Exhibits

"Jigs and Reels: Irish Tunes as Paintings" was previously on exhibit at Camilla Blackman Hall at Indian Hill Music School for the months of March and April 2011. This exhibit of acrylic paintings by Kim Henry was painted specifically for Indian Hill and celebrates Irish traditional music and the Irish landscape. Each painting takes its name from a jig, reel or slow air.

"After many years of hearing my husband Raymond play Irish traditional music on his flute, I wanted to create a series of paintings that not only captured the mood of the music, but also explained the intriguing titles of the tunes. The titles, such “Toss the Feathers,” “Dusty Windowsills” or “Drowsy Maggie,” seemed to tell the stories behind the music. For me, each title was like a distillation of the tune and conjured up a very specific and vivid image."

Although this collection is no longer on exhibit, images of the paintings and the associated Irish tunes can be viewed at www.thegrotonsession.com/exhibit/Jigs&Reels2011_3.wmv
