Walpole High at the Gallery

The students of Walpole High are exhibiting at the gallery the weekend of January 27-29. Next weekend, Franklin High School students will exhibit.

Local High School Artists To Be Featured

The Artist's Studio & Gallery at Patriot Place will proudly feature the work of young artists from six nearby high schools this winter. The different high school students will each get one weekend to display their artwork. The schedule is as follows:
Jan. 20-22 Medfield High School
Jan. 27-29 Walpole High School
Feb. 3-5 Franklin High School
Feb. 10-12 Foxboro High School
Feb. 17-19 Norton High School
Feb. 24-26 Xaverian Bros. High School
The students will share the Gallery space with six permanent artists who, along with the students, will continue to keep the art work fresh and vibrant each weekend all winter long.

Portraits by Dianne Panarelli Miller

Pictured above are photos of 2 double portraits which Dianne Panarelli Miller painted Saturday at the Artist's Studio & Gallery at Patriot Place. And it only took her about an hour for each one! It is truly amazing to watch how quickly she can capture a likeness.

Portrait Sketch for $100 Saturday

This Saturday, Dec. 10, Copley artist Dianne Panarelli Miller will paint half-hour portrait sketches for $100 at the Artist's Studio & Gallery at Patriot Place. Dianne is an exceptional portrait painter with 35 years of experience. A portrait would make a unique Christmas gift for someone you love. Dianne is already scheduled to paint four portraits from 11am to 1pm, so if you think you might be interested -- or even if you are not -- drop by the gallery Saturday and see a real pro create magic with oil paint and brushes.

Portrait Workshop Big Hit

On Saturday, Dec. 3, Copley artist Dianne Panarelli Miller taught a portrait workshop at the Patriot Place Gallery to six members of the Foxboro Art Association as onlookers streamed through the Gallery. The model was the beautiful Joanne Sylvia, pictured above, who somehow managed to keep a straight face most of the day while students and teacher exchanged witty conversation. Meanwhile curious visitors wandered through the gallery, looking over the painters shoulders in awe of seeing real painters paint live. There was lots of unsolicited praise from members of the public -- so much so that we might have to do it again. Speaking of which, Dianne Panarelli Miller will return next Saturday, Dec. 10, to paint half-hour portrait sketches for $100. And even if you don't want to have your portrait painted, you are invited to come and watch a real pro in action. She will begin at 11 am and end sometime that afternoon. The three guest artists this weekend will be Marilyn Healey, Brenda Doucette and Remya Suraj.

Weekend of Dec. 2-4

This weekend's Guest Artists are painters Linda Hafey and Remya Suraj and sculptor Steve Gaul. In additon, this Saturday, Dec. 3, Copley artist Dianne Panarelli Miller will conduct a live workshop in portrait painting at the gallery for six lucky artists. But everyone else is invited to drop by and check out the event.
On the following day, Sunday, The Patriots are scheduled to severely trounce the Indianopolis Colts. So if you plan to visit the gallery this weekend, you may want to do it Friday or Saturday.
On the following Saturday, Dec. 10, Dianne Panarelli Miller will appear in encore and paint half-hour portaraits for $100. What a great Christmas present idea! Anyone interested in having a portrait done should arrive at the gallery by 1 pm. And even if you don't want a portrait, you can still drop by and observe how she manages to accomplish this seemingly impossible task. We are located 2 doors down from Dunkin Donuts and our hours are Friday 5-9, Saturday 1-9, (the workshop will be 10-3), and Sunday 11-6 (depending on the football traffic -- if there is a game that day).

Black Friday Sale

Everything now at the Art Gallery will be sold at a 15% discount for one day only, 8 am to 5 pm on Black Friday -- the day after Thanksgiving.
