SUMMARY:Featured Artist - Ryan Black
DESCRIPTION:Artist Ryan Black works out of his South Natick-based studio.  His art features representational oil paintings along with some printmaking and drawing. While Ryan’s work portrays a range of subjects\, recently he is most associated with his atmospheric cityscapes\, mainly featuring Boston.  Ryan’s work will be on display at the BFL from December 15th to February 7th. \n \n\n\nRyan’s art\, in his own words: \nI love talking about art. I love jargon\, references\, challenging viewpoints and deciphering meaning in other artist’s compositions. But artists shouldn’t talk about or attempt to explain their own work because\, to paraphrase Francis Bacon\, explanation doesn’t deepen the mystery. \nEverything to know about my paintings is either there on the canvas\, or it isn’t. Spelling it out will not make it better\, just like a joke isn’t funny if you have to explain it. \nI’m not saying my artwork has some deeper meaning. I’m saying all good art refers and reflects back\, creating its time and place in the world. Bringing something to the table\, as far as a basic understanding of aesthetics and art history\, will always make experiencing artwork more immersive and enjoyable. Its meaning isn’t hidden\, just very few people go looking for it. \nI try to make good art. Hopefully it’s there on the canvas.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists - Carol Keefe & Bobby Reeve
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit pairs the lush ocean landscapes of Carol Keefe with the true-to-life bird sculptures of Bobby Reeve.  Visit the BFL to enjoy this nature-themed exhibit\, and come to meet the artists during our opening reception on Tuesday\, February 13th at 5:30pm. \n  \nCarol Keefe\nCarol Keefe is a long-term artist member of the Artist Association of Nantucket (AAN)\,  and is represented at their gallery.  She has had several Featured Artist shows there and won Best of Show in the AAN Gallery in 2007.  In 2014\, Carol was honored with the 2014 Painting Award from the AAN.  Carol has studied at both the Decordova and Danforth Museum Schools\, as well as with Sherre Wilson Ray and Sandra Flavin.   Carol’s work is displayed at Brown Basket Gallery on South Wharf\, the Nantucket Looms\, The Sherborn Inn\, Natick Artist Open Studios\, and numerous private collections\, as well as in her home studio near Cisco Beach and South Natick. \nCarol’s art\, in her own words: \nI am inspired by the ever-changing light and color at the horizon. My medium of choice is oil on board or canvas. My paintings are often large\, horizontal pieces emphasizing the meeting of sky and sea on Nantucket Island. My goal is to capture the feelings of summer on our coast. \n  \nBobby Reeve\nFor over 50 years\, Bobby Reeve has been a woodworker in New Hampshire and Massachusetts doing house carpentry and running a one-man shop for furniture making and bird carvings. Both his parents were watercolorists and he started painting with their mentor\, Harold Stevenson\, many years ago. \nBobby’s art\, in his own words: \nI always wanted to fly\, and I don’t mean in a plane! Somehow this explains my love of birds — their flight\, colors\, shapes\, songs\, and behaviors. I love the idea of a “bird’s eye view” and carving and sculpting almost get me there.
