Addie K, you'd be proud...

of us. Tonite Dad and I went to an ART EXHIBIT reception and opening at the Fleming Museum. Featured was New Turf, artists depicting landscapes in the abstract. We really liked Jane Fine's work Sugar Time.

I'm posting a link to Gail Salzman's paintings. Just click on the title of this post to see "Convergence," one of her artworks. Seeing the art on a flat screen, of course, in no way does it justice.

There was also a new exhibit of tea cups and tea pots through the centuries, and another landscape-related display by an artist named Hewitt who used Vermont dirt for the pigment in his paints. (An interesting technique, but I found his work rather dull compared to that in New Turf.)

I do hope Nancy S gets to the Fleming. Her art reflects nature so beautifully; she may be interested in seeing the landscape works.

1. the teacups sound especially interesting - I love tea and it would be nice to see the exhibit.

2. you should tell Nancy S about the exhibition if you think she would enjoy it. Maybe her current art student Eli (?) would like visiting it?

I should mention that it was I, Adriene, that posted the entry above!

Adriene, The tea exhibit will be there until Dec 16, so you will have the opportunity to see it if you are home before then. Yes, we will tell Nancy about the show.
