Silent Landscapes
Watercolors in the Great Lakes Watershed
by Philip Enquist

September 3 – October 28
Opening Reception: Sunday,September 13
1:00 - 3:00 pm

Winter is the dramatic equalizer, rendering landscapes devoid of color,
enabling one to read the larger sweep of woods, lakes, rivers and sky. Rich with mystery and intensely private, these evocative black and white watercolors interpret the silences of the Midwest landscape.

Brushwood. Free.
