The late Buffalo artist Jeanette Blair, whose landscapes and abstractions seemed to vibrate with the thrum of nature, will be remembered in a memorial service planned for 2 p.m. March 13 at the Burchfield Penney Art Center. Across a prolific career that extended from the 1940s into the 1990s and beyond, Blair’s paintings have been featured in exhibitions in the Albright Art Gallery (now the Albright-Knox), as well as national shows in Cooperstown, Youngstown, Ohio and elsewhere. She died on Jan. 6 at 93. A showing of Blair’s art will be held immediately following the service at the Benjamin Gallery on Elmwood Ave. Forget-Me-Nots, Watercolor on paper, 1980
