PORTSMOUTH -
The New Hampshire Art Association is holding a “Body of Work Series I”
exhibition during the month of March at the Robert Levy Lincoln Gallery on
State Street. NHAA holds several “Body of Work” shows throughout the year to
give its members an opportunity to show a grouping of their works as opposed to
having one piece getting lost hanging among many other artists’ works. Artists
are chosen by a lottery for each of these series. Artists included in this
year’s first Body of Work show include Steve Genatossio, Shaune McCarthy,
Maryclare Heffernan, Ree Katrak, Dustan Knight and Alison Huber-Jewett.

Dustan Knight of New Castle is
happy to exhibit a new series of paintings on a theme close to her heart,
titled “Horse Show.”
“This series evolved over the
years in response to my own love of horses and enjoyment of the local horse
folks,” Knight said.
“My friend, Susan Follansbee, has
been taking terrific photographs and is gracious enough to allow me to work
from them.”
Her paintings are watercolors on
paper mounted on archival panels and finished with many layers of UV resistant
varnish. In 2017 Dustan’s first book, “Painting The Impressionistic Landscape,”
was published by Rockport Publishers and is available at River Run Bookstore,
Barnes & Noble and online.

An exhibition of fine art by the Merrimack River Painters
The Merrimack River Painters are so pleased to be exhibiting
at the Audubon Center this April. We have chosen a theme for our show that
resonates with all those folks who love nature and share a curiosity about
different places, wildlife and environments.

| "Sunset Birches" Acrylic by Dustan Knight |
Our group of twelve dedicated artists are committed to
exploring what ‘means the most to us’ with creative integrity and passion. We
have worked together as a group for more than 18 years and continue to inspire
each other to grow artistically.
Some of our group collect imagery and themes from their
travels, others sketch and paint from familiar locations near their studios. We
all respond visually to the nuances and drama of natures’ landscapes. The
exhibition will feature an exhilarating range of Nature’s encounters including
backyard birds, cascading mountain streams, tundra wildflowers and muskox,
mountain birches and more
Please join us for the opening reception, April 5 from 5:30 to 7:30, to meet the artists.
Particularly
exciting, during the evening, is that we will be sharing our travel sketchbooks, answering questions, and
telling stories of our unusual adventures sketching and painting in places all
around the world.
Dustan Knight, Betsy Janeway, Jan Wittmer, Marilyn Eimon,
Kathy Tangney Mary Ruedig, Susan Levenson, Bonnie Halsey, Claudette Gammon,
Annie Lynch, Ann Saunderson, Terry Heinzmann.
Remember a portion of all sales goes to the Audubon Center.
Our retreat was a week-long opportunity to paint from
morning till night, and sometimes late into the night!
Each day we would walk about a quarter of a mile to the studio,
and both of these views were on the way.
