Next the works of Nancy Pollock spring into view. Her piece entitled "Red P" treats your vision with rich expanses of color and subtle changes that cause you to look deeper and deeper into the piece. This art calls to you from any spot in the room, truly candy for the soul. Huzzah!
 Red P You will find the works of Emily Clawson "Fractal Wing II" next. This painting shows a wonderful layered effect, translucent and almost sculptural in content. Encapsulated pigments stepping aside and allowing the underdrawing to shine through.
 Fractil Wing II Truly a wonderous excursion into the landscape is the abstracted views of Ginny Krueger. Her painting "Trueing IV" transports you through a lush forest filled with regenerated light and magical splendor. Dabs of vivid color seem suspended in the blues and greens and capture the eye bringing you to a secluded moment in time.
 Trueing IV On any venture through the urban landscape, one can see the intricate patterns of line and form that coexist in our environment. The painting by Kathleen Waterloo, "Airport Zurich" addresses these shapes and abstracts them into a blend of color and form, not just the lights and darks but bits of color suspended in space and divided by separate planes. The forms hiding behind each plane lead you to grasp at the corners, waiting to go beyond . Strong but not intimidating, it leads you to the edge of reason.

The paintings of Nikkole Huss are next in view. A grouping of 4 abstractions of the earths atmosphere, were wonderous to say the lease, but her painting "Leaky Land IX" caught my attention and pulled me in. Lights and darks and bits of swirling color, supported by transparancies, truly break from technical imagery and take you to another place. Far distant a fantasized window to a magical world.
 Leaky Land IX Brandy Eigers work "Energy Emerges" comes as a pulsating and teeming look at the dawn of creation. Her combination of limited pallete and light, suggest an inside look at the powers of nature, abstracted yet natural, moving bands of lights and darks.
 Energy Emerges Fanne Fernow "Spring at the Vineyard" abstracted bands of textured forms, intricate patterns, encased in natural color. One can almost reach out and pluck the fruit from the vine, truly an inspired piece.
 Spring At The Vineyard Last but certainly not least is the wonderful abstraction of Karen Freedman "Reclamation Blues". The subtle use of color and light in this piece suggest a dreamscape of frozen passages in time. Shrouded by connecting bands of grid-like color barriers, drawing the eye ever deeper, waiting for the mist to clear and catching a glimpse of the future.
 Reclarmation: No More Cross Words This show was well presented by the artists. My hat is off folks, I can't wait to see what happens next.
