Ghetta Artful Mind Magazine November PR Article

This is my PR article from the November 2024 issue of the Artful Mind Magazine:

"End of the Day" 16" x 20" is a perfect Berkshires view for our month of November.  The sky is still clear and filled with light, the snow is only at the top of Mount Greylock, and the fields are providing us with an array of yummy colors. The dark green of the pines contrasts with the dried out pastels of our meadows and bushes. Our trees take on a purplish softness that will then stay in our view all Winter.  No wonder people label our landscape "purple mountains". 

Yes, we do have to be ready for the silence and peace that comes with this view. This is my favorite painting to face when I wish to meditate.  "End of the Day" will be exhibited from the 1st to the 30th of November at Gallery North, 9 Eagle Street in North Adams, MA.

The Opening for that exhibit will be on Friday, November 1st, 4-7. 

You are also welcome to visit my art studio in Williamstown by calling or texting 413-597 1716.

“Vermont Covered Bridge”
20” x 24” Oil on Canvas

When October comes around New England becomes a tourist heaven especially in the Berkshires and Vermont. Our changing foliage in the Fall is a visual and pastoral attraction, and roads will always lead you to one of these historical covered bridges. Why do we find covered bridges in New England people ask? They protect the bridge’s wooden structure from the weather condition and the snow in Winter. Wooden trusses would quickly deteriorate otherwise. Some of the covered bridges have lasted 100 years or more and painted regularly, they are quickly noticeable in the landscape. This one is in Arlington, Vermont. When you cross the bridge you find yourself in a small village with its own church, surrounded by lovely country houses and farmland. One of the houses was Norman Rockwell’s former residence when he lived in Vermont. I love the intricate framework just below the covering and in late afternoons, I often notice that the water below absorbs the red color of the bridge like a mirror image. I go there very often to sketch and when the leaves start falling, I will be there again! If you cannot go to Gallery North in North Adams, you can visit my studio by appointment. Call or text 413-597 1716. Also if you go to Williamstown you will see one of my Fall paintings at the Spring Street Cafe. That same painting is also represented in a banner in the streets of our town. If you live close to Pittsfield, I invite you to visit Becket Arts Center in Becket, MA. I have another Fall painting there in North Becket.
