The Emerson Hospital Auxiliary is displaying the artwork of retired JGMS physical education instructor Barbara Newell Jones through December 7 in the Main Street Gallery at Emerson Hospital in Concord.

Newell Jones’s painting typically draws from nature because she enjoys being outside in every season. “I feel that the colors and values of my subjects and the essence of a place can best be captured on location and with direct observation,” she said. “The excitement and immediacy of painting ‘on the spot’ are my inspiration.”

A retired middle school physical education teacher who worked in Bedford for 37 years, Newell Jones has studied with Robert Cormier, David Curtis, Don Stone and Maris Platais. Her honors include the LeRoy Hebert Award for Excellence from Lexington Arts and Crafts Society in 2007, and she was featured by Northwest Magazine in the summer of 2010. Represented by the Central Street Gallery in Manchester, Mass., and the Windjammer 2 Gallery in Hamilton, Bermuda, her work is in private and corporate collections in New England, New York, California and Bermuda.
