Safe Harbor

Join us at Mr. Helsinki’s in Fish Creek, Thursday 5-7,  for the opening reception of Margaret’s show there…  It’s really quite stunning!

Last year's opening

Door County Magazine’s BEST OF… issue will be out soon.  We’re thrilled that readers have voted Woodwalk Gallery, Door Conty’s second best gallery.

The ethereal Door County landscape paintings of Margaret Lockwood will be featured at an exhibit at Mr. Helsinki’s Restaurant in Fish Creek beginning October 16^th, 2011.  There will be an opening reception of the exhibit on Thursday October 27^th from 5 to 7 PM.

Lockwood is known throughout the Midwest for her often large scale abstract paintings of trees, skies and water.   She says about them, “We are surrounded by the beauty of this peninsula with its weathered shores, dramatic skies and mysterious woods.  I take it all in then paint my memories, impressions, emotions and  relationship to them from my studio.  My desire is to capture the spirit of our home and the moments of our lives here.  I try to create welcoming spaces that bridge reality and abstraction.  At some point though my paintings become more about color, atmosphere and space in the abstract rather than about specific landscapes or memories.”

More of Lockwood’s paintings can be seen at her studio at Woodwalk Gallery which will be open by appointment November through April, and is open daily May through October.  Please call  920-868-2912 or go to www.woodwalkgallery.com.  Woodwalk Gallery is located at 6746 County Road G, 5 miles south of Egg Harbor and 2 miles north of Carlsville on Highway 42, just toward the Bay from  Shartner’s Farm Market.

Colette Odya Smith

This month we feature the outstanding work of Colette Odya Smith.  Colette works in oil pastel over water color for dynamic, vibrant pieces often deftly handling the complexities of moving water.  Her work has been featured in regional and national pastel publications.  She is on the faculty at Peninsula School of Art and has been represented by Woodwalk Gallery since 1998.

It was a great month at Woodwalk!

Sales were strong, the Bucket of Rain concerts were sold out 4 of the 5 nights, each of the 4 weddings was spectacular and even the weather was perfect.

Your personal invitation

The Saturday, October 1st Grand Opening of the new Door Peninsula Winery and Distillery in Carlsville will feature an exhibit coordinated by Allin “A Day In The Life of Door Peninsula Winery.”

10 photographers spent a day on their new campus photographing nooks and crannies, production lines and staff, buildings and sales areas.  Then each photographer chose one of their own photos and jurors chose a second the be printed and exhibited in the show.

Join us for the festivities and vote for your favorite… one photographer will receive a $500 first prize based on the voting.
