November Brings New Art from JR Harke at Village Plaza Art Gallery in Fairfax

The November 2009 show at the Fairfax Art League's Village Plaza Gallery in Fairfax, Virginia includes landscapes presented by Jerry Harke, an internationally acclaimed photographer from Northern Virginia.

"This month's theme at the gallery focuses on smaller pieces of art that are perfect gifts for Christmas giving. Now is the right time of the year to get the best choices of art for the Christmas season. The work I have showing at the Village Plaza Gallery November was photographed in Montana and in Italy," Harke said.

Harke's work knows no limits when it comes to landscapes. "I have always been fascinated by the idea of ghost towns from the old west and one of my favorite images at the gallery in November is one I call ... simply ... Ghost Town. In the same vein as the ghost town interest, I also find old abandoned cars are so very interesting because they have stories to tell. In that vein, one of my pieces on display in November is called The End of the Road.

The third piece on exhibit in November is called Sienna Courtyard Walls. To capture this image, I got down on my back on the ground in the middle of a beautiful structure in Sienna, Italy. The picture is taken straight up toward the sky and the walls of the courtyard provide a most amazing artistic affect."

Harke says, "I especially enjoy showing my art at the Village Plaza Gallery in Fairfax, Virginia. The league is comprised of a wonderful group of artists who have extended a warm welcome and the patrons who visit the gallery have been very complimentary."

Located in the heart of old-town Fairfax with a host of exciting new stores and top-notch eateries surrounding it, the Village Plaza Gallery is found in an area that is a perfect place to shop, eat and enjoy art.
