MO-The public is cordially invited to step into the surreal realm of local artist Louise E. Belcher's water color painting exhibit, currently on display through February 4 in the P. E.O. Foundation Art Gallery at Cottey College. The exhibit is comprised of 73 different paintings, each of which captures the unbridled essence of life though the artist's eyes.
Flowers bloom in painted hues and landscapes recline in pastel moods.
The images whisper tales of the American landscape in breaths of abstract shapes and tones of recognizable objects. A Nevada resident, Belcher studied water color techniques at St. Louis Community College and with the Cameo Group in St. Louis, Missouri. Her works have been showcased in Vermont, Massachusetts, and Oregon. The exhibit is open to the public and admission is free. The Gallery is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and later on the nights of performances.
