The John D. Barrow Art Gallery will have a few more paintings to display. Several pieces of art in the permanent collection were restored and are now up for view.
The Skaneateles Library Association donated the funds to restore “Tree and Cow Landscape.” The landscape is in honor of Meg O'Connell, former president of the association and director.
The Management Committee of the gallery took on the task of paying to restore two paintings. “View Looking South from the Indian Reservation” was taken out of the display for 30 years because of its poor condition. After the committee took on this painting as a cause, it was returned to a condition that will allow the gallery to exhibit it in the gallery, 49 E. Genesee St., Skaneateles. Committee members did this to honor supporters Fran Milford and Gwen Birchenough.
Also, the committee honored gallery supporters Ginnie Thorne, Margaret Chase and Sally Holben. It restored “Study of Trees,” which displays three elm trees.
Meanwhile, other supporters choose to honor their loved ones by funding the restoration of a painting in their names. The family of Joan Howland restored the piece “Head of Skaneateles Lake” in honor of her birthday. Howland serves as a docent volunteer for the gallery. Also, Don Babcock had the painting “Skaneateles Lake and Guideboat” restored in his wife, Eleanor's honor. The gallery will remain open from 1 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays during the summer.
