The Public is invited to an exhibition and sale of art by longtime member Carolyn Liedtke at the Dwight Foster Library, 209 Merchants Avenue, Fort Atkinson, WI. Library hours are Mon-Thurs 8 am to 8 pm, Friday 8 am to 6 pm, Saturday 9 am to 2 pm

Here is Carolyn’s Invitation:

During the entire month of December, I will be exhibiting more than thirty of my watercolors at the Dwight Foster Public Library, 200 Merchants Avenue, in Fort Atkinson. I am grateful to the Arts Alliance of Greater Lake Mills for arranging this exhibition and helping with the hanging. Since I have sold my home and closed my gallery in Lake Mills, many of my paintings must find good homes, so I’m pleased to have this opportunity.

There will be a Reception on the closing day of the exhibition— Saturday, December 30, from 12 noon to 2 pm—when pur- chasers can pick up their paintings and everyone can enjoy a glass of apple cider and nibble chips.

Many of the paintings are landscapes. Most of these were painted on location in Wisconsin and other places that I have visited in the United States and around the world.

Wayside Farm was painted looking through my car wind-shield before this pleasant landscape morphed into a shopping mall. Nowadays, these paintable scenes are few and far between.

I love adding wildlife to my landscapes, like this majestic Gray Heron, gliding gracefully over Rock Creek.

There are a few florals; most have been sold, but there are still some nice ones, like Sunflowers ala Vincent, my watercolor version of Van Gogh’s iconic masterpiece, with sunflowers from my own garden.

I hope that you will come to what will probably be my last exhibition. And if you have no more wall space, please, please bring a friend who has.

Love, Carolyn Liedtke
