If you’re planning a Costco run, you might want to schedule it for Thursday, April 19.

Ketchum artist Donna Pritchard will have an artist reception from 6 to 8 p.m. that evening at the Yellow Brick Café in Twin Falls.

Those who attend will be able to see Donna’s “WHIMSY,” which she’s entered in the ART & SOUL competition, a two-week event held every year.

Pritchard’s paintings take viewers from the “Outer Limits” to a “Kundalini Awakening.”

As a former belly dancer, she swirls as she paints and dances as the colors swirl and spiral around her.

“When I’m working, it’s like being inside a tornado, like being in the center where it’s very calm,” she said.

Enjoy a beverage or stay for dinner—the food is superb, advised Pritchard.

The Yellow Brick Café is located at 136 Main Ave. North in Twin Falls. It boasts a menu featuring everything from curry to cold pork belly tortillas and Hokey Poke Ahi Salad
