  • Wally Workman Gallery: Book of Etiquette

    Tracey Harris uses thin layers of oil paint to create luminous hyper-real images, her creations juxtaposing common objects against classically rendered nudes and uncommon phrases on seemingly academic book spines. We're a bit enamored of this whole thing, and recommend it highly. Through March 30.

    Wally Workman Gallery, 1202 W. Sixth, 512/472-7428
