Walk into the Columbus Arts Council gallery over the next two months, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by bright, bold colors, familiar Southern landscapes and black-and-white portraits of man’s best friend.
And if you spend enough time looking at the art, you might start to see a little bit of the artist behind the canvas, the camera lens or the brushstrokes.
