GEORGETOWN — “ Georgetown: A Painter’s Paradise,” an exhibit of works by painter Stuart Ross, opens April 7 at the Georgetown Historical Society, 20 Bay Point Road.

The show will run through June 15. An artist’s reception will run from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. April 14.

Ross’ “work has captured the island’s coastal scenes and its people for many years,” a Georgetown Historical Society release states.

“Georgetown presents to the landscape painter a wide mix of natural systems; rocky headlands with pounding surf, salt marshes, tidal flats, coniferous woods, rock pools, an intertidal zone teeming with more life than an Iowa cornfield, and much more,” Ross said in the release. “It took a while for me to see the flats and marshes as exactly the visual environment that I needed. Over the years they have provided me with an endless variety of visual material, changing from season to season, day to day, hour to hour, even minute to minute. Georgetown truly is a painter’s paradise.”

Gallery hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, and from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday.
