Hendersonville Library Exhibits

A premier artist and craftsman of the art league brought us his exquisite hand carved decoy ducks, a Canvasback Drake and a Bluebill Drake placed on the bottom shelf of the glass display case. On the top shelf of the display case, see a gorgeous hand-carved Lake Loon. It looks like it could swing away! All of them, meticulously created by our own Alec Hall. Add to that his masterly pastel paintings of several wild and domestic animals in their element grouped on the back wall of the Library for viewing. 

Next to Alec's work, both in the display case on the middle shelf, and on the back wall, are artwork and hand- carved crafts by John Anderson, a retired Architect. Over the years, John became a prolific painter and Wood Craftsman. In the display case on the second shelf, discover John's exquisite hand-turned, carved pens made from exotic wood and themed with special metal embellishments. Of course, observe the intricate, delicate carvings in the Celtic style, of ornate wooden spoons and a Celtic plaque, next to a small turtle in balsa wood. On the back wall of the Library next to Alec's paintings, peruse the beautiful watercolor paintings by John Anderson. His ability to capture still-life beauty with the finest details and highlights in texture on lace, glass and metal around object of interest will impress.

The wall closest to the Library entry door, to your right, past the 3-shelved display case hosts two dozen various paintings, in many mediums, sizes, and subject matter, with most reflecting the exhibit theme of "Vibrant Spring."  From tulips to more contemporary interpretations of spring-like subject matter, you will leave the show feeling uplifted and inspired. Come visit the Hendersonville Library Art Show. It runs through the end of June during regular Library hours.
