Dropped in to see my friends and two small paintings of mine hung at the Acorn Gallery during the Marblehead Arts Festival on the Fourth of July weekend. The centerpiece of the summer show is a replica of Van Gogh’s Irises, painted on twenty individual canvas panels, each by a different Pre-Portfolio 2 student. All around that and in the rest of the space are paintings by adult student artists and owners Debra Freeman Highberger, Jack Highberger and Alexis Kereakoglow, all of which are priced crazy low for the holiday weekend sale. #bargains!
