Autumn Berry Bushes
Autumn Berry Bushes
Maryann Amodeo
$500.00


Artist statement: I enjoy capturing the image of multicolored leaves and branches. My goal is evoke the feeling of viewing the sky through a curtain of greenery, with the sunshine filtering through. The berries bring a feeling of autumn.
Specific medium: acrylic on canvas
Among the Birches
Among the Birches
Maryann Amodeo
$700.00


Artist statement: In working on this composition, I tried to paint more freely than I have at times in the past. I allowed some shapes to remain ambiguous so that viewers could see whatever they wished. A goal was to create a sense of motion and activity.
Specific medium: acrylic on canvas
Lively Day
Lively Day
Maryann Amodeo
$500.00


Artist statement: My purpose here was the balance of color. I especially like the pairing of turquoise and yellow, along with red, with hints of chartreuse peeking through. The bars provide reference for the movement of color.
Specific medium: acrylic on canvas
Reflections
Reflections
Maryann Amodeo
$1,000.00


Artist statement: I’ve been intrigued by reflections and the various forms they take depending on their surroundings. It takes patience to represent them accurately. Doing this was challenging because I had painted the trees from my imagination. Deciding where to place the reflections and how much to detail them was a dilemma, until I let my imagination take over again.
Specific medium: acrylic on canvas
Dance with Me
Dance with Me
Maryann Amodeo
$400.00


Artist statement: I like working with geometric shapes. In this painting, I used more varied colors than I’ve used in the past which required more focus on creating balance. Each time I changed a shape or color, I had to move or change several others so the painting would remain stable. It felt like trying to complete a jigsaw puzzle when the pieces keep moving around. $400
Specific medium: acrylic on canvas
Garden Angel I
Garden Angel I
Christine Anderson
$95.00


Artist statement: I’ve always enjoyed drawing in any medium as well as crafts. Over the past few years, I have been exploring hammered flowers on textiles and paper. I refer to them as “natural revelations” as they are more often than not unpredictable – very much the way of life!

Ghost in the Shell
Ghost in the Shell
John Andonian
$499.99


Artist statement: Sometimes the perfect shot is at your feet. Right at the very moment that the sun was rising above the waves, I happened to notice the ethereal glow on a great seashell as the sun's first light hit it. Mixing with the ocean surf.

Artist statement: This was one of the shots that just "happened" and I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time to capture it.

$499.99


Artist statement: Aurora Borealis makes a trip down south to New England. One of the largest solar storms in recent decades resulted in a nearly worldwide light show that is usually reserved for the high latitudes of our planet. This was taken on the shore of a pond near Wachusett Mountain.

Total Eclipse 4-8-24
John Andonian
$499.00


Artist statement: This was the greatest thing I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. I had this date marked in my mental calendar over 40 years ago. There were months of preparations and so month stress on the day just trying to get to that "perfect" spot which wound up being JACKMAN, ME. No words, photo, or video can truly capture this moment. You really had to be there, but this was the best interpretation of it that I could do.
Final Family Photo
Final Family Photo
John Andonian
$499.99


Artist statement: My mother battled Dementia for years. Our family supported and cared for her for the entirety of it. I think she would have been proud of all the care we provided her. Ultimately the ending is the same for all who fight this fight. This photo was a collaboration between my sister and myself. Just as she was taking her final breath, we brought all our hands in with hers for a final embrace. I think this might be the most powerful photo I have been a part of.

Steven Arcone
$950.00


Artist statement: As a retired glaciologist I enjoy macro photographing crystal formations on small ponds, and their decay into different forms. I seek to merge complex science and art. The thin ice allows the colorful fall debris beneath to provide background color to the blue and silvery crystals, and crystal metamorphism and capillary fringes where meltwater meets ice constantly provide new forms. My work abstracts larger physical processes across small ponds and in turn, often appears abstract.
Specific medium: Ink infused into aluminum plate
