My friend, Alison, was showing her artwork. We took off for a visit to Carleton Place. Families were out enjoying the sunny day.
There were so many artists, and fine art. It was wonderful.
I really like Alison's art. She is a lovely person, too. We met online through the Otty Lake Association, and the process to prevent the gun range from going in, and finally met in person.

Alison is also showing her art through the Manotick Art Association. These pieces are up at the Greely library. These are my favourites!
The high school celebrated some of their student works. The variety of the art was amazing.
Off we went home. The river is high. People have fences up to keep out debris.

From there we set off for home. More rushing spring waters!
This was Carleton Place, last week after our lunch out. The water is powerful, fast, and ferocious.

Arriving home, and more time in the day, I did some raking of leaves. The garden work is coming along. Hopefully, we get our tree limbs cleaned up today. We just had snacks for dinner. We were pleasantly full!
Off I go, then, Monday morning garbage detail. It's only 9 C., and I shall bundle up! Have a great week.
...the art show looked great!

ReplyDeleteLovely to see local arts and have a new place to take nourishment... Change as good as a rest! YAM xx
I always like seeing what new ideas come from art shows...inspired people display thier efforts in different media. Yep, spring flood waters are all the thing...though this year we've been without, compared to 10 years ago. Glad you had a sunshine lunch!
ReplyDeleteWe made the drive out to L&O once, but it was a long way to go for that sort of food.
ReplyDeleteThe power of that water is scary.
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful art.
ReplyDeleteThe water flows really fast.
Here it is currently 20 celcius.
Greetings Irma

I do love a good art show. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAs I type it is -1C. We are going for a top of 12 or so today.
Good luck with the tree work.
That looks like a wonderful art show!
ReplyDeleteOh what fun! That is very nice picture of yourself. Glad you got out and away from all your chores for a while
ReplyDeleteA fun trip and great photos! I love to go to art shows. Your friend does beautiful artwork. I am glad that no one was hurt when the restaurant blew up. Looks a lovely place and it must have felt so good sitting in the sunshine enjoying a meal. The rushing water in your video looks amazingly powerful.
ReplyDeleteThe waters through the greater part of the Valley are running high.
ReplyDeleteThere is lots of great local art on display. Good that you support it.
ReplyDeleteArt shows are a lot of fun, and your photos tell an enjoyable story about this one.

What a nice outing! The variety of art is fun to see.
ReplyDeleteCatching up! And I probably won't catch everything so I hope I didn't miss too much. But it all looks very good in your world. I love your outing and glad they rebuilt the restaurant.
