Bloomin Tuesday and Last Saturday Continued...

Last Saturday we traveled to Winters, CA...maybe 20 minutes from

home up I-5.I wanted to check out this art gallery that my friend, Cherryene told me about.

If you look very carefully you can see me going toward the door. There was quite an eclectic variety of art there including many paintings and sculpture. This metal art structure is my contribution for Blooming Tueday this week!

I was drawn to these heart mosaics

and their wonderful words filling them. Thought they looked great on the red wall.

These tiles were made for stepping stones in the garden

but I am not sure I could step on them

And I thought of saving the gallery cat for

animal Wednesday, but he really belongs in this post!

This table caught my eye with its ceramics;

but especially the little Chinese figure carrying water buckets,

as my grandmother had the same figure in her home

when I was growing up in the 40's and 50's. I like that green pea pod too.

I have emailed the owners photos of my art quilts to see if this is a potential next stop

for them or not. They did not have any textile art at all on display.

And a young woman working there said they'd tried some quilts there once a long time ago,

but they did not sell. I told her mine were contemporary art quilts

and hoped they'd give them a chance.

I haven't heard anything yet.

So we shall see.

If not here...then onward ho!

It's fun finding all these art galleries close to home.

Wishing you all a happy Bloomin' Tuesday.
