Two artists who share a love for a local art school will team to present a display of their recent paintings.

The exhibition, “Images of Ox-Bow, A Place for Study and Reflection,” features the work of Judy Bowman Anthrop of Douglas and David Baker of Dowagiac.

The works will be shown at The Old School House in Douglas.

Anthrop is a fiber artist and historian as well as a painter.

She has studied painting for many years, both at Ox-Bow and in numerous workshops throughout the country.

She is the author of “A Portrait of Ox-Bow, Architecture-Art-Artists.”

The book added valuable scholarship on the school and its publication coincided perfectly with Ox-Bow’s 100th year celebration.

Included in this exhibition are many of the watercolors from her book.

These paintings document Ox-Bow’s unique architectural heritage.

Baker has a long career as an artist/educator.

Currently he is painting professor emeritus at Southwestern Michigan College in Dowagiac.

He has an association with Ox-Bow that dates back two decades, both as a student and frequent instructor.

His oil and watercolor paintings have been featured in dozens of solo exhibitions throughout the region, including several at Vesuvius Gallery in Glennn.

Prominent in this display are a suite of watercolors done “en plein air” on the Ox-Bow campus.

For this body of work, Baker completed a new painting for each week of the school’s centennial season.

The exhibit will be shown Nov. 6 from 5 until 8 p.m. and Nov. 7 from 1 until 5 p. m. at The Old School House, 130 Center St., Douglas. Refreshments will be served and the works are available for purchase.
