Blakelock: By the Light of the Moon Art Exhibit
<p>Forgeries, mental illness, intrigue, and rapid fame—the dramatic circumstances of Ralph Albert Blakelock’s life often overshadow the merits of his work. <em>By the Light of the Moon</em> will feature eight exceptional artworks by Blakelock from the museum collection. Born in 1847, his early paintings were highly detailed landscapes inspired by Hudson River School painters. After traveling to the American West and becoming familiar with Barbizon painters, Blakelock developed the atmospheric landscapes for which he is known. Drenched in darkness and silvery moonlight, his thickly painted landscapes have a distinctive otherworldly quality. This exhibition will explore Blakelock’s body of work and how his interest in spiritualism is reflected in his artistic practice.</p> 2020-11-27 17:00:00 -0600

An Evening with Heather Gudenkauf and Kimberly Stuart
<p>Join Swamp Fox Bookstore on Monday, November 30 at 7 pm Central for <em><strong>free virtual event</strong></em> with authors Heather Gudenkauf and Kimberly Stuart.</p><p><a href="https://www.crowdcast.io/e/swamp-fox-bookstore-heather-kimberly">Register Now</a></p><p><strong><u>About Heather Gudenkauf</u></strong></p><p>Heather Gudenkauf is the Edgar Award nominated, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of eight novels including The Weight of Silence, Not A Sound and This Is How I Lied. She lives in Iowa with her husband and a very spoiled German shorthaired pointer named Lolo. Heather is currently working on her next novel.<br><strong><u>About Kimberly Stuart</u></strong></p><p>Kimberly Stuart grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, where she learned to be snobbish about corn on the cob and good storytelling. She earned degrees at St. Olaf College and the University of Iowa, both fine institutions that did very little to prepare her for the lethal cocktail of parenting and writing.</p><p>Stuart is the author of eight novels, including the Heidi Elliott series, <em>Sugar</em> (Skyhorse Publishing, 2017) and her most recent book, <em>Heart Land </em>(Howard/Simon & Schuster, 2018). Her books have been featured in <em>Cosmopolitan</em>, Huff Post, and <em>Chicago Sun-Times</em>. They have been carried by Wal-Mart, Target, Barnes & Noble, and booksellers nationwide. Stuart has a passion to write chemistry-driven, smart, character-rich romance that requires a reader neither to leave her brain at the door nor to visit a confessional after turning the last page.</p><p>Stuart has made her home in Minneapolis, Houston, Chicago, Costa Rica, Nebraska, and Iowa, where she now lives with her brave husband and three wily children.</p><p>Find Stuart on Facebook, Instagram (kimberly.stuart.writes), and at kimberlystuart.com.</p> 2020-11-10 20:00:00 -0600
