Hometown Art

I really enjoy visiting art galleries and museums when traveling.  But, lucky for me, there’s also some very interesting art in my own backyard.

A recent visit to the Foosaner Art Museum’s Education Center, brought me face to face with some great art!

Like “Oak Shadow,” by Fahan Sky McDonough.  The light, indeed, created beautiful shadows.

And here’s the detail shot.  If you’ll click on it, you’ll see some of the gold thread she’s used.

This next piece, “63 Notes” was really hard to photograph.

The adjacent gallery had work by Marlis Newman.

Although both galleries are tiny, it was definitely worth walking through the door!

What arsty things are going on in your neck of the woods?
