Since I didn't attend the opening and banquet, a few friends drove up with me last week to see the show. Between printed maps and 2 Smartphone GPS, we managed to find the gallery! In these situations I am "just the driver". They point me in the proper direction and I get them there, more or less intact! After searching for a parking lot or garage (which didn't work out) it was time to locate a parking slot on the street, somewhat close to the gallery. In order to accommodate 4 people, I drove my husband's car and - just to prove I CAN PARALLEL PARK (even in a car I rarely drive which is bigger than mine) - I took this photo to show my husband and decided to let you all take a gander too! LOL
Anyway . . . back to the show . . . .
First up is a photo of my friend, Tom's, outstanding painting "Where's Your Child?" for which he won an award.
Next is an amazing painting, but it's more than that. This woman somehow paints and QUILTS her paintings! They are amazing, and she seems to win an award each year, as her painting "Earth Song Quilt 7" did this year.
I took a photo of my painting hanging on the wall, but it doesn't show well since it's rather pale. No award for me, though. But at least it made it into the show and it will be in the traveling show.
After viewing the show it was back to the car to load it up with coins so we could find a restaurant for lunch. Much talk and laughter ensured, and then it was back to the car for the long and boring ride back home.- and I didn't miss the very odd little ramp onto I-70/I-270 that they have hidden right next to a proper right turn onto the wrong street . . . . .
Time to plan our next Art Adventure!
