Route 16 series at White Birch Bookstore
The White Birch Bookstore owner Laura Lucy has begun displaying fine art paintings intermingled with of her Literature books to spread the art scene in the area. Laura has a great selection of Independent books for free thinkers. The book store seems to be taking an interesting turn towards a wonderful quirky art scene. Laura has a constant flow of famous writers gracing her doors along with Fine Art in her bookshelves. The display of Rebecca’s paintings intermingled with her books are a great way to connect to more of the local talent in the White Mountain area.
Laura Lucy, a long-time employee bought the store in 2005, and currently runs it with the help of a small but dedicated staff including Barbara Drake, Karen Kovach, Karyl Chase and Jane Duggan. Although ownership may have changed, the goal of the store has remained constant: to promote and support a community of readers for locals and visitors alike. www.whitebirchbooks.com
Rebecca Klementovich’s primary subjects of all of the paintings in this series are the beauty of the views on Route 16. This series which began in the end of spring 2010 and continued through the following spring, uses a somber palette mixed in with some bright colored highlights. The series is known for its thematic use of differences in perception of light across various times of day, seasons, and types of weather.
-The Ossipee Lake section of paintings has a fascinating history of New Hampshire. Originally known as Wigwam Village, and then New Garden, the town was named for the Ossipee Indians, one of the twelve Algonquian tribes. The Ossipee was once the site of an Indian stockade. The fort near the lake was designed to protect the tribe from the Mohawks in the west. In 1725, the Indian stockade was destroyed, and then rebuilt by Captain John Lovewell. Ossipee Lake’s water leaves the eastern end and goes into the Saco River. These small paintings are a subtle palette of an island on the lake.

Klementovich Retrospective Painting show
Mt. Washington Valley Arts Association’s will show its first retrospective exhibition of Rebecca Klementovich, the painteress. With over 350 paintings, this show will have a hand full of her work showing the transition of her realism to abstract. The show will give examples of abstracting the landscape. This opens Sept 2011.
What are lesser known about Klementovich’s work are the hundreds of fashion illustrations, textile design, and graphics that influenced her painting. In New York City she worked with designers from Diesel and Joan Vass. This work can be seen at http://klementovichfashion.blogspot.com/
Here work has been in galleries and private collections along with a list of patrons. However, what she feels is most important is the reaction she sees from people viewing her work. Many times people have some unresolved emotions that get activated from the abstracted shapes and emotionally charged titles. The most impressive reaction to her work was a woman who saw a tumor drawn in the painting. She went to the doctors to find out she had a small cancer tumor that was found in its early stages. Art has a language all its own.

quantum painters unite
I am looking for any painters who want to join a movement
I discovered called Quantum painting.
It works in your imagination and intuition. Quantum painting connects to the higher planes of your being. It is everywhere at all times. One painting in all places at one time forever. Reverberating through time. The painted veil of past, present, and future. Please become a follower or/and email rklementovich@yahoo.com if interested.
