A Point of Time in Art

The Antoine Dutot Museum and Gallery* in Delaware Water Gap, PA held an Opening Reception featuring the work of Watercolor Artist John James on Friday July 24th. The show was well attended by a medium sized gathering who soon found themselves fortunate to have the opportunity to experience the fine art presented throughout the gallery. The nostalgic scenes depicted in the artist’s work brought a distant recollection to some while bringing a realization how much the local areas have changed throughout the years.

Not only was the technique of each painting stood to be admired, but each image upon the canvas had it’s own story to tell. Some of these stories came from family recollections of a bygone era while others were of a more historical nature with appropriate documentation. Regardless of their source, it was a pure delight to peruse the work and share in the conversations inspired by it.

The current Exhibition featuring the work of Watercolor Artist John James continues until August 9th. The next Opening Reception at The Antoine Dutot Museum and Gallery* will be on Friday August 14th beginning at 7pm featuring the work of Watercolor Artist Don Shoffner. That Exhibition will continue until August 30th. Please Explore The Antoine Dutot Museum and Gallery* Website for more information.
