A new exhibition celebrates Jane Scott
DAVID CITY * The Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art spotlights pastel paintings by Jane Scott this month. The exhibition, Mid America Impressions: Jane Scott Retrospective, includes pastel and oil paintings by Scott along with a few paintings by her mentor, Augustus Dunbier [1888-1977], who was a landscape painter. Scott's other artistic influences include Edgar Degas and Mary Cassatt. She paints en plein air, saying, "I have no interest in painting from a picture. There is no change of light, no life." No matter where she paints, she finds beauty in her surroundings. Scott's pastel landscape paintings evoke a sense of calmness and serenity. She uses a bright color palette to reflect what she sees in nature. "We work with pigment, not light. If you don't make everything brighter than it is, it won't sing," she says. Her paintings are on display until November 29. For more information: 402.367.4488 or www.bonecreek.org.
