The paintings of Austin artist Linda Kimble are currently on display at Hyde Park Bar & Grill at Duval. Much of Ms. Kimble’s work consists of abstract art in muted colors, some featuring bold, geometric shapes and others blending together mistier, fuzzier images. She has also painted a series of colorful, peaceful longhorns and cows and has lately been working on a series called Austin Asphalt, which incorporates patterns she finds in the pavement of the streets near her home. As her personal website notes, Ms. Kimble was born on her family’s farm in Iowa, where she “gained an early appreciation for landscapes, animals and nature. When most saw cattle and grain fields, she saw colors and textures.” Ms. Kimble mostly works with acrylic on canvas. Her art will be on display at Hyde Park Bar & Grill at Duval through July 16.

Local artist Trish Sierer’s works can now be viewed in the main display space at Hyde Park Bar & Grill at Westgate. After working extensively in jewelry design, Ms. Sierer began drawing in pen and ink, and she also does Japanese wood block art. These pieces, which are mostly black and white, seem to highlight the space in and around the various shapes and lines that make up each image, and the contrast strikingly with the artist’s digital prints, which seem to leap off the surface in bright colors. Ms. Sierer prides herself on using high quality materials, and she states online, “My work tends to be abstract with inspiration coming from patterns I see in nature. The symmetry of palm leaves to the complexity of plants under a microscope [sic].”

Trish Sierer’s pen-and-ink drawings and digital prints will hang at Hyde Park Bar & Grill at Westgate through June 25. To see more of her artwork, visit https://www.trishsierer.com/.

Local artist Sally Fraser’s paintings are now on display in the island space at Hyde Park Bar & Grill at Westgate. Ms. Fraser works in a variety of mediums, including oil, acrylic, cold wax, and mixed media. Much of her art is abstract, but she also paints landscapes, flowers and plants, and human figures. “I paint with my head, my heart, and my hand,” Ms. Fraser says on her website. She enjoys working with texture and layering, and she frequently paints with a palette knife instead of a brush. If you’re looking to enjoy a wide range of subjects, mediums, and color schemes (as well as some delicious food), visit Hyde Park Bar & Grill at Westgate and check out Sally Fraser’s unique works. They’ll be on display through July 1.
