"The title of this year's Nashua Art Association February show at the Chandler Library is "Color and Energy, " and in many instances the show lives up to its name. In the case of oil painter Marilene Sawaf's two entries that is certainly true. Her "Summer Colors" and "Summer Garden" are rife with both color and energy. It's the former that really defines the artist, who uses color as if it were a subject matter in and of itself. "Summer Colors" shows a farmhouse from the perspective of the walkway in front of it. It's as if the viewer were walking by the house in summer on such a bright day that they must squint his or her eyes leaving the scene rendered in hazy shapes of color--in this case vivid purple, orange, green and yellow."
