Just For Fun
An opening reception for the art exhibit, "Woods and Water," by Pat Halverson will take place 5:30-7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 8 at Bereskin Gallery and Art Academy, 2967 State St., Bettendorf.
Visitors can walk through the diverse views of nature captured in Halverson's paintings.
"My love for nature began in childhood at our cabin on a Minnesota lake. Though I grew up in a Minneapolis suburb, my fondest memories are of those days spent on the dock trying to catch sunfish while watching turtles and frogs. As I got older I would row our fishing boat up the streams in the marsh that fed into or led from the lake. I enjoyed the plants and critters of the marsh. The peace of northern waters echoed with the call of loons and reflected the colors of the sky and the greens of the woods."
The exhibition runs through Jan. 27 at Bereskin Gallery and then will be on display at the RiverCenter's Adler Theater showcases in Davenport.
The gallery is open 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays-Fridays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays or make an appointment by calling Pat at 563-508-4630. Masks and social distancing are required in the gallery.
