Part two of an art exhibit that pays homage to a Central Virginia landmark and a 19th-century Japanese artist will open Monday, June 1 in the Babcock Fine Arts Center Gallery at Sweet Briar College.

“Morris Orchard from Afar,” by Marion FreerksThe exhibit, "100 Views of High Peak, Part 2," includes paintings of different views of the High Peak of Tobacco Row Mountain by Amherst residents Nancy McDearmon, Marion Freerks and Rosalie Day White. McDearmon is the registraral assistant for the Sweet Briar Galleries.

The oil, watercolor and pastel paintings were inspired by the works of Katsuhika Hokusai (1760-1849), a Japanese woodblock printer from the Edo Period who is famous for his series "36 Views of Mount Fuji."

The exhibit will run simultaneously with "The Bluest Water: A Hurricane Camille Story," which is on the program for this year's Blue Ridge Summer Theatre Festival. "100 Views of High Peak, Part 1," which featured different paintings with the same theme, was on display during last year's sold-out run of "The Bluest Water."

A reception hosted by the artists will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 7. The exhibit runs through June 30.

Gallery hours are 9 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and during performances of "The Bluest Water." Admission to the exhibit is free. For more information, contact McDearmon at nmcdearmon@sbc.edu or (434) 942-2067.
