Join us on 3rd Friday Gallery Night December 20th and January 17 from 5-8pm for opening receptions and to meet the artists
In the MC Noyes Vermont Trees solo show, Michael Noyes, based in Bellows Falls, Vermont, presents paintings utilizing Japanese color pigments on Chinese paper depicting the dense New England forests in their changes of light and season. This series of artworks uses Xuan paper which is thin and very absorbent, immediately showing the quality of each brushstroke. Powdered pigments, some of varying grain sizes and available in many thousands of shades, are mixed with cow hide glue to make paint. Applied with brushes made of natural bristles ranging from soft to stiff, this type of paint and paper creates immediate and permanent brushstrokes.
