LAKEPORT – Lakeport City Hall has a fresh new look thanks to the creative talent of local artist John Eells' colorful abstracts.

The paintings are all on exhibit in the building's lobby where they can be easily viewed by the public whenever City Hall is open.

These thought-provoking works are each quite different and individual and each has it's unique color scheme.

The titles conjure up the mysteries of our universe: "The Seventh Seal," "Untold Riches," "Listen," "Small Wonders."

The Lake County Arts Council invites you to spend some time with these paintings. Wonder about them. Ask them to talk to you. Feel their mystery.

The current one man exhibit in the Lakeport City Hall lobby is part of The Lake County Arts Council's Art in Public Places program.

Paintings by local artists may also be seen throughout the county courthouse and at the Visitor's Center in Lucerne.
