We know one of the artists and went to support her and see her work. We went to the wrong building first though, and were 'forced' to wander around and see what-all was there. Doug and I both enjoy found-art and there were some very interesting artists doing that. I was fed and fresh at the time, so I chatted with artists and wondered at the minds that create some of those marvelous pieces. <br /><br />We got to the right building later on and went straight to the far end of the second floor where I friend has her studio. She had a range of projects: strips of colored paper woven with cuttings from a Beethoven score, sculptures of various sorts, paintings, whatever. I like her color sense and some of her shapes spoke to me, too. When left her, we took in several other studios on the way back to the car. My mind's eye is still full of colors and shapes, tapestries, paintings, photographs. I can't imagine how you and Dan can get through three museums in one day; I was exhausted and famished after our little excursion. <br /><br />Honey did very well most of the time. Toward the end she was getting pretty tired, too, and was acting more shyly than usual. On the drive home, we found a crepery that had outdoor seating, so the three of us had dinner there. Honey had her usual dinner - I carry an extra meal for her in the car all the time. Doug and I had savory crepes and he had a smoothie while I had a shake.
