Exploring natural elements
"2 Out of 4 Elements-Earth Plowed'' (watercolor on paper), by Ed Ferszt, in his show "New Work,'' through March 31 at the Hera Gallery, Wakefield, R.I. He uses art to explore the natural elements of the rural and exurban environment of southern Rhode Island, whose unofficial name is South County.
Mr. Ferszt has long used water-based media, with his most recent work on stretched paper. He creates both small and large watercolors.
