"Pastels" by Skip Motes at the Firehouse Center for the Arts

Pastels by Skip Motes is on view Wednesdays through Sundays until January 26 .For twenty years Motes has painted marsh and seacoast landscapes of the North Shore of Massachusetts.  His paintings capture the light and color found in the landscape but his pictures of places and objects express something close to an abstraction of the color and line and rhythms we see.
