Walpole Library fundraiser

Local painters have made donations to the Walpole Library art auction.

Recently this article appeared in the Walpole Times:

WALPOLE - Original art work to be auctioned off at the Friends of the Walpole Library Art Auction to be held on Saturday, Nov. 14 from 7-10 p.m. in the Allen Room of the Walpole Country Club. Shown here are five members of the Foxboro Art Association: Nancy Bacevich, Haydi Hurley, Tony Donovan, and Ann Gorbett all Walpole residents, and Kimberly Weineck formerly of Walpole currently living in North Attleboro. Raffle items and a silent auction of donations from local businesses and area attractions further help to raise funds for the new library. Music provided by the Wildewood Jazz Band. For more information go to walpolelibraryfriends.org.

You may recognize a few names in here from Gallery9 and Custom Art Framing. I'm holding my pastel---framed at Custom Art Framing, of course! There's also Tony Donovan of First Friday, October 2nd in the gallery fame. Gallery9 carries the work of Ann Gorbett and has carried the work of Nancy Bacevich.

It'll be a great event at the Walpole Country Club. Hope you can make it!

Now in gallery 9

As promised, here are some new shots from the gallery.

Here is an oil entitled, you guessed it, "Caramels and Peppermints" by Vanessa St Laurent.
Wonderful new bracelets by Nancy MacCallum. Trust us, you need to have one of these. They are just lovely, unique, hand made treasures!

A new artist for us, A S Donovan who has a loose, painterly style. On the left, a Paris Metro Map followed by two rural scenes. A delight.

Nancy Bacevich is also new to the gallery and she does wonderful pastels. Her figures are captivating and she does take commissions for portraiture.

These are a joy to see in person! Ann Gorbett, another artist new to the gallery, created these "Mini Masters" as an art exercise. Can you spot the Degas and the two Van Gogh's? How about the original composition by Ann Gorbett?
While we love the "Mini Masters," we also loved her own creations. In person you can see the texture and wonderful framing on this pine and maple tree.

Kathy Weller's work displayed on our artful ledge. Inspiring ideas for your own home? (Perhaps you would like two or three of Kathy's pieces to get this similar look.)

And here's Julie working hard to make all the pieces look fabulous---both on the gallery walls and in your home. Thanks for checking in.
