SUMMARY:"Seasons"\, Paintings by Kelly Anderson
DESCRIPTION:Winter Tree Shadow by Kelly Anderson\nStop in to see the work of the featured artist of the month\, Kelly Anderson\, in the cafe gallery during regular business hours: Tuesday-Saturday 10-5\, Wednesday 10-6. \n**Please join us for a meet the artist reception on Saturday\, April 2nd\, 2-4 p.m.** \nAbout the artist:  \nKelly is a self-taught painter working in oil and more recently\, watercolor. Raised in Harpswell Maine and now enjoying Webster Lake\, she is drawn to painting rocky coastlines\, the beauty of trees\, birds and all things natural and meditative lake water. Kelly is inspired by her favorite painters Andrew Wyeth and Winslow Homer \nKelly is grateful for developing an artist’s eye for observation\, now seeing beauty in things that previously lacked significance. Gratitude also extends to what she has learned from painting that has impacted her life in general: gaining patience to wait for the canvas to dry when it would be satisfying to continue painting\, not being frugal with paint and materials in order to create a desired effect the first time\, and having confidence that the ugly parts of the painting process in the beginning will bring forth the desired feeling. \nInspired by Wyeth’s Teel’s Island by Kelly Anderson\nThe theme of Kelly’s show is Seasons. It captures many of her inspirations. Each of the naturally stained poplar floating frames were made Kelly’s husband\, Matt.

SUMMARY:May Art Exhibit-Is There Beauty Within Tragedy? by Eren Torres
DESCRIPTION:Stop in during the month of May to view drawings and mixed media artwork by Eren Torres in the cafe gallery during regular business hours: Tuesday-Saturday 10-5\, Wednesday 10-6. \nA meet and greet with the artist will take place on Saturday\, May 14th\, 2-4 p.m. Call 508-949-6232 for more information. \nThis is a portfolio on tragedy. We all know the meaning of that word and what emotions come with it. But what if there was some unforeseen side to it? What if we took tragedy and turned it into beauty. Can tragedy be beautiful? Can something as dark and cold as tragedy be seen as something beautiful? And how\, just how\, can we perceive that?   \n  \n \n  \nAbout the Artist: \nSeventeen-year-old upcoming artist Eren Torres takes inspiration from things most people would see as “bad” “dark” and “horrific” and sees them in a positive and fulfilling way\, taking away the negative attributes of the world and forcing others to see them in a different way. As a proud member of the LGBT community and born into a Hispanic household\, Eren sought to make change with their art. Hoping it can become a tool for the world to see things in common\, as well as each other\, to create a conjoined and hopeful community.

SUMMARY:Beyond Blooms\, Textures in our Garden-Photography Exhibit by Don McCallister
DESCRIPTION:Textures in the Garden by Don McCallister\nThe featured art show of July is photography by Don McCallister\, on display and for sale July 5th-30th in the cafe gallery.\n \nA reception to meet the artist will take place on Saturday\, July 23rd from 1-3 p.m.  \nViewing hours for the public are Tuesday-Saturday 10-5\, Wednesday 10-6.  \nFor more information call 508-949-6232 or email deb@bookloversgourmet.com \n  \n  \nArtist’s statement: \nGardens can be beautiful with flowers of every color and hue. But when the flowers are finished blooming\, all you have left in boring green foliage. Right? Well\, not necessarily. There can be interesting subjects in the garden all year long. All you need to do is look beyond the blooms and you’ll discover a never ending variety of shapes and textures. (And having a talented gardener\, such as my wife\, to design the gardens helps.) I hope this collection will inspire its viewers to look for unexpected beauty in our yards and in the natural world. \n

SUMMARY:Walking Through the Woods on a Foggy Day in December-Photo Show
DESCRIPTION:View the ethereal photographs of Bettie Carlson December 1st-31st in our cafe gallery. \nA public meet the artist reception will take place on Sunday\, December 11th\, 1-3 p.m. \nArtist’s Statement: Winter\, the time when all the leaves have fallen from the trees and the flowers have died and all the colors have gone from the land. Or have they?? Is it just that the colors are more subtle than in the warmer months? Not everything is dead. Most are just waiting for springtime when they can rise again. But on a foggy day in December\, I discovered plenty of color – and some fascinating shapes in the decaying wood and leaves that I might not have noticed with the distractions of all that summertime color.  And the fog created a veil to embrace it all.

SUMMARY:"Lights and Icons: A Study in Acrylics"-Paintings by Jim Wilton
DESCRIPTION:Booklovers’ Gourmet is pleased to present “Lights and Icons: A Study in Acrylics”\, paintings by Jim Wilton on view and for sale January 6th-31st\, 2023. \nThe show can be viewed during regular business hours\, Tuesday-Saturday 10am-5 pm\, Wednesday 10am-6pm in the cafe gallery. \nA public reception with the artist will take place on Saturday\, January 7th\, 2-4 pm. \nFor more information call 508-949-6232 or email deb@bookloversgourmet.com. \nArtist’s Statement: “I’ve been photographing and painting for years\, in fact all my life. I’m mostly self taught other than my elementary and high school. I have photographed  lighthouses as well as other subjects for inspiration for my art. These beautiful locations have inspired me to seek more outdoor locations as well as other subject matter. \n  \nI spent many years painting portraits but have switched it up to trying lighthouses after a hiatus to raise children but also found myself returning to portraits. I began photography of outdoor scenes and wildlife in 2008 after finding digital photography\, making it more accessible. A few years ago I began painting again after a friend painted from one of my photos thus inspiring me to try again. I haven’t stopped but also got into crafts such as seashell jewelry boxes\, Christmas trees and lighthouses. I hope folks enjoy my work as much as I enjoyed painting it.”

I grew up in Swampscott\, MA\, an oceanside community north of Boston.  Professionally\, I have worked as an RN and a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner for 45 years.  I had a few courses in art as a teen and took 2 courses at Montserrat School of Art in Beverly\, MA in pastels and watercolors with artist/teacher\, Mimi Johnson. Retiring in 2016\, I have had the time to pursue my interests in art\, music\, dance and photography.  \nMany of the paintings that I create are based on my photographs or the photographs by friends with their permission.  Artist\, Elaine Griffith\, (now\, Artist\, Janice Legare ) taught classes at Holden Senior Center in acrylic painting which I started in October 2017.  Since then\, I have exhibited in various places in Central MA. I started Art Classes with Bill Griffiths at the Worcester Art Museum in 2018\, which brought me to a new level as an artist.  He has taught in all mediums and students work in the medium of their choosing.  I have exhibited at the Museum’s Adult Student Art Exhibit and at Arts Worcester.  In 2018\, I started watercolor classes with Charlie Grey in Rutland\, MA.\, a local well-known artist who has been instrumental in improving my watercolor technique. In July 2021. I participated in an intense workshop under the direction of Artists Mimi Johnson and Mark Hayden in multiple art forms. I am also a musician and singer and have sung in choruses and churches in Greater Boston.  I studied voice with the late Pauline Maher of Lynn\, MA. The Pandemic in 2020 cut into my exhibition time.  Booklovers’ Gourmet in Webster\, MA. was my first exhibit of 2020 and in December 2021.  Recently\, I have exhibited at the Gale Free Library and 122 Diner in Holden\, and The Pearle L. Crawford Library in Dudley.
