At least no mosquitoes

“Morning Ice in December” (oil on canvas), by the late Severin Haines, from Collection of William and Dedee Shattuck, in show “Artistic Luminaries: Three Local Icons,’’ through Feb. 23 at the New Bedford Art Museum.

The museum explains:

{The} show celebrates “the careers of three friends and New Bedford art mainstays, Willoughby ‘Bill’ Elliott, Severin ‘Sig’ Haines and Marc St. Pierre. The three were “leading figures in the studios and classrooms of the Swain School of Design and the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth," and “their collective influence established a model of artistic and educational excellence that continues through successive generations of artists, remaining central to the South Coast’s creative identity.’’
