April is a great month for art.  If you do one thing this month, you might want to consider a visit to a local gallery or museum, Art Walk, tour or festival.  It might be down the street or make a trip of it to a neighboring city.

The one exhibit that caught my eye is “Paintings About Trees”.  It is showing at Jeffrey Moose Gallery on 5th Avenue in Seattle  through May 3rd.  www.jeffreymoosegallery.com  A great review can be found at http://seattletimes.com/html/thearts/2023182544_treesjeffreymoosexml.html

Other options in the Puget Sound area that you may want to consider are the galleries of:

• Downtown Kirkland www.kirklandartwalk.com
• Gallery Walks in Pioneer Square and the Seattle Art Museum www.firstthursdayseattle.com
• Anacortes Galleries  www.anacortesart.com

• So many to list and yet, so many would make great day trips or a day out  (like Poulsbo, Sequim, Langley on Whidbey Island, Camano Island)

And, this being April, a visit to some of the most beautiful natural art of all, the 31st Annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival  www.tulipfestival.org
