Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. and Framework will feature Memories in Watercolor by Marguerite Bride, December 8 through December 23 at Framework by Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. (437 North Street).

Memories in Watercolor is comprised of favorite scenes, both originals and fine art reproductions, that Marguerite Bride has painted over the years of the Berkshires and nearby regions. In the spring of 2025, after 30 years of living in the paradise that is the Berkshires, Bride will be taking on a new adventure and moving to Plymouth, New Hampshire. This show is a reflection by Bride on her memories since 1995, when she moved here from the Boston burbs, and started painting our idyllic Berkshires.

The cornerstone of Bride’s art career has been “Christmas on Park Square, 1912” which was painted in 2009. For the first time ever, the original three paintings that comprise this scene will be on display. Most people thought this scene was one single painting, but in reality, it was created as three separate pieces, with the edges carefully crafted so they could overlap into one. In addition to the three framed originals, a very large reproduction of them combined on stretched canvas will also be on display.

There will be an opening reception open to the public on Sunday, December 8, from 10 am to 12 pm, and the show will be on view Monday through Thursday, 10 am to 2 pm, through December 23 by visiting the Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. offices at 431 North Street.
