The Elizabeth Overton Gallery at the Riverhead Free Library on Court Street has been given over this month to a single artist and a single subject. Watercolor painter Eileen Kelly's exhibition, which the library describes as honoring veterans, is on its walls from Nov. 7 through Nov. 30, open to all ages and free during library hours.

The artist

Kelly is a watercolorist who holds a degree in pure mathematics, according to the library's exhibit listing. The listing frames her work around pattern, shape, sequence and symmetry, and around the contrast of darkness and light. She is also a Reiki practitioner and writes about the healing side of making art. More of her work is on her own site, eknewyork.com.

This show is her tribute to veterans, hung for the month that holds Veterans Day.

A gallery that changes every few weeks

The Overton Gallery runs a rotating calendar of exhibits by local and regional artists. Recent shows listed on the gallery's page include the juried Photographic Exhibition And Competition Event (P.E.A.C.E.) Project, the Riverhead Photo Club, the abstract nature paintings of Anika Griffing, and the New England landscapes of Alan Bull, who has taught oil and watercolor workshops for more than 30 years. Artists interested in showing there can reach the exhibit coordinator at [email protected].

Plan around Wednesday

The library is closed on Wednesday, Nov. 11, for Veterans Day, and reopens Thursday, Nov. 12. Its digital collection, including e-books, databases and streaming, stays available around the clock.

Pfc. Garfield M. Langhorn, who received the Medal of Honor for shielding wounded soldiers from a grenade in Vietnam in 1969, is the namesake of the Riverhead post office, and this summer he was reinterred at nearby Calverton National Cemetery at his family's request.
