Hingham’s South Street Gallery thinks small for Christmas

Framed oils, pastels, and watercolors of favorite things — double basses, ladies in kimonos, collections of seashells, red roosters, a plate of mushrooms, a bowl of color-contrasting lemons and limes (whimsically titled “Limes Win 7-5” by Ted Gentry) — fill the Holiday Show at Hingham’s South Street ­Gallery.

The show aims to put art on your Christmas shopping list by offering more than 60 “small, affordable paintings,” most by local artists. The majority of the pieces are for sale near the $200 mark, while a few reach $500; some of the 34 artists in the show ordinarily price their work much higher.
