For the month of November Nelson Gallery on Washington Street will be featuring landscape paintings by Paisley Griffin. Her exhibition will be called “Pastorale” and expresses the artist’s appreciative feelings about the world in general, and the local landscape in particular. She says, “Even after living here for almost 30 years, the ever-changing natural loveliness of the Shenandoah Valley still seems as fresh and new to me as the first day I saw it.” Griffin studied art at Rhode Island School of Design and with Gene Davis at Corcoran Gallery School of Art in Washington, D.C. She earned a living for 30 years in the printing and publishing business as a designer and editor in the Washington area and was one of the founders of Nelson Gallery although she is no longer a member. The above painting is called “After A Summer Rain.”
