Reception: Sunday, March 8, 1:00 – 4:00 PM
Show: March 1 through 31, whenever we’re open

“Color Between the Reins” is a watercolor exhibition by artist Lena Knudson, on view at the Dobbs Ferry Library throughout the month of March. This collection celebrates the versatility and spirit of the horse through scenes of various equine disciplines, often depicted alongside their riders.

Each painting pairs richly detailed, three-dimensional like horses, with bold, two-dimensional patterned backgrounds filled with vibrant color. This intentional contrast creates a dynamic visual tension, inviting viewers to explore the relationship between motion and stillness, realism and abstraction. The striking use of color and pattern enhances the emotional presence of each subject, encouraging both reflection and connection.

As an equestrian and lifelong horse lover, Knudson draws inspiration from the unique balance horses embody—immense power and athleticism, softened by gentleness and grace. Her work seeks to honor not only their beauty, but their adaptability and the deep bond they share with humans across disciplines.

“Color Between the Reins” offers a fresh perspective on equine art, blending technical detail with expressive design to create a thought-provoking and visually engaging experience for audiences of all ages.

For more information, you can find her website here!

Lena Knudson is a watercolor artist known for her striking realism and bold color saturation, challenging expectations of the medium. She grew up in Dobbs Ferry, New York, and graduated from Dobbs Ferry High School in 2012. Introduced to watercolor by her grandmother, she further developed her skills through the International Baccalaureate Art program, where she was encouraged to explore diverse subjects and techniques.

After high school, Knudson became a Special Education teacher, working with middle and high school students in North Carolina and Virginia. She paused her art practice during this time before reconnecting with watercolor during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a largely self-taught artist, she developed a style focused on hyperrealism and saturated color.

In 2021, she founded Bristles and Design and has exhibited at the Cameron Art Museum, The Black Iris Social Club, and Flytrap Brewing. Her latest collection, “Color Between the Reins”, reflects her deep connection to horses and redefines the expressive potential of watercolor.

Movie Showing: Thursday, March 12, 1:30 PM
Book Discussion: Thursday, March 19, 2:00 – 3:30 PM

This month, we will be reading Rebecca by Daphnew Du Maurier. Come to a movie showing, get the book at the Library, and join us for a discussion comparing the two!

Register with reference@dobbsferrylibrary.org — please indicate the title and date of the program you are registering for!

The unassuming young heroine of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca finds her life changed overnight when she meets Maxim de Winter, a handsome and wealthy widower whose sudden proposal of marriage takes her by surprise. Rescuing her from an overbearing employer, de Winter whisks her off to Manderley, his isolated estate on the windswept Cornish coast—but there things take a chilling turn. Max seems haunted by the memory of his glamorous first wife, Rebecca, whose legacy is lovingly tended by the sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers. As the second Mrs. de Winter finds herself increasingly burdened by the shadow of her mysterious predecessor, she becomes determined to uncover the dark secrets that threaten her happiness, no matter the cost.

Reception: Sunday, March 8, 1:00 – 4:00 PM
Show: March 1 through 31, whenever we’re open

“Color Between the Reins” is a watercolor exhibition by artist Lena Knudson, on view at the Dobbs Ferry Library throughout the month of March. This collection celebrates the versatility and spirit of the horse through scenes of various equine disciplines, often depicted alongside their riders.

Each painting pairs richly detailed, three-dimensional like horses, with bold, two-dimensional patterned backgrounds filled with vibrant color. This intentional contrast creates a dynamic visual tension, inviting viewers to explore the relationship between motion and stillness, realism and abstraction. The striking use of color and pattern enhances the emotional presence of each subject, encouraging both reflection and connection.

As an equestrian and lifelong horse lover, Knudson draws inspiration from the unique balance horses embody—immense power and athleticism, softened by gentleness and grace. Her work seeks to honor not only their beauty, but their adaptability and the deep bond they share with humans across disciplines.

“Color Between the Reins” offers a fresh perspective on equine art, blending technical detail with expressive design to create a thought-provoking and visually engaging experience for audiences of all ages.

For more information, you can find her website here!

Lena Knudson is a watercolor artist known for her striking realism and bold color saturation, challenging expectations of the medium. She grew up in Dobbs Ferry, New York, and graduated from Dobbs Ferry High School in 2012. Introduced to watercolor by her grandmother, she further developed her skills through the International Baccalaureate Art program, where she was encouraged to explore diverse subjects and techniques.

After high school, Knudson became a Special Education teacher, working with middle and high school students in North Carolina and Virginia. She paused her art practice during this time before reconnecting with watercolor during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a largely self-taught artist, she developed a style focused on hyperrealism and saturated color.

In 2021, she founded Bristles and Design and has exhibited at the Cameron Art Museum, The Black Iris Social Club, and Flytrap Brewing. Her latest collection, “Color Between the Reins”, reflects her deep connection to horses and redefines the expressive potential of watercolor.

This month, we will be reading Time of the Child by Niall Williams. Get the book at the Library!

Register with reference@dobbsferrylibrary.org — please indicate the title and date of the program you are registering for!

Doctor Jack Troy was born and raised in Faha, but his responsibilities for the sick and his care for the dying mean he has always been set apart from the town. His eldest daughter, Ronnie, has grown up in her father’s shadow, and remains there, having missed one chance at love – and passed up another offer of marriage from an unsuitable man.

But in the Advent season of 1962, as the town readies itself for Christmas, Ronnie and Doctor Troy’s lives are turned upside down when a baby is left in their care. As the winter passes, father and daughter’s lives, the understanding of their family, and their role in their community are changed forever.

This month we’re reading The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood.

Copies of this book will be available for pick up at the circulation desk.

To register, email sbock@dobbsferrylibrary.org!

When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman’s carefully calculated theories on love into chaos.

As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn’t believe in lasting romantic relationships—but her best friend does, and that’s what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.

That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor—and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford’s reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive’s career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding…six-pack abs.

Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

Sabine — twenty years a magician’s assistant to her handsome, charming husband — is suddenly a widow. In the wake of his death, she finds he has left a final trick; a false identity and a family allegedly lost in a tragic accident but now revealed as very much alive and well. Named as heirs in his will, they enter Sabine’s life and set her on an adventure of unraveling his secrets, from sunny Los Angeles to the windswept plains of Nebraska, that will work its own sort of magic on her.

This month we’re reading The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston.

Copies of this book will be available for pick up at the circulation desk.

To register, email sbock@dobbsferrylibrary.org!

Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it.

So Clementine forms a plan to keep her heart safe: work hard, find someone decent to love, and try to remember to chase the moon. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep going. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Mostly. The love part is hard because she doesn’t want to get too close to anyone—she isn’t sure her heart can take it.

And then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt’s apartment. A man with kind eyes and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The kind of man that, before it all, she would’ve fallen head-over-heels for. And she might again.

Except, he exists in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future.

Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall, she’ll be doomed.

After all, love is never a matter of time—but a matter of timing.
