“This is a two part talk.  In the first half- I will share a  bit about my experiences raising monarch butterflies-  how and why I got involved, splashes of what I have learned over the years and some ideas of how you can support the lives and migration of these marvelous insects in your own backyard!  Speaking of your own backyard – in the second half – the focus will be on what is happening in one of our Piermont parks. Through the Piermont Parks Commission and in conjunction with our DPW, I am working in Half-Moon Park restoring it with native trees, shrubs and plants. Learn about this ongoing project that not only supports biodiversity locally but invites community participation via gardening and art.  A resource page will be provided to all participants.”

For the month of January, the Piermont Library presents Piermont Marsh Watercolors by Robert Adzema.  You can view the show here https://www.piermontlibrary.org/artist-of-the-month/

From the artist……

Please join me for this virtual viewing of a collection of my watercolor paintings of our beautiful Piermont Marsh. 

All these watercolors were painted on location in all types of weather, times of day and seasons of the year.  

I paint in watercolors because it is a lightweight and easily transportable medium. Using colors, water and paper, it is a fluid medium for painting which rewards working quickly particularly when trying to capture changing and dramatic light effects or weather conditions. 

Painting the Piermont Marsh, Sparkill Creek and the Piermont Pier offers many unique landscape options for the painter. There are the closed and intimate spaces of the creek, the open sky and vistas from the Pier and the mixed and varied landscapes of the marsh and Tallman Mountain as a backdrop. 

I hope you will take some time to scroll through my paintings and enjoy the point of view, time of day and the energy of my engagement with the wind, waves, light and colors of our beautiful Piermont landscape. 

All the paintings are for sale with a portion of any sales going to benefit the Piermont Library. 

All the watercolors come matted in archival mat board.

To purchase a painting please contact robert.adzema@gmail.com. with the number and title of the painting you would like.
