The Whistler House Museum of Art will open its fall season with a one-person exhibit of Kevin Dadoly's watercolors. The artist's reception will take place on Sunday, Sept. 19, from 2-5 p.m. The opening reception and exhibit are free and open to the public. Dadoly is a self-taught watercolorist, a Copley Artist at the Copley Society of Boston, and an associate member of the New England Watercolor Society and the American Watercolor Society. The artist has worked for 20 years as a software product manager at Compaq. Attracted to organic forms, the artist finds inspiration in simple, everyday objects that he interprets into elegant forms.
Painting is like putting together a difficult puzzle.
Once I've started a painting, I can't leave it alone. It's really a joy for me. The Whistler House Museum is the birthplace of James McNeill Whistler. In addition to exhibiting the works of contemporary New England artists, the museum also displays works of New England artists from the late l9th and early 20th centuries from its permanent collection.
