There’s a sweet show up at Capitol Grounds in Montpelier, our local coffee joint.  The show features 12 framed works by watercolor artists Linda Maney.  Her work doesn’t stop with watercolor: these abstract compositions make use of bright color on paper that has bee torn, recomposed, and then complimented with kraypon strokes and acrylic.  A few take on representational characteristics, seeming to depict, for example in “Emma #2,” the exterior of a building – complete with perforations that look like doors and windows.

Most of the works are medium-sized, about 16″ x 11,” are nicely framed in brushed aluminum, and reasonably priced at about $150-$250.
