While I’m not artistic, I do appreciate those who are, so I checked out the Arkansas Arts Council’s “Small Works on Paper” exhibit in UALR Gallery III last week to admire local talent and discovered so much more.

“Lilypads Petit Jean Mt”

Lynn Bell’s “Summer Saturday”

Friend Mindy Lacefield’s “Lunar Perch”

Co-worker Ted Grimmett’s “Below the Dam”

Also by the  upstairs gallery was a display from a Painting I class — Still Life Color Studies. A little visual escape and color can brighten your day.

You have a few more days to see the Small Works tour stop at UALR. Look for a follow-up post on other gallery discoveries.

Tip spotted while in the Fine Arts building: the Clay Guild mug sale is from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 26 and 27.
