 Join us Saturday, April 13, from 6 to 8 PM as we host an opening reception for 'Traversing Water & Land'– a solo exhibit of paintings by Lunenburg, MA artist Jill Pottle. Enjoy complementary adult refreshments, chat with the artist, and socialize with local art enthusiasts. Free and open to the public. True Grit Art Gallery is located at 38 Center St. in Middleboro,MA. Jill Pottle is an artist from Worcester County who exhibits her paintings and drawings both locally and nationally. She graduated from Syracuse University with a BFA and received her MFA from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School. She is a lifelong accomplished artist and has been teaching art for 39 years. My paintings have been described as "expressionist realism". I primarily work from life and reinterpret the subject into a personal response to convey my story. I get lost in the moment, searching for that perfect brush stroke or that delicious color combination or that mark that leads to the vivid illusion of reality. In all things, I see the world as a mirror and have an insatiable curiosity and passion. I create landscapes "en plein air“ and studio paintings either oils or acrylics. Working outside on location keeps a renewed vision of observation, everything is constantly changing. I try to capture moments in the time, when in front of nature. The landscape reminds me to be spontaneous when I return to the studio. —Jill Pottle Traversing Water & Land will be up from its opening night through May 4. Regular gallery hours are Tuesdays 11 to 4, Wednesday through Friday 10 to 5, and Saturdays 10 to 3.
