PANDEMIC ENTERTAINMENT

I hope you’re all discovering captivating activities to amuse yourselves during this time.

Thought I’d share some up-to-date news from apartment living.  

Don’t judge.

In an effort to hang on to our sanity a little longer, we’ve been making the most of all that nature provides.

This pandemic has taught us many things, including a science lesson in real time:

                                                  Observing Spider Behavior
We watched her weave her web only to have it destroyed by wind and birds.  (a lesson in engineering)
We watched her rebuild, undaunted.  (lesson in fortitude and resilience) 
Watched her trap flying insect pests that have long been feasting so greedily on our balcony potted plants. (a lesson in resourcefulness and shopping-made-easy)
Watched as she lured her mate, watched her mating, then watched her eat her mate!  (no comment, but we definitely learned something)
Yep, a Halloween Horror story played out on stage, all in clear view from our glass doors, just in  time for Halloween!

The 2020 OPEN JURIED PENINSULA ART LEAGUE SHOW is on-line this year at https://onlinegalleryshows.com/collections/2020-open-juried-show-peninsula-art-league

Like you, we're all hoping this virus will retreat soon so we can return to 

normal, which includes viewing art the old fashioned way, up close and 

intimately.  We can all emerge from this with a renewed spirit, a little 

richer in gratitude and a little wiser in all the ways that matter.

SAVING TREES = SAVING OURSELVES

Lyrics By The Lake, Pastel

This is a group show of a broad interpretation of trees
by artists working in many different styles and mediums.
We're all becoming acutely aware of the importance of trees in the life of our planet.
Stop by the gallery and celebrate our TREES.
