MONDAY MUSINGS: Walking to see art can even get me going in a thunderstorm... Actually, the rainstorm arrived earlier than expected on the car trip heading south to Hot Springs, and while I don't ever like driving in a thunderstorm, especially on a highway it ended before our destination...
We had both looked feverishly for a legible map of the artwalk route to celebrate Hot Spring's 37th Art Walk anniversary celebration in Hot Springs. I have to admit the wet prospect probably dissuaded many but we didn't even need our umbrellas. Fortunately, the first gallery did have literature of the places to visit and there was local music besides snacks in the various galleries.
On the 2nd floor art collective, we met several of the artists while perusing the art. Laura, my partner in crime of the day, purchased one of Morse Craig's bowls. Pictured on the left, Morse was kind enough to explain to all those interested how he uses a cake-like mold to retain the bowls' shape before adding resin, sometimes with crushed or whole semi-precious stones. Laura's bowl will have its new home on her dining room table inherited from her Mom.

| My other favorite gallery was this unique gallery space called none other than the Blue Donut... |
Their display of munchies was of course, artistically arranged even if there were no blue donuts
Upon entering we were asked to choose our favorite piece and vote for it after looking at all the art.
I chose the Ridge quilted art scene #10 below as it reminded me of where I used to live with the ridge in the End of the Rainbow Valley.
But much to my dismay, Ms Nilholen's price was beyond my pocketbook as its tag read NFS (not for sale),
It still got my vote!
We didn't even have to walk in the rain to see art, and the two of us left satisfied...
