This exhibition is an autumnal delight. We’re currently being teased with a few turned leaves of red, orange and yellow, with our full-blown season of bright colors still on the way. But if you’re impatiently waiting like I am, “Symphony in Pastel” may hold you over until the real thing arrives. These latest pastel landscapes by Lexington artist Anne Kindl are drawn in blocky-stroke abstractions, best viewed from a few steps back. But it’s the colors that dominate, be it in warm hues or rich blues and greens. “I want to establish communication first visually and then subconsciously, rendering the viewer in a state of contentment,” says Kindl. “Art and design have played a dual role in my life; both have the power to transform the mundane into something beautiful.” —Jo Anne Triplett
