    The Greenwich Art Society will host a solo exhibition and sale of paintings by artist Jeanne Carol Potter of Old Lyme. The exhibition will run from Sept. 16 through Oct. 9 and present 47 recent watercolors, including award winners from national juried shows. Potter will exhibit landscapes, still lifes and portraits.

    “I have had a lifelong love of watercolors,” said Potter in a release, “and this show of my recent work will let me share the art and beauty of watercolor with the public.”

    Highlights of her show will include a series of recent pond paintings from her travels to Maine and Witch Hole Pond in Acadia National Park where she explores the beauty of reflected clouds in water amongst lily pads and grasses. One painting titled “Lily Pads and Clouds on Maine Pond” most recently was on view at the juried national 51st Nor’Easter Exhibition at the New Britain Museum of American Art.

    Other New England landscapes painted en plein air show the beauty of nature from Owl’s Head, Maine and Newport, R.I. as well as Black Point in Niantic.

    Included in her solo exhibition is a series of paintings of the classic Ball jar, in both clear and blue glass. This past spring, one of her Ball jar paintings received an Award of Merit at the Providence Art Club National juried exhibition and the painting is currently on view at the Bendheim Gallery in Greenwich in its 104th Annual National Juried Greenwich Art Society exhibition.

    The exhibition will also feature her portrait art, including her “wall of women” presenting 20 portraits of women who are friends, family and acquaintances.

    The Greenwich Art Society Gallery is located at 299 Greenwich Ave., Second Floor, Greenwich. An artist reception will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 25. For more information visit greenwichartsociety.org or call (203) 629-1533.
