The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston will open a special exhibit of Dutch masterpieces beginning October 11. So there will be two free lectures in the Walpole Library associated with this exhibition.
Noted docent Beth Knaus will first present "the Northern Renaissance" on Thursday evening, Oct. 15, at 7 o'clock. Then two weeks later, Thursday evening, Oct. 29, she will discuss the art and struggles of the two most famous Dutch painters, Rembrandt and Vermeer. Both lectures start at 7 pm, include examples of some of the art, and are free and open to the public.

Chris Coyne Demo
The Art Association met on September 9 for the first meeting of the (school) year at the Boyden Library in Foxboro. Members, as well as some others, watched Chris Coyne from Rockport demonstrate how he paints watercolors. As shown below, in less than 2 hours, he drew out and painted a large watercolor from a picture he had taken of Vermont farm. Chris maintains a gallery in Rockport and offers classes and workshops.

Meeting Sep. 9
Just a reminder that our first meeting of the school year is Wednesday, September 9, at 7 pm. (Plan to come early and hob-nob with the glitterati -- even non-members because the public is invited for free.) Chris Coyne, a terrific watercolorist, will demonstrate his painting techniques at the meeting.
