Art weekend

On Friday night we went to Gallery Night; an evening where art galleries and museums stay open late to show off art, let you meet artists and munch on snacks. Our two favorite places were Reneeglass, a very nice glass studio run by Renee Miller, and an exhibit by Sue Medaris at the Central Public Library. On Saturday we borrowed Margret's boat and headed down to the UW Terrace to see a different type of art show. Artists painted about a dozen canvas sails and then the boats tacked and jibed in front of the Terrace. This photo is of one boat. The regatta is part of the Mami Wata exhibit on African water spirits at the Chazen Museum of Art. Tomorrow Anne and I drop of our work to be exhibited in a Northside Artists Group show, "Art of the Marsh." The theme - Cherokee Marsh, which is where we live so it's all about home.

Here are our entries, though the photos did not come out too good. We will take more pictures when the show goes up. The three photos were taken by Anne down by our dock. Ack's is an abstract pastel of a red-wing in the marsh.
