Tony Accettullo of Melrose, active with the Milano Senior Center artists group, won the blue ribbon with his beautiful oil painting of yellow flowers in a vase, at the annual Mystic Valley Elder Services Art Show. Not to be outdone, Tony's wife, Eleanor, won a third prize in the collage category. Close behind, earning an honorable mention award, was SilverStringer Don Norris's portrait of a house on Essex meadows. Also winning an honorable mention ribbon was Dorothy Kelly Brambilla of Melrose. Another Stringer, Tom Dillon, entered two delightful pieces in the photography category, but this year, the judges looked elsewhere; last year, Tom took home several honors. The photo at the left, above, was taken by Tom's wife, Mary Ann. Another Melrosian, Diane Smith, took a second place in photography. Winning the Best of Show prize was Dan Ferrin, Wakefield, for "Raine". (Sorry, we did not get a photo of Mr. Ferrin's work). The show was open to all artists in the seven-community area -- Medford, Malden, Melrose, Saugus, Stoneham, Somerville and Everett. There has been, during the past month, a series of workshops at the Malden offices of MVES, and a special reception for the artists and friends is scheduled for Wednesday, October 12 at 5:30. In all, there were 80 pieces or art entered. Judges included a photographer from Somerville, a watercolor teacher from Malden, a portrait painter from Reading and an artist/teacher from Wakefield. Melrose artists submitting work to the annual show were: Joseph Adario, Margot Long Dorothy Kelly Brambilla Carolyn Page Doherty Rita Pesaturo Sara Linnehan Diane Smith John Maciejowski Donald Norris Anthony Accettullo Mary Ann Dillon Tom Dillon Jane Lavender Eleanor Accettullo October 7, 2011
