Lake Powhatan, Asheville, NC
Today our adventure was at the Grovewood Galleries. Many of the artists whose work is shown at the Folk Art Center have their studios at this complex. It is a group of old, well maintained buildings surrounded by outdoor sculpture and many other types of eye candy. We had visited two years ago, but because we had Shelley along, we got the royal treatment. After exercising her, we were bringing her back to the truck when the GM asked about her. He had Shelties of his own and said she was obviously well mannered and that we could take her into any of the buildings! Mike could even sit on some of the fine furniture on display as long as he was with Shelley! There was even a metal sculpture that evoked Shelley sitting in the back seat with the window down.
We reconnected with an artist at the gallery, Tess Darling, who likes paint animals in the wild.
My favorite artist is Penny Jane. I finally got the right light for her mural on the ITLDO:
