NEWFANE — During the month of February, the Crowell Gallery at the Moore Free Library presents “The Cove: Early Morning on the River.”
The show features a series of paintings of Barton Cove on the Connecticut River. Photographs taken by photographer Rafaela Calicchio inspire 12 of the paintings, each representing the river in the early morning in a month of the year. Additional studies and sketches showing the artist's approach to the river and to painting itself complete the exhibit.
Nancy Calicchio's approach to painting is driven by a desire to capture the beauty of our rural environment and the challenge of interpreting the landscape in light, form, and color. She has exhibited locally and at The Southern Vermont Art Center and at the Bryan Memorial Gallery.
There will be a reception with the artists at the gallery on Saturday, Feb. 4, from 1 to 3 p.m.
The gallery is open during library hours - Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 1 to 5 p.m., Thursdays, 2 to 7 p.m., and Saturdays. 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
