However one is not taken In to her work by any one strong point, balance, color, movement or subject matter, limiting the general longterm enjoyment. Kevin Heisler, at a tender age (someone mentioned 18), has added strength and power to his water colors by applying paint opaquely to a design that Is uncompromisingly strong. Helsler's paintings are realistic in subject matter: portions of old Tahoe pieces, spider webs or a section of tree limb making its way through the melting snow. All paintings are painted with objects no more than three or four feet away giving a personal view of Kevin's subject matter, i One may be sure if Heisler continues to grow artistl-call, the word "great" Is in his grasp.

Another realist in the show is Jeff Nicholson. In the coming year, he will be the recipient of a state grant to paint rural Nevada. His works in this exhibition are water colors of rural Nevada and Mexico. deserted gas stations, wrecked cars left to rust and Mexican landscape of farming communities are pictured In sensitive translucent color. Nicholson has recently changed his style.

Using the same sensitive colors, he now paints mountains, rivers, roads In flat colored areas, thus making the outline of thase areas the leading factor in their true identity. His paintings are good pictorial sensitive paintings, an excellent choice for the state grant. One wonders what would happen if he attacked nls work with more aggressive vigor, whether he could add life to his already living scenes. Ths four-man show remains on view until July 2.

RILEY The Nevada Art Galleries exhibition New Directions: Works on Paper, by Dennis Buonanoma, Jeanne Fox, Kevin Weisler, and Jeff Nicholson, is a good one-room show of four local professional artists. Dennis Buonanoma Is represented by one non-objective design. Buonanoma, known for his extreme changes, has taken another zig from his last zag and produced a melodically balanced triptychs similar in technique to the painted string-pulling of grammar school years. He has, however, left the strings intact, giving additional texture to the already textural handmade paper and also giving a rhythm quality, as in script music, to this horizontal work. Review Patches of faint color running overall laterally give a feeling of suspended movement with limited tension or energy.

This work is overall enjoyable but subtle, perhaps too much so. Jeanne Fox, one of the artists shown In the gallery's opening show, was perhaps not given due criticism. She portrays mountainous terrain, shapes and textures with translucent water color, burnt sienna with a little payne's grey and hints of manganese blue to perhaps reflect sky on the moist high mountain rocks. These shapes are enclosed in rectangular forms set on paper for best possible balance or mountain ruggedness. Ms.

Fox has appropriately tittled her works with geological terms, reinforcing her paintings' general feeling.
