The Gallery On Main in Windham is currently exhibiting the photographic works of William Deane, 1st Vice President on the GCCA WILLIAM DEANE AT THE GALLERY ON MAIN Board of Directors, through the month of May. Known to so many friends in Greene County as “Bill”, the artist is not only an ambassador to the Windham area, but a keen photographer who is always camera ready whether skiing one of Windham Mountain Resort snow covered slopes or on the other coast hiking along trails leading to the majestic Sierra Nevada’s. Bill spends a great deal of time photographing in the Catskills with his mission to capture the beauty of the wonderful softness of the terrain and the vibrant colors of the four seasons. Lighting plays such an important part in the success of his images as Bill looks for luminous conditions where colors and contrast are fi ltered and enhanced by the weather, time of day and shadows. For Deane, the idea is to minimize the amount of editing to achieve the desired results is kind of a throwback approach to the art of photography prior to the digital world. Bill is also fortunate to have family residing in southern California where the varied landscape provides dramatic photographic opportunities. Being proximate to a desired view allows the photographer to visit it many times and under many conditions to capture the ideal image. His show at the Gallery On Main features images taken of the Catskills and the Southwest while other works capture the details of beautiful fl owers he photographed on a recent trip to Hawaii. Visit with Bill and his wife, Helen, his biggest fan, at the opening reception on Saturday, May 28, 2016 from 5-7 PM. Gallery hours are Sierra Sunset at Lake Tahoe by William Deane, Color Photograph. Deane’s work is on display through May at the Friday and Saturday noon to 7 PM and Sunday noon to 4 PM.

A Slant of Light Judy Reynolds Solo Exhibit at C-GCC

A Slant of Light, a solo exhibition featuring paintings by Judy Reynolds, is on display in the Kaaterskill Gallery, located on the Columbia-Greene Community College campus, May 2 through June 30, 2016. Meet this artist who paints the landscape like no other artist at her opening reception on Monday, May 16 from 5 to 7 PM. Judy Reynolds has created landscapes and still life in either oil or pastel for over thirty years. As a native of the Hudson Valley, most of her work is centered upon the Hudson River, its surrounding mountains, fi elds, forests in early spring and late Fall. On occasion she draws inspiration from the dreamy marshlands of Maine. Her luminous sunsets, storm endings or foggy marshes, rich with the colors of the season, evoke a timelessness that emerges from a deep contemplation of the beauty of nature. More information about Judy Reynolds and her work may be found at www.jreynoldsstudio.com. Kaatersill Gallery hours in May are Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 8 PM, Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and Saturday from 1 to 5 PM. Closed on Sunday. Hours remain the same in June, except closed on Friday. Columbia-Greene Community College is located at 4400 Route 23in Hudson, N.Y. The Slant of Light by Judy Reynolds, oil, 24 x 30
