Oscar Foss Memorial Library News
Art is for
Everyone!
Gilford
artist Gerri Harvey will be speaking at the library on January 14, 2017
at 1:00 PM at an event sponsored by the Friends of the Oscar Foss
Memorial Library. Her topic, Art is for Everyone, will focus on the idea
that while most people will never be famous in the likes of Monet or Van
Gogh, anyone who wants to can enjoy painting and can be taught the
skills to create beautiful art. The meeting is free and open to the
public. Sharing slides of the first paintings of several of her adult
painting students she will talk about the joys of observing and
interpreting a scene by putting acrylic paint to canvas. As a retired RN
who has been painting for over 35 years, Harvey believes that painting
is fun, therapeutic and personally rewarding in ways most people cannot
imagine until they try it.
The artist
will return to the library two weeks later on January 28th to offer a
half-day painting workshop at 1pm during which participants will
complete a landscape painting in paint-along style, as she explains how
to achieve a sense of light, depth and realism using water-soluble
acrylic paint. Space is limited and all supplies are included in the $25
fee (due the day of the workshop.) Proceeds will benefit the library.
Pre-registration for the workshop is required either online at
oscarfoss.com or by calling 269-3900. Gerri Harvey is a member of the NH
Plein Air Painters, the The Westport (MA) Art Group, and is
President-Elect of the Lakes Region Art Association. Her paintings will
be on display in the library during the month of January. She maintains
a home art studio in Gilford and her work is available at VynnArt
Gallery in Meredith, the LRAA Gallery in Tilton and online at
gerriharveyart.com.

OUR CAN
TRAILER HAS A NEW HOME
The
Barnstead Boy and Cub Scouts would like to thank Shirley Stock for
allowing us to place our can trailer on her land in Barnstead Center
almost across the
street from the White Buffalo. We painted it this summer and had to do
some repairs, because some persons tore the back apart and we lost cans.
The trailer helps us pay for activities. Please donate aluminum cans by
putting them in the trailer. It is easier if they are put in without the
bags, if possible. Also, we only recycle aluminum cans. Thanks again to
Mrs. Stock and all of you for your continued support.
