Ten Views

• What: Work by 10 artists on a theme of landscape (Jeff Aeling, Joellyn Duesberry, Stephen Dinsmore, Jean Gumpper, Tracy Felix, Sushe Felix, Greg Navratil, Armin Muhsam, Timothy Murphy and Debra Salopek), with new work by Ron Trujillo in the mezzanine

• Where and when: William Havu Gallery, 1040 Cherokee St.; through Sept. 8

• Many views: In this summer's spirit of all things landscape, Havu Gallery has assembled a group show including artists from the stable as well as "introductions" of work by Muhsam, Murphy and Salopek.

So much on the walls - is the word, perhaps even too much, it's that crowded - will be familiar, including stylized and precise scenes by Tracy Felix, colorful abstracted interpretations by Sushe Felix, lush and colorful works by Duesberry and strong horizon lines by Aeling. (Both Felixes and Duesberry also are represented in "Landscapes of Colorado.")

But intriguing new views also abound, including land- and cityscapes by Muhsam with a refreshing hard edge, and glowing skyscapes by Salopek that carry an inner light.

Some careful editing might have given work here more room to breathe, but "Ten Views" certainly provides its own chapter in the landscape chronicles of 2007.
