By Telly Halkias For local watercolorist Tony

Conner, painting was a hobby since elementary school.

Yet he missed out on formal art education in college. So he ventured forth to learn on his own, beginning a process of self-study that continues to this day. While a corporate sales and mar-keting executive, Conner began to carve out time years ago to set about the task of becoming a full-time artist.

Conner dedicated a few hours before work and at the end of the day to study and paint. After relocating several times, in 1989 he settled in Bennington and commuted to Albany, New York daily for work. Just two years later, he landed his first entry to a juried art show.

Finally, in 2003, Conner accepted an early retirement package. Leaving the corporate world, he dedicated himself full-time to his painting. But perhaps Conner’s most telling transfor-mation as an artist is personal. Over time he’s learned to exit his cocoon of rigor and discipline, a proven method which trans-forms his inspiration into art.

“My drive for technical perfec-tion, which is one of my strengths and a carryover from my busi-ness years, was also my down-fall at times,” Conner said. “I was

From Corporate to Watercolors

harshly self-critical of my work, often causing extended periods of creative block.”

“But after I started receiving feedback from folks who saw my art, and from those who bought the paintings, I was humbled to learn what powerful emotions art invokes from the man-in-the-street,” he said.

“In the end, most people appre-ciate beauty over brushstroke.”

■ Telly’s TAKE ■


From my Corner — by Susan J. Coons ...way to go...Last Tuesday afternoon I returned from Naples, Florida, after spend-

ing eight days in the sand, sun and water. I stayed with my son who prepared several gourmet dinners, such as pan-seared sesame seed tuna steak with creamy ginger sauce, stir-fried vegetables julienne, brown fried rice, and a dessert with brandied seared bananas over vanilla ice cream. What scrumptious delights!

I met a spiritual Zen healer (a friend of my son) who teaches Zen and acupressure and has a practice that reaches across the country. From just a 20 minute observation of me as I interacted with him, his wife and

my son, he was able to tell me things about myself regarding my health, outlook, sleep habits and more. It’s very difficult to describe what he does, but I’ve felt relaxed since his acupressure treatment. I need to practice what I learned now that I’m home and in my old routine (which I’m try-ing to break).

We always take one trip to the Lani Kai in Fort Myers, which is probably the seediest hotel on the west coast of Florida. So seedy that it’s campy. Bathrooms are filthy. Never use them. The drinks are good and so are the hot dogs! This time we had lunch on the top deck. It was actually nice up there. Still a seedy bar, but we ate outside and it was nice. It was another experience to remember and I’m certain we’ll do it again. If any of you have experienced the Lani Kai, let’s talk! It’s now a hot place for spring break.

John’s phone never stopped ringing. He takes and makes his business calls while he’s lounging at the beach! What a life! Which brings up something I’ve been pondering...

I’m trying to find a way to convince my boss that I can work on the papers as easily from Naples, Florida as Bennington and Manchester, Vermont! I was thinking February and March. What do you think?? I would be able to keep you up to date on the warm weather, water tem-perature, latest golf and tennis results at the various country clubs, and a little of the night life at Harold’s, Dirty Larry’s or The Real McCaw.

I’ll have to work on this...

Examine artistic and architectural accomplish-ments witnessed in Rome through the grand patron-age of legendary popes during the next “When in Rome” lecture on Thursday, November 5 at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. The lecture series, led by Clark staff, is a complement to the fall exhibition “Steps off the Beaten Path: Nineteenth-Century Photographs of Rome and Its Environs.” Registration is not required but can be made by calling 413-458 0489. Cost is $8 per class ($5 for members and free of charge for college students). Lectures are held on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m.

The Eternal City endured in the centuries follow-ing the collapse of the Roman Empire and flour-ished from the Renaissance until the establishment of the Italian state in the late nineteenth century, all under the leadership of the papacy. Assistant deputy director Tom Loughman will examine the patron-age of Julius II delle Rovere and Clement VII Medici (sponsors of Michelangelo, Raphael, and Bramante) as well as Urban VIII Barberini and Innocent X Pamphilj (patrons of Bernini, Borromini, and Velazquez). He will also discuss the influence of lesser-known popes who were behind new monu-ments such as the Trevi Fountain and the restora-

tion of ancient ones including the Colosseum. The remaining lecture in the series features

“Rome: The Foreign Academies” on November 12 with Richard Rand, senior curator and curator of paintings and sculpture.

Technical innovations, artistic daring, and shift-ing socio-political circumstances led to a dramatic change in the photography of Rome in the late nine-teenth century. Photographers of the Eternal City began to capture everyday scenes alongside ancient ruins, Baroque churches, and back-streets, all of which industrialization was rapidly transforming.

Through the 100 images in “Steps off the Beaten Path,” viewers today can step into a Rome that was about to step out of the pre-industrial age.

The exhibition is on view at the Clark through January 3, 2010. The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts.

The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (open daily in July and August). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, mem-bers, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit clarkart.edu.

Arlington Area Childcare recently received grants from the Vermont Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts, LEGO Children’s Fund and the Stratton Foundation to fund a year-long residency, “Art and Sculpture in the Natural Environment.” Kim Ray will work with the infants through preschoolers at Happy Days Playschool, while the school-age program at Happy Days hosts James Florschutz in a resi-dency of the same type.

In the residency with Kim Ray, nature and the environment will become the focus for creating sculptures and will complement the out-door classroom experiences provided for all of the children at Happy Days. Kim will visit the center from the fall of 2009 through the sum-mer of 2010 during each of the four seasons. She will build on the works of British sculptor, Andy Goldsworthy, using flowers, rocks, leaves, mud, pine cones, icicles, twigs, snow, water, trees and other natural materials.

James Florschutz uses wood and stone often combined with other materials, both natural and man-made to create sculptures that relate to a specific site or location. He will be working with the school-age stu-dents at Happy Days Playschool in the summer of 2010. His residency will also complement the outdoor classroom activities that are provided by the school-age teachers.

Student’s artwork or photographs of the work created through their explorations with nature art and sculpture will be on display at the Canfield Library Gallery located at Martha Canfield Library in Arlington during the month of February 2010. For more information about Happy Days Playschool or its programs, please call 802-375-6039.

On Saturday the Bennington Center for the Arts welcomed artists from around the country to a reception for the Laumeister Fine Art Competition.

Awards are Announced for the National Fine Art Competition in Bennington

The fine art show, which opened in mid-September, was juried by nationally renowned artist Albert Handell. A few hun-dred submissions were consid-ered, with the artist deeming just over sixty appropriate for the show. During Handell’s recent trip to Vermont from his home in New Mexico he was able to select the award winners in person. “We have been so appreciative of Mr. Handell’s involvement in this competition. He is such a high-ly-respected artist - having him come and choose the award win-ners in person was very impor-tant to all of us,” said Gallery Director Shirley Hutchins.

The recipient of the first place Award and $4,000 was New York state artist James Coe. Mr. Handell was looking not only for technical excellence and great composition, but for work that captured the feel and atmosphere of the place or scene and he felt that Coe’s piece did this. Actually, two of Coe’s pieces were award winners with his painting “The Yellow Farm House” receiving third honorable mention. A figu-rative painting entitled “Charles” by Paula Holland received Second Place and $2,000 and a colored pencil piece, “Hay Wagon”, by Douglas Gillette of Connecticut won third place and $1,000.

When show details were decided upon these three awards were the only ones that were to be selected. After seeing the show Mr. Handell felt more artwork was deserving of special recogni-tion and so it was decided that four additional pieces would be awarded honorable mention awards: first honorable mention, Marjery Jennings for “Into the Wild”; second, Peter Seltzer, “The Colors of Culture”; third, James Coe, “The Yellow Farm House”; fourth, Cindy House for “Spring Stream”. All award winners can be seen online at www.benning-toncenterforthearts.org.

“The Color of Culture” by Peter Seltzer

Mayor James M. Ruberto announced today that the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council has certified the City of Pittsfield as a BioReady Community. Through cooperation with the Department of Community Development and the Pittsfield Economic Development Authority, the city has met multiple criteria in order to receive a Gold Rating from the Massachusetts Biotechnological Council.

“This certification is an endorsement of the accomplishments of PEDA in bringing several parcels to shovel ready status as well as recognition that the city is open for business and has the assets biotech-nology companies are looking for when siting new businesses in the Commonwealth,” said Mayor Ruberto.

Along with Pittsfield, both Fitchburg and Leominster received a Gold Rating at the BioReady Gateway Cities in Boston, bringing the total

BioReady Communities achieving a Gold Rating to an even dozen. Some criteria that cities and towns must meet to be certified are: a desig-nated priority development site which is pre-permitted for biotechnol-ogy development, streamlined permitting practices – including con-vening inter-departmental coordination meetings prior to or during the local permitting process, zoning which allows biotech companies to develop by right, and adequate existing water and sewer infrastructure serving available commercial and industrial properties.

For more information about the Mass Biotechnology Council rating, please contact Peter Abair, Director of Economic Development at the Mass Biotechnology Council, 617-674-5100, for information about this designation visit www.massbio.org

Snowmobile Safety Course

On Saturday, December 5, the Grafton Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club and the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation will host a snowmobile safety course for young people ages 10 to 18. Students must be at least 10 years old on the day of the course. Parents are encouraged to attend and participate. The course will be held at the Grafton VFW Hall on South Road from 8:15 a.m. to approximately 5 p.m. The course will cover topics such as NYS laws and regulations, riding skills, trail emergencies, protecting the environment, maintenance and repair, trailering, etc. To register, call the Grafton Lakes State Park office at 518-279-1155 or e-mail [email protected], with the student’s name and age, their guardian’s name, and phone number.

On Wednesday, November 4, the Center for Ecological Technology (CET) will offer a Solar Energy for Your Home or Business seminar from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield. Chris Vreeland, a registered professional engineer, will be the featured speaker. Registration is required and a donation of $10 is suggested. BerkShares are accepted.

Interest in solar hot water and solar electric (photovoltaic) sys-tems for homes, farms, schools and businesses in the Berkshires continues to grow, due to volatile fuel prices and concern about the effects of fossil fuels on our health and environment. Grants and tax incentives are available to help offset the cost of investing in solar energy and other renewable technologies.

This seminar is designed to help homeowners and businesses determine if a solar installation

would be a good fit for their situ-ation. Attendees will learn the basics about how solar hot water and solar photovoltaic systems work, the components of a solar energy system, how to deter-mine what size system is needed, whether they have a good site and how to gain additional ben-efits through energy efficiency improvements. Vreeland will also provide information on finan-cial incentives available from Massachusetts and the federal government.

For more information or to register for this seminar, contact CET at 413-445-4556 ext. 25, or [email protected].

CET is supported in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. This workshop is made possible through grant funding from Western Massachusetts Electric Company (WMECO), the Sohn Foundation, Energy Federation Inc., and the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative.

French Language Courses

Misty Valley Books in Chester, Vermont, will again offer two lev-els of French classes beginning the week of November 9.

The Learn French courses will run for six weeks, Level II on Mondays, beginning November 9, and Level I on Tuesdays, begin-ning November 10. Both courses are open to students high school age and older and will meet in the bookstore from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Instructor for the courses is Bill Reed, co-proprietor with his wife, Lynne, of Misty Valley Books, on the Chester Green next to the Fullerton Inn. A grad-uate of Yale University, he has taught in Africa, France and, for more than 35 years, in public and private schools and colleges in Vermont.

Both courses will rely on films, games and songs in an approach that is lighthearted and conver-sational. Over 200 students in small groups (class size is lim-ited) have taken the courses in the past two years.

The fee for the course for the six sessions includes materials. Please register by calling Misty Valley Books at 802-875-3400 or e-mailing [email protected].

The Colonial Theatre Presents ‘Seussical’The Colonial will present “Seussical,” a musical based on the works of

Dr. Seuss, on Sunday, November 8, at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Tickets for the performance are $15 and can be purchased in person at the Colonial Ticket Office at 111 South Street, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-5 p.m, performance Saturdays 10 a.m.-2 p.m., by calling 413-997-4444 or online at www.TheColonialTheatre.org.

“Oh, the thinks you can think” when Dr. Seuss’s best-loved stories collide and cavort in an unforgettable musical caper! Adapted from the Broadway version, “Seussical” is written by Broadway veterans Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (“Ragtime,” “Once on This Island,” the film “Anastasia”). This production features 12 actors and enhanced produc-tion values and is Theatreworks’ biggest show ever.

The Cat in the Hat is the host and emcee (and all-around mischief-maker) in this romp through the Seuss classics. When the sweet, good-natured elephant Horton hears a small cry for help coming from a small speck of dust, he promises to rescue and guard it because “a person’s a person, no matter how small.”

On that small speck of dust lives JoJo, an imaginative young Who. JoJo has astounding “thinks,” in which anything’s possible, but his parents believe this creativity is inappropriate for the son of the Mayor of Who-Ville.

Meanwhile, the one-feathered bird, Miss Gertrude McFuzz, desper-ately wants Horton to notice her. Maybe, she thinks, she just needs a more impressive tail. At the same time, the amazingly lazy Mayzie La Bird connives, cajoles and convinces Horton to sit on her egg while she goes off on a spree.

Will the planet of Who survive? Will Horton pay attention to

Gertrude? Will Mayzie ever return for her egg? Dr. Seuss’s beloved classic characters find themselves intertwined in an incredible crazy-quilt adventure, in which the power of imagination and the most miraculous “think” ever save the day!

“Seussical,” with music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, book by Ahrens and Flaherty, and conception by Ahrens, Flaherty and Eric Idle (Monty Python), was adapted from the works of Dr. Seuss. Ahrens and Flaherty’s first professional job together was writing “The Emperor’s New Clothes” for Theatreworks USA in the early 80’s. The production is directed and choreographed by Marcia Milgrom Dodge. The scenic design is by Narelle Sissons and the costume design is by Tracy Christensen. This production is recommended for audiences age 4 and up.

Theatreworks USA is America’s largest and most prolific professional not-for-profit theatre for young and family audiences. Since 1961, Theatreworks USA has enlightened, entertained, and instructed over 68 million people in 49 states and Canada, now performing for about four million people annually.

■ WEEKLY ALMANAC ■

Historic House Now in ComplianceIn 1948 Dorothy Canfield and her husband John Fisher deed-

ed Arlington Community House to the newly formed Arlington Community Club, Inc., with the stipulation that the club use the building to provide meeting rooms for all citizens of the Arlington, Sunderland, and Sandgate communities, and also provide space for the Martha Canfield Free Library. For over 60 years, the Community House in Arlington’s Historic District has been in the care of the Arlington Community Club. With the advancing age of the house, built in 1829, major renovation and maintenance have been required and carried out over the years.

In the spring of this year, the serious issue of meeting Vermont state fire code safety standards could not be set aside. The remedy of this violation was driven by the building’s two residential apartments, plus monthly and daily use by many town groups and organizations. Meetings took place with the state fire marshall and division of fire safety offices, architects, engineers, electricians, town representatives, and others. Work finally began in July and was completed in October, according to Ken Nicholson, president of ACC.

The required work included upgrade of the old or faulty wiring including additional circuitry; fire-safe doors and fire-safe egress via replacement windows for the residences; and installation of a fire alarm system, now tied in to a monitoring company. Certification of compli-ance from the VT Division of Fire Safety was received in September.

The ACC is grateful to all professionals involved in these critical renovations, including Centerline Architects; Novotny Electric; Preston Niles & Scott Racicot of Bennington Builders; the state Fire Marshall’s Office; Atlantic Sprinkler and Countryside Alarm; Miles Lumber.

“Finally, but importantly,” said Nicholson, “we are most apprecia-tive to all those who responded to this summer’s fundraising effort with financial support of this project. This effort allowed us to reach this immediate goal, but our long range plan remains to renovate the Burdett Room and the Library book sale room and landscape the grounds. Gifts toward these expenses are still welcome.” ACC’s address is P.O. Box 525, Arlington, VT 05250-0525.

Casting for Recovery Receives BenefitThe TriState Pennysaver News and the Vermont News Guide ran a

special section on October 21 and 28th, for Breast Cancer Awareness. The response was wonderful and we thank all of the local businesses who showed their support. The TriState Pennysaver News and Vermont News Guide presented a check for $400 to Casting for Recovery in Manchester Vermont. Casting for Recovery was founded in 1996 and is a national non-profit support and educational program for breast cancer survivors. Thanks again to all who participated in this special section.
