Today being the day my cleaning family comes and I go out, I went to one of the three libraries I use, the township one with the gallery I founded.
And here's what's in the gallery
It's an energy packed show, worth visiting if you're local.
While I was there a young father came by with a toddler, to show him the artworks, and I was so pleased. This is exactly why I wanted the gallery, right in the library, so all ages could experience art casually, no big deal, no gatekeeping, parents can bring kids without worrying about criticism. Great stuff.
While I was there I took a look at the puzzle collection and here's one of our donations, Rose
See it there? The high jinks puzzle. The rest are out on loan.
Once home the Misfits box arrived, lovely young man always insists on lifting it into the house, warning me to be careful lifting it. I dropped a line of appreciation to his company today. So much better than the FedEx throw it down and run procedure.
So no picture outside, because he put it here
And it's a small haul this week, lovely free range eggs. They really do taste and look so much better than the battery type. With any luck the chickens feel better, too.
You up for a Haggard Hawks puzzle?
You started something good et the library, and they have kept it up. ✔
ReplyDeleteChildren are so wonderfully free and confident in their artistic expression, aren't they! I adore that first grader's cat (tabby? tiger?). I love going to grade school art exhibits whenever I can find one. The quality of some of the high school art can be quite jaw-dropping.
ReplyDeleteThe stripy kitty is my personal best in show! And there's some terrific art by teenagers. We have an excellent art faculty in our school district, which doesn't hurt.
DeleteThose are indeed nice socks. (I can knit socks too, but only slowly.)
ReplyDeleteSpeed doesn't matter, if you wear them a long time, once completed. These are very comfortable.
DeleteThe enjoyment people get from admiring art does not end!
ReplyDeleteYes. It's so good to be introduced to exhibited art from an early age.
DeleteCrafty clue there, which I missed!
DeleteYou must feel so pleased when you see such a show and know that you had a hand in it being there. I embiggened the pictures so I could see the art better and am amazed at the creativity of the kids. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a good feeling. And this month's show is full of really good work, from all ages.
DeleteThere is a lot of talent there. I hope your heart is bursting with pride at starting it all off.
ReplyDeleteI can think of a couple of answers if I am on the right track. I could ask the lovely gentleman who took care of my cabin when travelling to bring me a meaty meal made in a particular utensil.
Never any lack of talent in any community. It just needs a chance. You may want to take another look at the puzzle though.
DeleteI enlarged your pictures to go through the submissions as closely as possible. That is a fine display of art work.
ReplyDeleteIt's a strong show
DeleteIt’s wonderful that so many students entered their art. Great for their self esteem.
ReplyDeleteEvery year there's Student Art Month, in March. I think the pandemic changed it and this is the new version. Nice opportunity for students.
DeleteThe gallery is working so well, Boud. What a wonderful legacy!
ReplyDeleteI hope some of those students carry on and become well known artists.
ReplyDeleteI think I get the pattern in your quizzes but can never think of a word!
There's a lot of talent around here, and a lot of artists, known to varying degrees. I hear you about the pattern, but what's the word. There have been a couple of good clues in the comments
DeleteThe art is wonderful! Every library should offer such space for kid art...Impressive.
ReplyDeleteIt's refreshing to see spontaneous work from kids, and I agree, can't get too much.
DeleteI always appreciate a conscientious delivery person! The artworks from the school are wonderful. I'm so impressed at the quality of student art these days -- I see it at the school where I work, too.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's because there's better teaching now? There's certainly a great output.
DeleteI would be very happy to visit the gallery, the art looks fun and there is talent. I was going to say those are the socks, then I read the next line and they are! We will be seeing what you do with this box of goodies, I hope.
ReplyDeleteI expect so. I'm glad you recognized the socks, also impressed.
DeleteCould it last forever? What wonderful artwork and how fantastic to have it all displayed.
ReplyDeleteSneaky clue there!
DeleteI need a Misfit in my area! Love the socks!
ReplyDeleteCheck it out, you may have one, they're all over the US now.
DeleteI figured out the common element in the word puzzle but doubt my brain this early could come up with the word. you should be so proud of the art gallery in the library. It's such a big space! I really liked the ceramic sculpture framed.
ReplyDeleteThere were some great clues in earlier comments which might help you get the puzzle.
DeleteAnd, yes, it's very nice to see the continuing success of the gallery. It's ensured continuity in the local art world because it's a focal point (!)
