Spotlight Gallery & Sculpture Garden News 


Fishing Boat, 24 x 24 Inches Oil on wood


An exhibit " Equanimity with Water" - 17 paintings by Candy Barr is on display in the Spotlight Gallery through the end of October.

Well known for her plein air paintings, figures and murals, Candy Barr's paintings are captured alla prima, fresh in color, and reflect an immediate response to the subjects being painted.  Inevitable changes of light force her to paint spontaneously with animated brushwork.  Intense observation for accurate draftsmanship and prolific production deepens and insures her sense of place.

Also, a reception will be held in conjunction with Montpelier's Art Walk, and will include new works  currently being installed in our Sculpture Garden.  The new exhibit will feature the works of 6 Vermont artists and will be on view until 2013.

 Music by Mayfly and a special presentation of the first-ever Arthur Williams Award for Meritorious Service in the Arts. 

   SAVE THE DATE - Sculpture Garden & Spotlight Gallery Reception October 7th from 4-7 PM, as part of Montpelier Art Walk.  Mingle with artists, enjoy refreshments and listen to music by Mayfly.  We hope you will join us! 

The Spotlight Gallery and Sculpture Garden are located at 136 State Street, Montpelier, Vermont.  Gallery hours are Monday thru Friday 8am to 4:30pm.

Ocean View

I thought the picture of the view lined up with the painting was too funny.
So little amuses the artist.

Low Tide Early Morning Rocks

20 x 20 inches Oil on canvas



This wet moss seaweed is pretty darn spring green in the early morning light.





The sound of the glug, glug, glug of the low engine going by to check his traps was a comforting sound at 7 am.
