The work in this exhibition is selected from oil and watercolor paintings created by Professor Gary Niswonger during his sabbatical leave from the art department of Smith College, where he has taught painting, printmaking, design, and drawing since 1972. The locations depicted in these works, beyond the artist’s New England garden, vary from Barcelona to Ukiah, California. As Niswonger says: “As a painter of landscape I find myself confronting the seasons of the year. My interest is painting the landscape wherever I am. The weight of the air, the quality of the light are features that appeal to me most…..Painting is choosing—all sorts of choices. My paintings are not afraid to be clumsy. They come from being in the making.”
