Yesterday, it was all about the Sandhill Cranes at the Open Space Visitor Center here on the westside of ABQ. As I posted yesterday, it was wonderful to be able to see all the gorgeous scenery that is the southwest ... and we had the extra bonus of being able to go to a killer art show while we were at it.
There were these incredible paintings by Cynthia Wister Welch... which I absolutely adore.
There were stunning silk paintings, quilts, scarves, and note cards by Judith Roderick...
(and also the quilt shown at the top of this post)
There were also demonstations on origami, tin art, and silk painting (shown above)... as well as a guided nature walk, and presentations of original art, photography, and even a local author (Mary Chloe Schoolcraft Saunders).
PLUS... all the gorgeous natural displays and artwork that is a staple of the Open Space Center.... and a special presentation of art pieces by the artists at the VSA North 4th Art Center; like this fabulous piece by Linda Plageman (below).
If you get the chance... I highly recommend a visit...
