Nudes in Oils on Raw Linen by Kristae Peterson!

December 1, 2011

Kristae’s work is incredible. These are on raw linen which has been hemmed all the way around and is hung by a simple curtain rod. You simply but the brackets on a wall and the work hangs like a curtain about an inch away from the wall. They are stunning to see in person. They will be hanging in the gallery tonight for the Valley Junction Christmas walk tonight from 5-9pm.

 

——————-

Don’t forget $55 signed works by St. Louis photographer Brad Bauer and $30 signed prints by Chicago painter Laura Lee Junge – perfect for Christmas presents.

12-1-11: Open Later Tonight for Christmas in Valley Junction

December 1, 2011

Tonight from 5-9pm: Christmas in Valley Junction -

All pottery by Kirk Niehouse is 20% off tonight! We will ship your purchase for $5.00 per item to any address in the Lower 48 – tonight from 5-9pm only!

Kirk has been with the gallery practically since the beginning and we are proud to present a special offer on his work tonight! No other discounts apply for Kirk’s work tonight – we are looking forward to seeing you when you visit the shops and galleries in Valley Junction tonight.

…………and……………

We are hoping you will stop by and meet “Ralphie” (the Wonder Hound) tonight. He is usually at the gallery during the day, but he’s agreed to stay later tonight to meet everyone.

——————————————————-

For you locals – the new Subway shop across from the sculpture park in downtown Des Moines is gettng a little guff for opening (completely with a “Subway” sign – must be a sign of the End of Days) across from the park. There’s an article about it here:  http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20111201/BUSINESS/312010029/Elbert-Sub-shop-not-fit-Des-Moines-sculpture-park-some-say-poll- (opens in a new window). Please visit this business, even if they are a franchise – they still don’t deserve to get such a raw treatment from those that know better and did it anyway.
