Out of the sketchbook
Last week, we profiled Koa Gallery's mixed media miniatures show. This week, we present another art show big in stature and small in canvas size. Here is a peek at some of the hundred-plus pieces on the walls of The Balcony Gallery. Its "Out of the Sketchbook" show, featuring small-scale works by more than 40 artists, offers those with regular paychecks an opportunity to purchase original pieces by serious artists.
Linda von Geldern, co-owner of The Balcony Gallery, says established artists often use the "Sketchbook" show to exhibit new and different works. This year, the gallery has taken the show international by including the works of Antonio Greco, an Italian artist.
"Out of the Sketchbook" runs through Jan. 10. The Balcony Gallery, located in Kailua at 442-A Uluniu St., is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays to Sundays. Call 263-4434.

Susan Hogan's ceramic cats are popular with visitors to the Balcony Gallery. Even folks who aren't necessarily "cat people" love the pieces, von Geldern says.
