Coming up: In the Art Gallery: Susan Carpenter, Sept. 8-Oct. 14. The next exhibit at the Lawrence Library Art Gallery will feature oil paintings by local artist Susan Carpenter, along with watercolors and pen and ink drawings. At her studio in her Amherst, N.H., home, Susan has been focusing on landscapes and portraits in oils. She says, "I love being able to create a likeness, and the exhilaration that comes from bringing the canvas to life."
