Short Subjects July 7, 2005 Landscapes and locals by Hermine Hull Hermine Merel Smith Fine Art will have an opening reception this Sunday, July 10, 4 to 7 pm, at 548 Edgartown Rd., West Tisbury. Painter/owner Hermine Smith Hull will exhibit her oil paintings of Island landscapes and local people. “The paintings are a diary of my life, my friends visiting the studio, my views from house and studio windows, where I walk or drive during the day,” said the artist. Kent shows landscapes with a twist Painter Doug Kent opens a show of his new landscapes Wednesday, July 13, 4 to 8 pm, at his West Tisbury gallery on Indian Hill Road, just past Christiantown Road. In 30 years of living and painting here, Kent has assimilated the Vineyard landscape. But images foreign to that landscape appear in his work, creating a fascinating ambiguity among what is seen, felt, imagined, and real. The paintings are populated with animals standing witness against backgrounds of color. Food for eye and thought. Inspiration at Cottagers’ Corner “Women Doing Inspiring Work Internationally” is the theme Tuesday, July 12, at the Cottagers’ Corner in Oak Bluffs when Catherine Murphy shows an excerpt from her documentary about Cuban women working in a literacy campaign on that Island. Ms. Murphy has lived in Cuba for 15 years and lectures internationally about her “greening and gardening” work in Cuba, Venezuela, and India. Ms. Murphy and organizer Becca Prager will also speak about and honor their friend, Marla Ruzicka, who was killed in Iraq doing humanitarian aid work. Island girl celebrates first novel Island native May V. Oskan has published her first novel, “Becoming the Crane,” a fantasy novel combining classical and contemporary styles to suit readers of all ages. A book release party will take place Wednesday, July 13, at the Arts District Exchange, 116 Dukes County Ave., in Oak Bluffs. May will be on hand for a book signing while her sister, Nina Violet, will provide live music. For more information, call 508-693-4219. Sea Struck The Martha’s Vineyard Historical Society presents author Bill Bunting in an illustrated talk on his award-winning book “Sea Struck” on Friday, July 8, at the Grange Hall. David McCullough said of the book, “If I’m any judge, this marvelous book should be hailed as an instant classic.” The book is based in part on a 1903 journal by Tod Swift and is part of the historical society’s collection. “Sea Struck” has received the John Lyman Book Award for published source materials, given by the North American Society for Oceanic History, and the John Gardner Research Award from the G.W. Blunt White Library of Mystic Seaport. Join Mr. Bunting on Friday, July 8, at 7:30 pm at the Grange Hall in West Tisbury. |
