Sue Krigsberg is our featured artist of the month and her reception was very well attended. The reception high lighted many of Sue’s latest works.  Her intense colors , textures, and free forms have attracted attention from gallery goers.

About 50 folks came by to enjoy the wonderful snacks and the special wine tastings hosted by Leroy Schoot.  What Leroy does is select five or six very special wines from the Gorge area for us to sample.  He calls his offerings “Wines of the neighborhood” and has maps showing the location of the various vineyards.  My personal favorite is Satin by The Pines 1857 winery. This is a crisp and delightful wine with flavor and character.  I was amazed to learn that this particular vineyard was actually established in 1857 and it is located in the hills south of The Dalles.

We were further entertained by the excellent guitar music by Star Meichtry.  Low key and soothing notes underscored the ambiance of the evening and everyone enjoyed it and the opportunity to visit with Sue and talk to her personally about her art.

Next month we will feature Ron Sheldon and his excellent watercolors, Ron has developed a wonderful way of presenting his vivid watercolors so that they need not be covered with glass.  Circle December 11 on your calendar and join us. Wines of the Neighborhood will be offered and Star Meichtry has offered to return with his wonderful guitar music.
