“PLAYTIME”: This oil painting by Mary Lou Thomas is featured in “Art Overlook,” a group exhibition of works by students of Charles David Viera, on view November 7 through December 10 at the Flemington Free Public Library.

The Flemington Free Public Library and Readington Parks and Recreation presents “Art Overlook,” an exhibition featuring art by adult students studying painting with artist Charles David Viera at classes held at the Dobozynski Farm in Readington Township. The exhibition is on view November 7 through December 10, with  an opening reception on November 12 from 12 to 2 p.m.

“I think the public will enjoy this exhibition as it includes many paintings of local landscapes, portraits and a variety subjects interpreted in a number of diverse styles of easel painting,” said Viera. “Most of my students are women and men that are retired from the workforce or balancing jobs and family responsibilities. I think that demographic is a creative source that is sometimes overlooked and this exhibition will shine a spotlight on those artists. Many of the artists exhibiting are cultivating exhibitions in other venues and several were recently represented in exhibitions at the Ellarslie Museum, West Windsor Arts Council, and the Phillips’ Mill.”

Inez Bastido Kline, one of the artists in the exhibition, said, “I love the Dobozynski Farm Park for outdoor painting. No matter where you look there is something interesting to capture from any angle. Indoor painting is also a lot of fun. The still lives and other projects really pushed the envelope for me. I have been a student with Charles for years.“

The Flemington Free Public Library is located at 118 Main Street in Flemington. For more information, visit charlesdavidviera.com or readingtonrecreation.org.
