On Friday, Dec. 5, from 3 to 5 p.m., the Jackson Memorial Library, in Tenants Harbor, will host an opening reception for its December show: “Paula Horton: Favorite Hobbies.”

"Favorite Hobbies" includes everyday items hand painted to reflect the artist’s favorite hobbies: “Reading, gardening, painting, and a nice glass of wine,” said Horton, in a news release.

Horton "hand paints bottles with floral and nature designs, adding lights to create a lamp that is perfect for a cozy reading nook or to add a soft glow to a room," said the Library.  

Horton has been painting since 2005, and explains now that she’s retired, she “has the gift of time to enjoy my hobbies.”

Light refreshments will be provided.
