More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.
We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute. |

Carole Ott and Barbara Joseph will exhibited at the North Adams Public Library - April 29, 2008
NORTH ADAMS – Paintings by Williamstown artists Carole Ott and Barbara Joseph will be exhibited at the North Adams Public Library throughout the month of May.
Joseph is a retired RN who has been painting in oils for nearly 10 years. She took classes at Williams College as well as private lessons. Most of her works are landscapes that experiment will color and the interplay of light and dark.
“In my work I hope to achieve something pleasurable to look at and am not concerned with illustrating any particular idea or message,” she says.
Ott has been drawing all her life, but did not really pursue painting until after her children were grown. Her current medium is water color. She has exhibited and received awards in both local and national shows. Having studied with Jack Flynn, she now is a member of the Academic Artist’s Association.
“My paintings are mostly created from my photographs,” she says, “which allow me to capture a fleeting moment of strong light and shadow, thereby creating abstract shapes for my … paintings.”
The artworks may be viewed any time the library is open: Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 to 8, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 to 5, and Saturdays from 9 to 1. The library is located at 74 Church St. in North Adams, right at the top of Main St. |
