While I was "Taking a closer look" at the gallery today, in walks Jim Day with a new painting. Jim self declares, "I guess you could say I'm a heron addict!"
Sure enough, his "Master of the Marsh" proves it! Such a beautiful capture of a great blue heron! The hazy acrylic background provides the perfect contrast for the more detailed portrayal of the heron in the foreground, painted in oil. Jim plans on painting a little green heron soon.

The Community Art Center's featured artist of the month is Kathy Francis. Come meet Kathy on first Friday, August 7th from 6 to 9 PM.
In Kathy's words, "My art is a mirror of my journey through life. Painting started as a hobby, became my full-time work, but soon I realized it was a mirror of my
soul and a vital part of my life. I do not
paint the same way or the same thing
all the time, because I am different each
day."
Over the past 20 years of painting, Kathy grew from trying to paint realism to learning to paint feelings or memories. Kathy describes herself as an impressionistic landscape painter, constantly striving to grow as a person
and as an artist. Come meet this fascinating woman and enjoy her nature driven impressionistic paintings.

Taking a closer look around the gallery at the Community Art Center and discovered Nancy Wiley has a new endeavor. Known for her exquisite pastels and whimsical wire sculptures, Nancy is using upcycled wood fibers and crafting them into organic forms with a textured sculptural surface. Natural materials and other organic objects are incorporated to complement the forms.
Protected with a water-resistant
varnish, they are designed for dry environments only.

Taking a closer look around the gallery at the Art Center.
Stained glass creations by Megan Reis are a magical combination of great design and extraordinary glass.
This 24"x24" stained glass window is based on a medallion design of the early 20th century windows in the Switzerland County Baptist Church on Main Cross St. Along with Kokomo, Bullseye and Wissmach sheet glass, it includes amber ripple glass recycled from the Aberdeen Baptist Church, antique German hand faceted orange jewels and a mouth blown ruby rondel from Kokomo, IN. Its wood frame was created by Lou Cougill with wood milled from his farm on Rte. 129.
