For those of you who live in or near Williamstown, Massachusetts, we are pleased to announce that friend, artist, and subscriber Clare Kirkconnell will be part of a group show opening this evening at the Harrison Gallery on Spring Street.
Clare makes beautiful paintings full of sky. I admire her reverent acknowledgment of the loveliness of open spaces and the power of transitional light. They daringly gaze at the empty air we usually overlook as our senses pursue the motion and clatter of life. Her paintings are peaceful and meditative. I’d love to spend an hour lost in one. I can only imagine how magnificent they look hung on a large, uncluttered wall. I’m too far away from Williamstown to find out this weekend. But you might not be.
Here’s the postcard, some images, other relevant information, etc.

Here’s one of my favorites, titled Respite.
And Lights on Celadon. Amazing.
Beautiful, Clare, beautiful.
A great show. Marvelous people. Superb wine. A most happy and comfortable Friday evening in Williamstown…
Again, a big thank you to Robbi and Matthew for the lovely plug. And thanks for the kind words to Jenifer and Sam. It was an honor to show with Hannock and Petegorsky at Harrison, and I always enjoy being in Williamstown. It’s a very special place.
I really love those paintings. Thanks for the introduction! (and congrats to Clare!)
