Emerging artists shine in new show at D.M. Hunt

Henry Kinsella, a Kindergarten student at the Lee H. Kellogg School, gestured to his entry in a show of student art at the David M. Hunt Library on Saturday, Jan. 27.

Proud parents and curious residents came to the David M. Hunt Library Saturday morning, Jan. 27, for an art show.

Not just any art show, either. This was the Lee H. Kellogg School Emerging Artists.

There were 79 8-inch square entries from students in grades K-8, created under the direction of art teacher Patricia Bunk, who had her own, somewhat larger entry.

A landscape by Baxter Hayhurst attracted a lot of attention.

Several paintings demonstrated a working knowledge of perspective on the part of the artists.

And many featured glitter. One parent said “My house is covered in it.”

Kindergartener Henry Kinsella was persuaded to pose with his work. Asked how long it took to produce the painting, the artist said, shyly, “A couple of weeks.”

It’s not the first time a winter-themed student art show has been featured at the library, but the shows have not been annual. The COVID-19 pandemic didn’t help matters.

The show is on display through Friday, Feb. 23.
