Sensitive figure paintings from a trio of top local artists, Tom Maderos, Barbara 
Downs and Claire Thorson, will be on exhibition through October 29 starting First Friday at Michaelangelo Gallery.
The Artist’s Reception – Friday, October 1, 6-8:30pm – will be held at the gallery, 1111-A River Street.
Sharing studio sessions together, the three painters have evolved rich and varying perspectives on the same model subjects, and this show will offer a vivid glimpse into the differences that style, perspective and palette can make on a finished artwork.
Shown here: Amanda Seated, by Tom Maderas, mixed media on linen, 20 x 16 inches, 2009.
