Sort of stuck on Art and flowers

 


The entrance to the Black Mountain Center for the Arts



Maxfield Parrish, The Mill Pond, 1945

This picture is so calming and just cooling, for when I come in from the hot sunshine outside. Thank heavens for air conditioning too!

I've posted about Juneteenth over on my blog When I Was 69.

    Maxfield Parrish lived around here. He painted a gorgeous backdrop in a local township's town hall that has be carefully cared for all these years.

      Oh that's wonderful to hear. Has the town hall painting been publicized? I'd love to see it.

    With you on the AC! Love those flowerpots on the steps. Maxwell Parrish is a favorite of mine too.

    That is a great idea for a place to visit. It truly is terribly hot.
