Play Time! Puzzle and color your way through summer. Not quite ready for to create your own art or up for a big challenge? Art by Patricia A. Hawkenson is in puzzle form with less than 330 pieces, and Schaefer Miles Fine Art can keep the fun going longer with 1,000-piece puzzles of some of their most popular paintings! Locally made crayons by Eau My Crayons and fun little pocket coloring kits are just perfect to drop in a purse - simple enough for kids but are actually designed for adults who haven't given up that doodling spirit. Find them all in the gallery!

Look at what our In-House Artists Schaefer/Miles Fine Art have been up to! Wendy and Kevin would love to create something equally magical for you.

There is nothing quite like the moment a painting finds its perfect, forever wall. 💕🎨🎨

We recently had the absolute joy of installing this custom, original oil commission for some incredibly happy collectors. They had a specific vision and a unique space that needed just the right energy, light, and scale. Together, we brought that wall to life.

Every home has a story, and sometimes standard sizes or existing pieces don't quite fit the chapter you are writing. That is where a custom commission comes in. We work closely with you to design a piece tailored to your room’s exact dimensions, lighting, and color palette.

Ready to transform that blank wall you’ve been staring at? Let’s collaborate on something extraordinary. DM us or visit the link in our bio to explore our commission process. 🎨🏡

In-House Artist Renee Ewer will continue to offer carving classes on June 11th and 19th, so watch for those dates for your chance to learn. Today she was test printing some of her latest carvings like this detailed sketch of Nesse, the Loch Ness favorite, and a Parasaurolophus - otherwise known as a Duckbilled dinosaur! This unique animal had a distinctive hollow cranial crest that were possibly used for communication. That's the joy of art. We can communicate in endless ways with a variety of unique mediums. In this case, carving away lines to create lines. There's magic in that! Take a class and uncover the talent you might have buried in the past.

Gorgeous mandalas were painted on damaged vinyl records that were destined for the trash, but now have a new life as decorative art. How fun are these?! It's interesting to read the song titles and think of time gone by while working on the soul soothing repetitious work of painting so many dots! Once the spacing is figured out, various sizes of dotting tools / stylus pens – create precise dots of different sizes. Looks very complicated, but is actually fun and you can get lost in the Zen experience. If you missed this class, but are interested in learning this fun craft, contact the gallery, and we may be able to organize another session.

This is our second visitor who has come all the way from South Carolina to view the work of our local artists! She is from Greenville, South Carolina and in Eau Claire to visit her mother, and we are honored that her mother chose to bring her to our door. They wanted to be photographed next to this colored pencil image that Patricia A. Hawkenson created of the walking trail by River Prairie. It makes us very proud every time to know that with all the amazing things they could choose to share with their visiting family and friends, that we are one of their first stops on their day of exploring the area. Thanks for that compliment, and we will continue to work hard to deserve the honor. We do have fabulous local art to share! Come see for yourself, and yes, bring a friend, as well! :)
