art show

Last night was the reception for the "all hung" art show at Montpelier Arts Center. My friend Lynne and I each had a work of art hung there. mine, pictured above, is entitled "The Old Roue" because when I look at this mask, I see a sly old man who has had many love affairs. He's almost winking to me.

Some mutual friends were there and we enjoyed wandering around and critiquing other people's art. This show was open to anyone in Maryland, Northern Virginia or DC who took something in on a specific day. There were 130 entries! Of course, since it was open to amateurs, some of the works were not of best quality. There were a few items that really appealed to me, but I'm not about to buy more art. My walls are way too full already. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take photos of anything except our own items. The exhibit stays up until the end of January.
