Burnsville

Pastel Society exhibit

The Lake Country Pastel Society's member exhibit, called "Toward the Light," is being offered at the Ames Center gallery in Burnsville.

Sally Johnson, director of the Groveland Gallery in Minneapolis, judged the show and presented awards during an opening reception.

Pieces include landscapes, still lifes and other works using mainly pastel.

"The qualities of soft pastel result in unique and beautiful works of art," the society said in announcing the exhibit. "The show asks viewers to share in the sense of radiance and illumination that we try to portray in our work. Whatever the subject, we paint not so much with pigment but with luminous energy."
