We have a new show up at the White Meeting House, “Pastels Around Town” by Waterbury resident Belle McDougall. These colorful landscapes will brighten your day, for sure.
Belle is also offering two neat opportunities on Sunday, February 12. At noon, she will offer a talk about her work and process. Art talks are a fun, free way to find out more about the thinking that goes into the art works we enjoy, to find out more about technique or process, and to just get inspired! The talk is free and light refreshments will be served.
Then, from 1 to 3 PM (also on the 12th), Belle will offer a workshop on pastels. This would be great for beginners, as well as for folks who haven’t used their pastels in a while and are looking for a way to re-enter. The workshop is free. If you have materials, bring those; if not, Belle can provide materials for you to use that day for a donation of $5. Please email the artist directly at btmcdougall@gmail.com to sign up for the workshop.
McDougall’s show is open from January 15th through March 5th. Admission is free. The building is generally open Tuesday through Friday from 8:30A to 4:30P, and later on Wednesdays. (Still, it’s always a good idea to call 244-6606 and confirm it is open if you’re making a special trip!) If you have additional questions, email Torrey at torreycsmith@yahoo.com.
