2021 MBFA Annual Holiday Show
December 03 - January 29
Our annual Holiday show is a focus on things hand-made to help make indoor life in the winter months more special.
The show is up until January 29 (its not just about things to slip into stockings or under trees).
Jon Rose brought in these two paintings, both views inspired by Connecticut River valley scenes near to where he lives in North Thetford, VT. Susani Arnold recently brought in this floor cloth "Lemons". We have it on the wall but it is, of course, intended to add color and durability to an entry space of some sort.
Susani Arnold's "Gold and Green" floor cloth hanging beside a Kunisada Danjuro VIII triptcyh in a cherry frame (this piece will hang in our next show opening Feb. 4: "Bringing to Life Danjuro VIII, Prints of Utagawa Kunisada").
On the left Jennifer Brown's "Overgrown Fence-row", on the right two of Stephanie Reininger's watercolor paintings: "Of Cabbages and Kings" above "Sonja's Chickens".
A set of Barbara Newton's paper collages interspersed with Amanda Ann Palmer's cut fruit bowls, suitable for wall or table.
This year our display is strong in pottery: new candlesticks by Amanda Ann Palmer, mugs and bowls by Kira Campbell, some raku pieces by Barbara Mason.

A sweet set of Holle Black's drawings on plaster on panel pieces. Mostly what she brought in are images with bird themes, but not all.
Holle Black's "The Gloaming" below three of Amanda Ann Palmer's cut fruit bowls.
Kate and Fred Pearce's display of jewelry is impressive. Kate and her helper Tori re-worked the entire display of over 100 pieces a few weeks back. She says its the strongest display of Pearce Design jewelry to be had anywhere right now.
We've got some great wooden-ware in the gallery: wood lamps by Roger Thrall, turned bowls by Russell Barnes, carved spoons by Glen Latal, pizza peels, pizza cutters, jewelry boxes, pepper shakers, pens and napkin rings by Jim Gold. In the back you can see one of Barbara Newton's paper collage pieces, framed in a cherry frame with museum glass by myself.
Four paintings (oil on panel) by Jennifer Brown. They are all nice but that second one down, "Red Lawn-mower", is, in my opinion, especially nice.
