Barbara Ellis Watercolors on Display at Busiel Mill
This wonderful collection of paintings the late Barbara Ellis, mother of Peter Ellis of Gilford NH is not to be missed. Described as museum quality by a local artist, the paintings will not disappoint.
Barbara Ellis was born Barbara Sleigh in Springfield, MA and, when she married Richard Ellis moved to Petersham, MA. Stop in at almost any house in Petersham and you'll find a Barbara Ellis painting over the fireplace. At 80, she had sold more than 700 of her watercolors.

Barbara studied with foremost artists, travelled extensively, taught school children and was an illustrator for Filene's department store. As a nature lover, she was head of the Shade Tree Commission in Athol, MA planting hundreds of trees.
Barbara's son, Peter, and his wife, Jane, have many of Barbara's paintings in their home as do their children, David, Richard and Corey. They have put them on display for the month of December at the Busiel Mill in Laconia.
A friend of Barbara's was quoted as saying, "She makes my living space a treasure".
