Your attendance will help ensure a strong future for The Gables.

This year, I have donated my original painting, H7G Roof, acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas, 6″ x 6″ x 1.5″. It was painted en plein air in the lovely House of the Seven Gables lovely sea-side garden. I love to paint there, and have done so many times. This time it was fun to find a very different perspective of the H7G! The painting will be part of the Silent Auction.H

The dress code is cocktail. We invite you to have fun and dress in colors of the sea (blues, greens, sand colors, and perhaps even sea-themed prints!).

Tickets are $110 each for Gables members, and $130 each for nonmembers.DIGITAL PROGRAM

The Marblehead Arts Association Winter Members’ Exhibit will be on display from the opening reception on November 10 through December 23, 2018. The show is hung at the MAA’s Hooper Mansion, 8 Hooper St., Marblehead, MA.

My acrylic painting, House of the Seven Gables Front Door, is my entry in this show. It was painted outside in the gardens of the H7G on an absolutely gorgeous May morning. The shadows were very pronounced at that time of day, and I was inspired by the series of strong diagonal shadows falling across the front of the house, caused by the sun hitting the slanted gables.

Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday & Sunday, noon-5 pm and Saturday, 10-5 pm. Closed Monday. Tel: (781) 631-2608.
