For the past 32 years, Chesterwood, the home and gardens of the American sculptor Daniel Chester French (1850 -1931) in Stockbridge has hosted a contemporary sculptures show on its lush grounds. A property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Chesterwood’s centerpiece is the intact studio of French who’s most famous for his sculpture at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. Undaunted by the rains last Friday, fans of Chesterwood came out to walk through the woods and see this year’s sculpture show (which includes Mary Ellen Scheri’s Commando, photo) and to meet many of the participating artists.

Mark & Carol Bosco Baumann of the Red Lion Inn; Sheila & Randy Thunfors, whose Stone House Properties recently opened an office in Chatham.

Helena Gudmundsdottir and Dr. Todd LePine.

Cookiehead’s Lisa Newman with the Red Lion Inn’s Nancy Fitzpatrick; musician Paul Green and RI advertising director Lisa Green.

Sarah Lacour and Valerie Balint.

Sculptor Kaete Brittin Shaw and Carmine Castaldo; sculptors Chris Smith and Clifford Blanchard.
