Nudes in Oils on Raw Linen by Kristae Peterson!

independentthoughtgallery — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:44:17 +0000

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.

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.
