Al Jolson sang "Though April showers may come your way, They bring the flowers that bloom in May." But you don't need to wait until May to see flowers...come to our gallery stroll this Friday, the 20th of April, and you will see plenty of bright colors! In fact, the weather is forecast to be sunny and warm and if it holds true at least one of our painters will be creating a new work of art that night.

Our featured artists this month are Allan & Jo Ann Merrill, travel photographers who capture the light in many celebrated and picturesque lands; Lorin Thunell, a highly talented jeweler and well-known jewelry teacher who creates both modern pieces and "wearable sculptures" that invoke the spirits of past civilizations; and Ron Moulton, our resident impressionistic painter who, with palette knife and oils, creates wonderful, colorful landscapes that vibrate with life.

See them all -- and works of our other 25+ artists -- this Friday from 6pm to 9pm.

This April 13th from 6-9pm Local Colors will once again be part of the Sugar House Art Walk, the fastest growing local art event.

As part of this event we will have a live painting demonstration and a wonderful assortment of food to nibble on.

Our featured artists on display are the gifted potter Cheryl Glen, renowned painter, Catherine Hostetter, and collage creator extraordinaire Melody Johnson. Of course, you will be able to browse the work of ALL of our 25+ artists! JOIN US!

The theme for this month's show is "With a Whimsical View." Take a look at some of the work of our featured artists -- Cheryl Glen, Catherine Hostetter & Melody Johnson -- and we think you'll agree whimsy and style walk hand-in-hand in these professional created art works.

Cheryl's earthy pottery, Catherine's expressive paintings, and Melody's painstaking collage creations, present a fascinating study of different art forms, all with a bit of whimsy!

You don't have to love dogs (though there is nothing wrong and everything right about that!) to come into the gallery and enter to win this Original 16" x 20" painting "Flying Below Radar" ($600 value) by Catherine Darling Hostetter. For more info go to Catherine's blog or follow us on Facebook. The drawing is at 7:30, March 16th during Gallery Stroll.

As I stare out my window watching the snow fall, it may seem overly optimistic to name this month's show 'Sunshine,' but if we look at the body of work of our three featured artists, the name is entirely justified. Sandi and Mae are two of our newer artists and while they work in very different mediums -- paint for Sandi and glass for Mae -- they both exercise a mastery of color and subject matter. While Jane's fine oil painting has been featured at Local Colors for several years, she has a new crop of canvases to show.

Join us this Friday (17-Feb) for our gallery stroll reception featuring these fine artists.
