In the pool room of PSC on the first floor, self-taught artist Rik Viola presents a one-person show of wildlife paintings. Squirrels, chipmunks, birds, insects, kitties, and more but DoN‘s favorite is the running wolf accompanied by a crow. Since the wolf is DoN‘s animal totem learning that crows often will work alongside wolves to find and track food was spiritually enlightening. Viola’s exhibit is entitled “Art on the Wild Side” with a broad selection of paintings based on the theme of animal life, the exhibit is on display through 1/3/09.
