Yes, art is still flowing through my veins, as I appreciated the creations of other artists recently.
The Black Mountain Center for the Arts had it's 25th anniversary recently.
My friend Helen saw the exhibit in the gallery and urged me to see it, so we dropped by the week that the show was to close.
I immediately recognized this Libba Tracey ceramic sculpture. Her style of birds and putting them on wheels!
A nice photograph from Scotland by Susie Sweet, who's a friend from the BMCA ceramic studio where I used to make my pottery. I still don't know the story of the Kelpies.
This was the largest painting in the room, and it offered a multitude of details upon which to ponder.
Those Skeletonized Flax Leaves curving all over caught my attention in this sculpture
If I were to take one piece home (as Helen asked for my choice) this mixed media sculpture doll would be my choice. Her head and hands at least are ceramic. I couldn't check legs or feet, nor the arms which are slightly visible inside her sleeves.
Cheryl Keefer is also active in the Red House Studio, which has a gallery on Cherry St. in Black Mountain.
Helen and the swan. We saw all the writing on the feathers, but weren't quite sure if there were many words. I think if Helen were to take any of the art home with her it would be the painting of the barn to the left in the background.
I say goodbye from the swan and hello to Saturday's Critters with Eileen.
