Corinne Gandy Watson and Jackie Roughton discuss Ted McCormick’s painting.

“It turns something realistic into an abstract,” Watson said of the artwork. “You can see a whole different world up that close.”

Watson entered two older pieces in the show, including a pastural view of two young people in a field of grass and a second, a guitar player in abstract that could resemble, if looked at with a different perspective, a globe.

The work of 28 artists and 70 paintings fill the Calvin Little Room at the Library and spilled over to the foyer and display case at Rockingham City Hall. Paintings are also on exhibit at BB&T, Fidelity, Community One and First Bank, all in Rockingham.

Art will be on display at the library from Friday through Dec.11 during regular library hours. The Artists’ Guild meets weekly at First United Methodist Church, Rockingham.
