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!

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.

The Newton Art Association is holding its 2018 James King Bonnar Show which runs through January 2. I’m a new member and I wanted to get to know some people before the show, so, I volunteered to help hang some of the art. It is being held in the New Art Center in Newton, Massachusetts. My 16″ x 20″ painting, “Trees Out Front” is displayed there. Hanging an art show is very rewarding and tiring! My partner and I hung over 22 paintings in about three hours. One entire side of the room plus a few more….
At right, I am at the James King Bonnar Show. The best part is seeing the painting which is still hanging at Newton Art Center. It looks good on my wall at home, so perhaps that is where it will stay.
Another show I participated in is in Marlborough at Jorie Designs, located on the Old Post Road, Rte. 20. Three paintings of mine were accepted into the show. “Orange Fruit”, “Emerson’s Field” and “Through the Trees”. Jorie is also selling crafts and Jewelry, including some Paterostri pieces. Be sure to stop by! Jorie is an artist herself and is a delight to visit with.
