Monday the house cleaners were scheduled so I booked a Lyft ride to the library, just to get the hang of it. Nice driver Mamadou showed up bang on time, and we had a quiet ride. He was listening to a radio program on public radio, all good!
This will work. I managed to navigate the app, update my payment and from now on I won't book ahead, just when I need the ride. Like going home today. I can try Uber too, and compare prices. So I Lyfted home again, prompt pickup. Next rides I'll try Uber to compare prices.
The exhibit in the gallery is Liz Aubrey, an artist I probably ought to have heard of but oh well. Evidently well known around Trenton. I included the qr code for more info. Please let me know if it works for you. I tested it using my phone to scan tablet image and it worked for me.
I was a little underwhelmed but did make a few pictures for you. You may love her and follow whatever she has online.
The two upper are small acrylic works, and the last two are tiny, mixed media on coffee filters. I don't know anyone who uses coffee filters for their purpose. I've dyed and woven and spun and knitted them. And here's a painter using them as a canvas.
Her acrylics are very American in feeling, and the coffee filter paintings are oddly European in affect.
Meanwhile winter painting is on the library windows, and I've found that the artist is Madison Mark.
This is the first exhibit of the new concept, of using the library building as a canvas. Here's a shot from inside at night
Happy day everyone, I hope there's a lift in your day, too.
I got another lift when I got home and found my cleaning family had hung gingerbread stars here and there, in spaces where I'd had art but never removed the hangers.
So they've started my decorating
And freecycle continues to supply comic relief
