BOUNTIFUL — Art can make you look at the world in all kinds of different ways.

At Lamplight Gallery in Bountiful (170 S. Main), November featured artist M. Charlene Hill and guest artist Rebecca Mann use stylistic choices to offer very different perspectives on the world around them. Their work will be on display throughout the rest of the month (an artists’ reception on Nov. 20 from 6-9 p.m.), giving residents plenty of opportunity to explore the differences for themselves.

Hill’s work has an almost surprising crispness to it, full of items so solidly realized that the paintings at times seem almost more real than photographs. The painted worlds seem to share the same air as the gallery, as if the size of the frame was the only thing keeping you from crawling inside paintings like “California Bound” and rummaging through the back of an old truck, or petting the soft nose of the calf in “Sweet Red.”

An even bigger surprise is Hill’s palette, which uses shades of brown as a base and incorporates other colors on top of it. The results are nicely rich and perfect for her western subjects, leaving it almost impossible to detect that the artist is colorblind.

“She uses fresher colors because she doesn’t see things in a typical way,” said Mary Anne Loveless, another artist at Lamplight.

Mann’s art has a softer touch to it, each work filled with a gentleness and light that immediately bring the word “romanticism” to mind. Her subjects only strengthen that impression, from the quiet bend of a dirt road in “Country Road” to the ornamented, sunlit sidewalks in “Park City.” There are also a few portraits of women, each with the soft light and flowing hair that have always been romanticism’s calling cards.

It’s the smaller details, however, that ground Mann’s work. From the tiny figures moving about their lives in “Spanish Stairs” to the well-crafted hands in “Sitting Pretty,” it’s this attention to the finer points of a scene that keep Mann’s work from floating away in a dream.
