Mt. Emily art gallery Opening

The Art Gallery Opening

They did an award presentation and then started the show. The award was at 5pm and we were told to be there at 5:30pm. The award presentation didn't take as long as they thought. So we were late.
The batiks were beautiful. I remember I did batiks in High School.
There was another quilted wall hanging with tall trees that was well done, very neat and precise. (Debbie Rogers)
There were two black and white photographs called: ‘one with glasses’ and ‘one without of Mt. Emily’. That was funny. You had to read the title to get it. Bruce said does this look blurry to you? I told him yes, dear, read the title and look at the next picture.
Another lady did a collage of Mt. Emily pictures in an 8 x 10 frame. I coulda made one of those:)
There was a 4-H banner with Mt. Emily in the background. (By Sheri Nantz, a lot of work)
Another woman did the four seasons with Mt. Emily. Three of seasons had snow. No, just kidding, we do have 4 seasons here.
The sculpture was a wooden dinner plate with carved utensils called “Dinner on Mt. Emily”. The plate was in the shape of Oregon. Hmmm not what I expected, maybe the wood was from Mt. Emily.
There was a framed poem about Emily and when we arrived a lady was reading her story about Mt. Emily.
There were about 50 people there. Knew some names and faces. It is a different crowd for us.
It was an interesting show with a variety of art forms. Ruth Davenport, the organizer of the exhibit said two more galleries in town want to do the exhibit. The other two galleries are in the old library that is a new art center and a new place that is opening that will be in the tall, 2 story building that was Lester Realty. It may be awhile before I can display my quilted watercolor in our home. We forgot the camera so will take a picture later. It is 18 x 24 inches and titled “Stars Over Emily” How’s that for hoity toity?
Most of the food was gone when we got there. Andrew had part of a sandwich and 2 pieces of cake. Bruce had crackers and cheese. Nancy, my friend, had some fruit dipped in chocolates. I came home and made stir fry.
A friend that works at EOU said this show should be better than a previous one that had all naked ladies... Maybe we should do ‘Nudes on Emily’...
