This show should be called "Deck the Halls" because the pieces are all small in price and size! Ideal xmas gifts, especially for those art lovers who say they have no more room.  Many of the paintings are safe for small spaces like bathrooms, for example the acrylic on canvas of Pauline Conley, the metal and encaustic works of Sheedy, Falkner and  Derby. These will also stand up in the kitchen thematically as well as being impervious to food spatters! eg. June Anderson's and Erika Olson's still life paintings.

 Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11am to 3pm and Saturday dinners 5 to 9pm. Look at the gallery website for directions and more information :  http://millstreetgallery.blogspot.com/
