Yesterday, Eleanor invited us to view an art collection in the home of a friend. On Sunday, the host Roy held a party to introduce his friends to another friend who is an artist living in New Orleans. Roy mentioned casually to Eleanor that she could come back and bring a friend if she wished. Ken and I were the friends who visited the art collection in Roy's home, along with a repeat visit by Eleanor. It was an amazing experience.
Roy must have more than a thousand paintings hung on every wall of every room in his house. The art was wonderful, mostly done by Mississippi artists. He has six of Eleanor's paintings. The paintings are hung from the top of the walls to the bottom of the walls and on every room and hallway, including bathrooms and kitchen. The art was wonderful and overwhelming. We loved it.
In addition, he has a collection of miniatures, probably at least a hundred, many sitting on tables displayed on small easels as well as on the walls. He has purchased this art directly from the artists, collected throughout his long life. Ken and I enjoyed seeing his art and he enjoyed watching our delight. It was a special treat, all arranged by our friend Eleanor, and we are grateful.
