During the cold winter months is a perfect time to enjoy the visual arts inside.  After spending a couple of months in Florida it was worth getting out in the cooler weather in Massachusetts to visit a couple of local exhibits.  The Gallery Naga in Boston currently has a 40th Anniversary:  Artists M – V  thru February 24, 2018 and the South Shore Art Center is featuring Shapes and Shadows thru February 18, 2018.

The many art pieces are beautiful and appealing to a wide variety of tastes.  Gallery Naga is always a welcome diversion to experience contemporary art created by Boston and New England artists while exploring Newbury Street.
