Two days left till school starts, and we have a great local activity for you and youngsters. Dog River Library hosts local artists each month to showcase their work at Douglas County’s newest and unique looking Library near the Fairplay community. August features local artists Ernie Hendrix and Jo Aldridge. The Piece you see above is from Ernie Hendrix entitled “October Glory”. Some more info:
Local artists Ernie Hendrix and Jo Aldridge are the featured artists this month at the Dog River Library. Both artists paint in watercolors and acrylics and have varied subject matter. Ernie began painting when she retired about 3-1/2 years ago and has won several awards at juried shows. She loves painting old, rusty automobiles. Jo has been focusing on painting for 3-4 years and paints a wide variety of subjects. She also has won several awards at juried art shows. Â Both artists say that their love of color is what draws them to this art form.Â
This event is coordinated by the Douglas County Art Guild and is available for viewing in the community room at Dog River Library. Everyone is invited and of course the event is free for everyone young and old! So head down to the Dog River Library, located on Hwy 5 just south of the Dog River about 2 miles north of the intersection with Hwy 166. Great selection of books for the kids and great art for everyone!
