Grovewood Gallery

  Rainy day which was great for gallery visiting!

We had fun while waiting for the shuttle to take us back up the hill to the Inn


I'm pretty sure this is a Japanese Andromeda bush. But what is that in front of it?

It's a crow holding a golf ball in it's beak.


While it rained pretty steadily, we just waited under the little porch covering for our ride. I liked the tall pine trees. Various metal sculptures are throughout the woods below the road. 

These wind sculptures were lined up along the walkway.

More to come, including a fabric art named "Stained Glass" and the dead fly.

Today's quote:
There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts.
-George Matthew Adams, newspaper columnist (23 Aug 1878-1962)

Looking around the Grovewood Gallery

  

Beautiful hand made cooking implements. Not fly swatters!

Oh my goodness, just look at that fly! Glad to see he's dead! Wonder how that happened...



There were quite a lot of wood-worked items, compared to many pottery pieces they displayed in the past (pre-Covid-times.)

I liked these little boxes with magnetized lids!


These beautiful fabric pieces were just listed with a price tag, and titled "Stained Glass"


I was quite impressed by the hand work on these Stained Glass fiber art pieces.

My friend had tried to get me to lie across this bench for a photo...but she fit much better than I would!


I bought a card by this artist, Jane Voorhees. I was pretty sure I'd seen her work elsewhere in the Asheville/Black Mountain area.

Since I'm mailing the card as a thank you to my son and his family, here's a photo of it!
