She calls her show “Puddles” because it’s spring and the work is almost all water color. “Puddles” will kick off the 2024 summer season at the gallery, following a busy year and a short break for spring cleanup.

Danforth is well known throughout the area for her evocative and luminous paintings of farms, animals and roadside scenes.

“Season’s greetings! A return to exuberance, little green things, little fly-y things and greedy, damp little animals,” Danforth wrote. “Welcome come-hither blooms and broody mamas and haunting remembrances written in paint. Watercolors, of course … it’s the wet season, juicy with possibility, sap and desire. So eat dessert first — little visual desserts!”

The show will open with a reception on Friday, May 3 from 5 to 7 p.m. and will run through June 2.
