Posters in the window of the Lincoln Art Institute for the current art opening, “From the World of Books,” and for the annual Young Artists Show that takes place in May. “From the World of Books” poster was created by Mitch Douglas.


“War and Peace and Tolstoy” by Tony Shuff inspired by the Russian classic “War and Peace.”

 

 

“Speedy Reader” by Bev Noble. “I can read with my eyes shut” by Dr. Seuss is the inspiration for Bev’s work.
 

“Pride and Prejudice” by Deborah Owens. An elegant rendering from Jane Austen’s masterpiece.
 


“Remembering Ernest” by Suzanne Faulkner. Faulkner found her inspiration in “Islands in the Stream” by Papa Hemingway, one of his last novels set during World War II.

 


“Socked In-Unchuck, British Columbia” by Pam Moriearty, inspired by “Milestones on Vancouver Island” by C. Lyons.

 


“Biblio-wallets” by Nancy Raulings Saul. Each wallet expresses a different literary theme. Nancy combines art and practicality as each wallet can be slipped into a pocket or purse and will hold cash, credit cards, and an ID. Think how cool it would be to pull one of these unique wallets out of your pocket at the supermarket check-out.

 


Artists and guests mingle around art and a sumptuous spread of appetizers for an elegant opening night at the Lincoln Art Institute. Margie Douglas brought a bow tie pasta salad that was a hit. Nancy Rollings Saul’s cherry strudel always had a crowd around it. Pam Shuff supplied a very tasty egg salad in place of her usual everything deviled eggs. Pam Moriearty brought a cheese board with all sorts of selections.

 


Artist Cheryl Spove and Ron Keller discuss her love for the poetry of Walt Whitman. Ron mentioned that Whitman was a great admirer of Abraham Lincoln, and noted in his writings that Whitman always waved at President Lincoln when he passed in his carriage.
