A painting for the season

There's just a little over a week left to see the exhibit of works by graduating art studio majors at Bloomsburg University's Haas Gallery, which ends Saturday, Dec. 17.

The show includes conceptual installation pieces as well as works in traditional media such as printmaking and painting.

This painting, "The Flood," by Ralph Hinkle seems to me to suit the mood of this fall particularly well. The photo really doesn't do justice to his handling of paint. Hinkle, a Danville native, is exploring the possibility of pursuing graduate school in art history or a masters of divinity within Buddism or AmeriCorps.

The exhibit also includes work by Kelly Geist, Coal Township; Kristen Griesacker, Littlestown; Natalie Nickol, Yardley; and Keith Seaman, Newport. The Haas Gallery is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from noon to 2 p.m.
