Peter Blue’s art takes the form of painting, collage, sculpture and mobiles that are characterized by vibrant acrylic colors, symmetry and balance. These unique creations incorporate a variety of materials, dream-like imagery and motion as they follow gravity’s path. Inspired by eastern and western religious imagery as well as military order, his creations are often whimsical and childlike while imparting thought provoking images. Some of his work, such as his marble chutes, are specifically designed for children, created from everyday materials and punctuated with toys. Interactive and noisy with the satisfying clangs of bells, these creations are a marvel to behold and just plain fun. His mediums also include collage and painted wood reliefs. Commissions are invited.
It was with the advent of the internet that Joyce Blue’s lifelong fascination with history and genealogy became a full fledged passion. Beginning of course with research on her own family, she began to expand her work to include family histories for other who were curious about their own heritage. In the course of all this research, Joyce collected large quantities of historical materials, much of it family related, but much of it about the history of Eaton NH. Among these archives were the handwritten journals of Nella Braddy Henney. Seeing the journals as an important piece of local history, Joyce transcribed the 14 handwritten books and published them to make them available to everyone who might have an interest in life in Eaton during the early to mid 20th century. This led her to compile other photograph collections, stories, and family histories into book form, all self published, some made available for purchase, while others printed for private individuals. The books listed on this site are among those that are available for purchase.
