Come see the evocative series of oil paintings of Sergi Farms by Adrienne Landry, on display in the lobby and reference room of the Library through October to celebrate One Book One Belmont.
The paintings capture the beauty of a working farm at different times of day and in different seasons. They portray buildings nestled among glowing fall trees and empty fields, a flower garden with pale yellow sunflowers, neat rows of beans, carrots and beets ripening in the sun. Also on display is an eight-foot panel of brilliantly-colored zinnias, dahlias, snapdragon, and sunflowers set against a turquoise background, all flowers that are grown at Sergi Farms.
Landry, a practicing artist who teaches art at Butler Elementary School, first exhibited the paintings in 1999 at Mass Audubon's Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary. A price list is available at the circulation desk.
Shown: A portion of "Flower Sampler" by Adrienne Landry, 11" x 96", oil on panel
