This Saturday is the monthly Ballard Art Walk, from 6 to 9 p.m., and as usual, there will be plenty of wonderful art to look at on what looks to be a nice sunny evening.

During the Art Walk, artists open their studios to the public and neighborhood businesses host local art on their walls. The Ballard Art Walk showcases painting, glass art, sculpture, performance, and more, in venues from Leary Way to Shilshole, and as far north as 65th.

Subtle Beauty by Christy Kruse

From Ballard Art Walk: "Christy Kruse has been studying classical art, traditional and digital photography and videography locally and around the world for more than a decade. She is recognized as an intuitive artist who is able to capture emotion and subtle beauty.

After the sudden passing of her father, she dedicated her work to capture the beauty of life and its most precious moments. Moments that are treasured and cherished—as seen through her eyes and heart and lend an appreciation to the miracles around us."

Krus's art will be on display at Filthy Rich of Seattle (5402 22nd Ave NW).

Pencil drawings by Gordon Lambert

Working with pencil and paper, Lambert enjoys drawing letters, words, and blocks of text in an attempt to explore the act of reading and to depict the mind/eye connection and process involved in it.

His work will be showing at Art & Soul at 2860 NW Market St.
