The Barboursville Post Office is moving forward!! Here are photos Fred Nichols took on May 5 of the “modular” unit going in place. From the road it is very well placed – you can still the the Ruritan Building in full. And it really doesn’t look like a trailer. The contemporary windows make the difference.

Art about Color, From Abstract to Real
curated by Beth Nichols
March 12th through May 17th
The exhibition will explore the many ways in which contemporary artists use color in their work. Steve Griffin describes his large abstract “Strata” paintings as including “all of the traditional visual elements of composition, shape, texture and color. Of these- color is the single most important element. The minimal compositions, using broad and narrow horizontal stripes, are simply the framework that supports the color relationships.” “The color of nature” is the subject of Frederick Nichols’ paintings. “Landscape is felt through atmospheric colors – the color of light from different seasons and times of day.” Rob Browning places “brightly colored and brightly lit objects against dark backgrounds, using the darkness as a tool to give importance to color,” while realist artist John Murray uses color “to maximize the effects and intensity” of his work.

Same Time, Next Year
Written by Bernard Slade
Directed by Frank DeAngelis
One of the most popular romantic comedies of the century, Same Time, Next Year ran four years on Broadway, winning a Tony Award for lead actress Ellen Burstyn, who later recreated her role in the successful motion picture. It remains one of the world’s most widely produced plays. The plot follows a love affair between two people, married to others, who rendezvous once a year. Twenty-five years of manners, morals and attitudes are hilariously enacted by the lovers, Doris and George.
