We have an exciting show schedule planed this year at DaVallia. We are kicking the year off right with an exquisite show by Peter Batchelder February 3rd- March 14th. The subjects of Peter's painting are inspired by memories of places discovered during a lifetime living in, and exploring, rural New England. He is drawn to the seemingly ageless quality of barns and old England architecture. Much of his work is about editing the clutter that grows around these structures, as it is about painting the scene itself.Each work begins it's life as a drawing in charcoal,graphite or pastel- in which the composition is worked out. From there he starts painting, but as it progresses, the composition will likely continue to change.
Peter is influenced by the works of Edward Hopper, Wolf Kahn, Fairfield Porter,the Wyeths and how their use of light and color define subject and mood.
Please join us for the artist reception February 18th from 6-8PM. Enjoy a night of good art, creativity, food, and wine!
