During the month of December, there will be a lovely display of paintings by artist Rob Franco installed in the Wotiz Gallery.   The exhibit will remain in place from December lst through the 28th.  This artwork will show images of many different subjects including the wild horses of Assateague Island in Maryland, landscapes from places like Martha’s Vineyard and Rockport, MA, ponds, oceans, sunrises, boats, birds, flowers, children, and much more.  Rob is a commercial artist,  a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, has worked at several local companies, and hails from Natick, MA.  He took second place in a 2014 juried show at the Art Complex Museum.  He and his wife Ruth are dedicated to the preservation of the wild horses of Assateague Island, where they visit frequently to photograph these fascinating animals for Rob to use as an inspiration for this work.  The couple gave a nice educational presentation at the Library on 11/13/18 about the horses, which included a film and some paintings and island artifacts on display as an introduction to the December exhibit, and this art talk was very well received by those who attended.  This is what Mr. Franco says about his paintings: “My passion for art began at an early age during visits to a neighborhood artist in Newport, RI.  This led to training as an illustrator in the United States Air Force and continued as a graphic artist in the Boston area.  After studying with renowned artist and teacher, Albert Handell, at drawing and pastel workshops in Woodstock, NY, the focus of my art was portraits of children and animals….a fascination with the ocean and other bodies of water continues to inspire my work.”   Please do not miss this beautiful display during December!

This month there will be a photography exhibit on display in the Wotiz Gallery by Quincy resident Barbara Newman. These beautiful color landscapes were mostly taken at night and cover a very wide geographic area, which includes many fascinating places around the world.  This is what the photographer says about her work: “As the world around us gets more crowded and noisy, I find myself drawn to photographing the beautiful and peaceful landscape that surrounds us.  Spending hours with my camera and tripod photographing the Northern Lights, Milky Way, or a sunrise, never ceases to inspire me.  I hope it does the same for those who come to see the photographs.”  Ms. Newman has also exhibited at the Thomas Crane Library in Quincy, at the Harvard Science Center Atrium in Cambridge, the Harvard Graduate School of Education in Cambridge, and more.  She has spent most of her life taking art classes, working with crafts and taking travel photographs.  She switched from Film to Digital photography and this transition really came together for her on a trip to Iceland to photograph the Northern Lights.  This was a magical experience and she wants to keep that feeling of magic alive.  She continues to take pictures also at National Parks like Arches National Park in Utah or the simplicity of the fog along the Oregon coast.  To see more of her work, go to her website: https://barbaranewman.smugmug.com/    There will be a free and open reception for this display on Thursday evening, January 17th from 6-8 PM in the Gallery where you can meet the artist and view her lovely work.

Tonight's Tuesday film pick, which will start promptly at 6:30,  is “Book Club” (c2018) which stars Candice Bergen, Mary Steenburgen, Jane Fonda and Diane Keaton.  Four lifelong friends’ lives are turned upside down to hilarious ends when their book club attempts to shake things up by tackling the infamous Fifty Shads of Grey.  From discovering new romance to rekindling old flames, they inspire each other to make their next chapter the best chapter.  This movie also stars Andy Garcia, Don Johnson, Craig T. Nelson and Richard Dreyfuss.  “This dream cast delivers the perfect, fun, feel-good film!”  It is rated PG-13 for “sex-related material throughout, and for language” so is not appropriate for children under 13.  The running time is 103 minutes. This program is kindly sponsored by the Friends of the Milton Public Library.

Milton author Kevin Walsh will give a talk this evening about his new book called 57 Balloons.  His story happened in 1984 when he was 24 years old.  At the time, he was a licensed parachute rigger who fastened himself to 57 helium-filled balloons and soared one mile into the sky at dawn on New Year’s Day.  He says he took the unusual flight to celebrate his gratitude for living in a free world.  He went aloft at Minuteman Airfield in Stow, MA to call attention to the positive aspects of living in 1984 – a year described in foreboding terms in George Orwell’s novel by the same name.

Walsh said he and 9 friends stayed up all night that New Year’s Eve, attaching the nine tiers of five to seven helium-filled water balloons to create the craft.  Walsh, who graduated from Boston College High School and Bowdoin College with a major in Spanish, said he had two messages to deliver.  One was that life is not as dismal as in Orwell’s famous book and the other is that we hope it doesn’t get that way.  There was a Federal Aviation Administration investigation which followed, but instead of telling you the whole story, we will let Mr. Walsh do so!  Please come and join us at this fascinating program, where his books will also be available for sale.  This event is kindly sponsored by the Friends of the Milton Public Library and is appropriate for all ages.

During the month of February, Milton resident and talented painter Donna Elliott will exhibit her colorful and very cool paintings in the Wotiz Gallery.  She is a self-taught artist and her work is quite unusual and unique, modern and graphical, with bold and vibrant hues.  This is what she says about her paintings: "Painting takes me away from the every day....and helps me to see and share the beauty of who we are and why we are here.  I am spirtually connected to my creator, with true passion for life and humanity.  My paintings are motivating, inspiring, spiritually reviving, relaxing and fun.  Each [piece] with brilliant bold colors tells its own story.  Within each painting, the viewer can see hidden stories, objects, and faces from different angles...   This is my Divine Expression."  More details will follow here soon about this lovely display, so please check back after the New Year.

Library Director Will Adamczyk will hold his "Eclectic Book Group" this evening.  The book to be read in advance is Only Killers and Thieves by Paul Howarth (c2018).   An epic tale of revenge and survival, this work of fiction is a gripping and utterly transporting debut, bringing to vivid life a colonial Australia that bears a striking resemblance to the American Wild West in its formative years.  It is 1885 and a crippling drought threatens to ruin the McBride family.  Their land is parched, their cattle starving.  When the rain finally comes, it is a miracle that renews their hope for survival.  But returning home from an afternoon swimming at a remote waterhole filled by the downpour, 14-year-old Tommy and 16-year-old Billy meet with a shocking tragedy.  Thirsting for vengeance against the man they believe has wronged them - their former Aboriginal stockman - the distraught brothers turn to the ruthless and cunning John Sullivan, the wealthiest landowner in the region and their father's former employer.  Two brothers are exposed to the brutal realities of life and the seductive cruelty of power in a riveting debut novel - a story of savagery and race, injustice and honor/  It is reminiscent of Philipp Meyer's The Son and the novels of Cormac McCarthy.  Please join Will for an interesting discussion about a hard-to-put-down read.  This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Milton Public Library.
