Lucia Heffernan’s “Lunch”
BOUNTIFUL — With all this colorful, lively, wonderful art squeezed into one place, your only wish will be that there had been a few more square feet they could have thrown open.

The Bountiful/Davis Art Center had a record number of entries at this year’s Statewide Art Competition, which assured that only the best, brightest, and most appealing made it into the companion exhibit running now through April 1 at the art center.

Every corner of the building, from the spaces behind desks to the children’s room off the north gallery, is full of lively, interesting art that will make you want to explore every inch.

Classic flower paintings have never looked better, richly delicate or bursting with color. Cliff Bergera’s collection of blossoms are like miniature slices of the rainbow, glowing with an internal light, while James Forbush’s “Blossoms” is a fragile tangle of green and coral that makes you want to run your fingers through it.

Sherrie Southwick added a gentle touch of the abstract with her “Amaryllis Waltz,” using what looks like weaving to break down the petals into individual blocks of bold, rich red in sunshine yellow.

For those with more traditional tastes there are also several lovely takes on the classic landscape, including Alana Winegar’s corridor of trees that she calls simply “Light.” Elsewhere in the exhibit, Winegar celebrates the beauty of an open, clear sky in her “Haight Creek Trail.”

Fans of three-dimensional work will have plenty to cheer about as well. Eru “Ed” Napia contributed some of his well-known pots, graceful and subtly textured, and Marv Poulson finds the waves inside chunks of stone.

Janelle Call Davis’s “Gatsby in the Moonlight” embraces the color of some of the two dimensional works, though you don’t need to know a thing about the book to imagine a thousand stories for the woman standing in the beautiful garden.
