245 Walnut Street, Newtonville, a well-lit large gallery space, corner of Washington St. 11 am to 5 pm both days. We are on the second floor accessible by elevator.
Date still to be announced is the second annual “Pop-Up Art Sale”, in West Newton this Fall (Sept or Oct). Located at 52 Sewall Street in West Newton, it was a huge success last year. The open grassy green space with shade was perfect for visitors to stroll and take in the photography, painting and crafts. Stay tuned!
I had a lot planned this Spring. This weekend I would have been in Newton Centre at the Newton Open Studios weekend show. I was also scheduled to teach Cold Wax Medium classes for Newton Community Education in April. Then, in June, I was to hang a month long show of my paintings at United Parish of Auburndale. Suddenly, that very busy Spring and Summer has turned into other sorts of work because of the Covid 19 Virus.
I subscribed to a three part online Cold Wax class by the authors of the Cold Wax bible, Cold Wax Medium: Techniques, Concepts and Conversations by Jerry McLaughlin, Rebecca A. Crowell. I’m looking forward to spending seven hours learning about new techniques and practicing in my home studio. But, this will have to wait a week or two while I help a Globe colleague layout a 160 page book about a South Boston Village and its history. This has been a nice distraction and it feels good to be employed.
A hello to everyone and hope that you are all well and you and your loved ones are safe. Hopefully, this summer will bring a safer environment.
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.
