“RITA’S DISHES”: This oil painting by Jeanne Chesterton is part of the 10th annual Points of View Art Show, on view August 23, 24, and 25 at the Saw Mill at Prallsville Mill in Stockton. An opening reception is on Friday, August 23 from 5 to 8 p.m.

The first Points of View Art Show was in September 2014. Ten years later, Jeanne Chesterton and Ilene Rubin will host their 10th Points of View Art Show beginning with a reception on August 23 from 5 to 8 p.m. The show continues Saturday, August 24 and Sunday, August 25 from 12 to 5 p.m. each day at the Saw Mill at Prallsville Mill, 33 Risler Street in Stockton.

Showcasing their art this year will be Chesterton and Rubin, along with artists Cheryl Bomba, Jill LeClair, Mike Mann, and Beth Schoenleber. All art is for sale.

Chesterton and Rubin have found that joining talent with location to exhibit and sell art has become successful and rewarding. The art complements each other while all are vastly different. All the artists are well known, award-winning, and bring a unique voice and interpretation to the visual art community.

There is something for everyone with little to no overlap of style or range. It’s a unique blend with a wide price range.

Chesterton creates still life paintings reminiscent of classic realism. She is especially drawn to common, everyday objects which bear the beauty marks of age and wear. The patinas of tarnished metals and discolored enamelware, worn surfaces and damaged edges are of special interest. Staging the tableau is important and often requires many changes in order to achieve visual harmony. The interplay of line, shapes, color, and pattern should suggest a dialogue among the principals, which in turn invites the viewer to participate.

Rubin is a self-taught, award-winning artist who works primarily in oils but also uses pastels, pencils, and watercolor in a painterly representational style. Influences range from Caravaggio to Monet and Corot, and she admits she has learned something revelatory from every artist who has preceded her and every teacher she’s had. She is most moved by the ever-changing landscape and captures each one in such a way that the viewer can step into it and spend moments immersed in a place filled with the environment that feels so familiar yet timeless.
