MUSEUMS

In the Mezzanine Gallery, from the Leigh Yawkey Woodsen Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin comes A Reflective Nature, a show of 50 artworks from their permanent collection. Calm, mirrorlike surfaces reflecting surrounding landscapes. Rolling waves gently lapping the shore. Swirling eddies churning up foamy swells. Crashing surf stirred by storms at sea. Water, in its many forms and temperaments, has inspired artists for centuries. Light, color, and texture are just a few devices used to represent water in A Reflective Nature. As you study these works, take note of how each artist has used his or her style to create images of water and birds.
