Since we have been living in Nova Scotia, we have been acquiring art produced by local artists. Bit by bit we have filled our walls with beautiful pictures. We have discovered many artists living within 50 miles of our home. Last year, our friend Frances was attending a party. She asked if she could come all by herself so she could take a good look at the art quietly. When the rooms are filled with people, she has had trouble focusing on the walls. Today was the day.
Yesterday I invited her to come for lunch today at 1:00 but to come at 11:30 so she could view the art all by herself, quietly with no interruptions. So she did and it was a great success. On the main level, Frances asked me questions about the artists and where we acquired the pieces. I enjoyed looking carefully at the beautiful pieces, big and small. When she went upstairs, she was on her own. She loved our big crow by Bernie, also the pigs by the sea, painted by Denise's sister Kate Holmes.
The event was also a time for Dave and Irene to see Frances again. Our lunch was delightful: seafood chowder with a salad and crackers, and cookies and tangerines for lunch. I am always amazed at the number of artists we enjoy in Nova Scotia. Frances is too.
