Art du Jour Third Friday News

Art du Jour Gallery’s board of directors have voted to continue with plans to hold a scaled down version of our Third Friday reception on July 17, 5 to 8 pm. With more stringent social distancing regulations being in order, we will require that all visitors wear a protective face covering to enter the gallery. As a courtesy we will provide a mask at the door if someone without would like to enter and view our exhibits.

Art and Soul Gallery Chasing the Muse

Harlequin, mixed media by Dixie Kinser

Original paintings by Dixie Kinser

“My paintings represent my journey in chasing my “muse.” I sometimes think, “Ah ha, now I have her.” Then later she taunts me to find her again. It is a constant search to find her in each painting or when working dyeing silk. Actually, dyeing silk was the beginning of my journey. Later I tried watercolor and finally acrylic became my favored medium. I now frequently find that the two mediums work well with each other in my pursuit of the muse.”
