Discover Milton Artist Jed Sutter’s exhibit at the Milton Public Library’s Wotiz Gallery throughout December

The Milton Public Library will host a lovely exhibit by Milton artist Jed Sutter in our Wotiz Gallery for the month of December.

This display is continued from the month of November, and includes a variety of interesting images and topics.  Mr. Sutter is a self-taught realist painter working most frequently in acrylics but also in watercolor, gouache, and oil

This is what he says about his work: “A favorite subject of mine is the neighborhood trolley that runs behind my house on its way between Mattapan Square and Ashmont Station. I love the shape, the classic lines and how it interacts with its environment. As much as the MBTA labors to maintain it, the trolley’s days are numbered and I feel a tug to paint it each time I hear it rumble to a stop just past my neighbors’ house. Next, I’ve become quite taken by one of Milton’s hidden gens, the Eustis Estate.  I attended a day of painting there with a number of other artists in 2021. It was after I painted the south side of the house that I really started to notice it, which sounds a bit odd, but let me explain. The closer I looked at the house, the more I realized there were myriad little details that make it so unique. I’ve gone through the house and around the grounds and have painted a number of details that stand out for me. They’re on little 5” X 5” panels. No huge visual feast, but a bunch of Small Bites of the Eustis.

Last, I take the opportunity in this show to share some of my views of Milton, Boston and beyond. Not the usual postcard views, but the ones that give me a sense of place.  I truly hope you enjoy my paintings. My work can be seen here, and also at the Switch Co-op in Hyde Park and at the Wright Gallery in Kennebunkport, Maine.”  Mr. Sutter’s website is: www.jedsutter.com if you would like to learn more.
