“New England Light” (acrylic on panel), by Linda Hefner, in the Duxbury (Mass.) Art Association’s “Annual Winter Juried Show,’’ through March 28.
She writes:
“Classic New England architecture is a dying breed. My work celebrates the endangered beauty of old New England barns, schoolhouses, and grange halls, and by extension, the rural communities that depended upon them for daily survival. I build my paintings up slowly and meticulously, focusing on accuracy and fine detail as well as on the play between light and shadow. These wonderful handmade buildings have so much beauty and strength, and I want to invite viewers to share in that with me and to appreciate these monuments of a vanished time before they’re gone.’’
