Northwestern College will display watercolor paintings by Orange City artist Judy Thompson in an exhibit scheduled for January 7th through February 29th.  “Boundless” will consist of a collection of watercolors created during time spent on the Great Plains of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.  A public reception with Thompson will begin at 7 pm on Wednesday, January 15th.

Thompson uses vivid colors and expressive line work in her paintings, sometimes beginning with a drawing made with paraffin wax.  The was resists the paint applied over it, creating textured lines that characterize the earthiness of the land.

The Te Paske Gallery is located in Northwestern’s Korver Visual Arts Center along Highway 10 in Orange City.  Gallery hours are 7:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Sunday.
