Some Enchanted Evening

It was a magical evening, with beautiful people fighting wind, rain and cold to attend the exhibition opening.  The room was bright, warm and inviting.  A respite from the weather and darkness outside.
"Trading Secrets" - mixed media on press (cabinet) wood.  Inquiries.  Available at the Olive Stack Gallery.

Over the river and through the woods. Past the cemetery and several farms.  Out of town.  My stalwart travel companions were on a mission to make a floral arrangement for Olive's exhibition.  The freezing rain was sleeting into their faces, but with heads tucked down they forged ahead toward the floral shop.  Which they passed miles back, but didn't know because...their heads were tucked down.  But ultimately the flowers were gorgeous and their efforts were grand.  Trina is the flower whisperer.  Shhhh.

There were ooohs and aaahs and red dots, wine, chocolate brussels sprouts (for real!) and laughter.  And art.  Oh!  The art!
What a joyous event for me, with friends across continents meeting for the first time. Friends I've missed (including one delightful girl who understands the fairies much better than I do) shared smiles and hugs and stories..  Connecting in Ireland is a real thing.  People  take the time to care, connect, listen and share.

The opening may be over and the wine glasses tucked away, but the show remains up and you're very welcome to stop by...the weather outside is frightful, but in here it's all delightful!

Great blog, the exhibition looks fantastic. I'm just wondering if the tour guide has any other clothes to wear, every photo that he has be in for the last 2 weeks he's wearing the same clothes. Maybe it's his uniform. He looks good anyway. F&W

ART!

Who can explain it, who can tell you why?
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.

But you at Olive's exhibition, you are Trading Secrets (LOVE the painting-on-panel that you have created, Jen!) wordlessly, celebrating, on this enchanted evening, what you can't tell but can show.

Dotty! Love your words.....and you are right. Sometimes they are inadequate, especially when it comes to enchanted art evenings. :) It's no secret that this night was magical!

Here's the blue wild, where
tiny dreamers ride beasts, speak
​ birdsong, hold the moon.
