John Knight's work will be on display at the Donna Chase Gallery at Clark Home from October 16 to November 25. A reception and colored pencil demostration will take place on Wednesday, October 24, from 2 until 3:30 p.m. John is no stranger to the Chase Gallery. He is returning with an exhibition of colored pencil art in which he pushes the limits of a simple medium. By layering, the waxy binders of each color create a sheen similar to oil paintings. The collection includes still life, botanical studies, landscapes, and liturgical compositions.
