‘Days Like This’ at The Donald Gallery

The 2022 watercolors “Meadow Series No. 1: Summer Flux” and “New England Asters” are among the works by Raine Gifford on view in “Days Like This,” at South Presbyterian Church”™s Donald Gallery through Feb. 26. Photographs by Raine Gifford.

The Donald Gallery at South Presbyterian Church in Dobbs Ferry is hosting a month-long, solo show featuring the works of Hastings-on-Hudson artist Raine Gifford through Feb. 26.   

“The pieces in this collection of work, watercolor and acrylic, explore an evolving theme related to found moments in time and space,” Gifford said. “These moments represent aspects of strength, solace, reverie and reprieve. They express something of the balance between internal and external space; inside the self, and outside among the natural world – especially the garden. Some of the work is inspired directly by observed”¯still life or prompts; some by memory as well as by surprises of medium and process.””¯ 

“The Donald Gallery is honored to offer Raine Gifford her first solo show as an artist,” said Curator Donna Thompson. “Raine’s work is such a delight to the senses on many levels. Her subtle use of color and mastery of watercolors, her connection to plants and the sacredness of nature is a gift, especially during the long, bleak winter months. Her exhibition is an offering of hopeful reminders that spring will return.” 

Hours are noon to 4 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2 to 4 p.m. Wednesdays and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sundays. The Donald Gallery at South Presbyterian Church is at 343 Broadway in Dobbs Ferry. For more, click here.
