Last week I found myself attending social events on three consecutive evenings. I haven’t been out that many nights in a row since I was a busy mom driving kids to and from various activities. And don’t tell them, but this past week was (marginally) more fun. I’m not quite a social butterfly yet, but I am a fun-loving caterpillar.
On Wednesday I went to a group painting activity at Painting With a Twist in Tallahassee. Thursday evening I saw Train at Cascades Park. Then on Friday I attended an art show at Florida State University’s Museum of Fine Arts.
One of the women I’ve met through the Tallahassee Women’s Meetup group had a piece selected for the show, and I went to support her.
That’s Martha M. Lord, below, with her oil painting, Spring Haven. The painting was displayed incorrectly. It should have been rotated 90° to the left, and my photo doesn’t do it justice. These manatees make me happy.
I wandered around the event like I knew what I was doing, admiring art, oohing over some pieces, looking bemused at others.

I didn’t get artists’ names on these, but they all caught my unpracticed eye.
The evening was fun. I didn’t turn into a butterfly, but I think it might be time to spin my chrysalis.
Soon….

I like the shoes.

That one was definitely jarring. Bronzed baby shoes lined up in military formation.

That’s odd because they reminded me of the shoes the Chinese Terracotta Army might have left behind.

Interesting! My mind didn’t go there. The little shoes were laid out on a dirt background. My take on it was “we send our babies off to war.” But then, I’m a mom.

I can see that. Art is good for the brain I think.

Thank you. I always feel inadequate when the art is so good.

Nananoyz, I found your post tonight while searching my name online. I was pleasantly surprised to see my art work in the post… thank you! I’ve met your friend Martha Lord on a couple of occasions. She is a delightful, accomplished artist…

I loved your bee art! Had I not met Martha I’d never have been at that art exhibit. Isn’t it wonderful how the world works? My name is Leslie Noyes, by the way. Let’s stay in touch.
