Marblehead Harbor’s Holiday Pops Art To Be Unveiled At Reception

Holly Aloha Jaynes will present the painting she has created for the Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor’s Holiday Pops concert at a reception in her honor on Sunday, Nov. 6, 12:30 to 2:30 at the Unitarian Universalist Church at 28 Mugford Street.

The reception is free and open to the public. Guests are invited to gather for an exhibit of Jaynes' artwork. The presentation of the 2022 Holiday Pops painting, “Across Marblehead Harbor,” will take place at the reception.

Jaynes is an artist who views the world with a deep love and regard for nature, animals, and people, seeing art everywhere and in everything, giving her the ability to make images of vulnerability, wonder and compassion. “I am inspired by people I meet, places I go and nature in all its variety and beauty,” she has written. “I admire and am inspired by many early and contemporary painters, too many to list.”

The exhibit of Holly Aloha Jaynes’ work will be on view through the month of November.

Jaynes said of her painting, “I want to give the viewer peace, wonder and hope." The painting has a vantage point on Marblehead Neck, on a lawn framed with lavender, blue, pink and white blooms. Sailboats float serenely in Marblehead Harbor, with a view of Abbot Hall set against a lovely sunset of blues, oranges and yellows. The painting celebrates color, serenity, and the beauty of the Marblehead landscape

The Holiday Pops artwork will be raffled at the Holiday Pops concert on December 10. Raffle tickets will be available at the artist reception, at the Arnould Gallery, from Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor members and at the Pops concert on December 10 at Abbot Hall.
