    The Great Art Class and State Capitol Misadventure

    It all started rather simply. I took an Acrylic Portrait Painting class with my friends. We had an Art Show in our dining room.

    In this photo you see Tango's family. Yeti is there in his role as a Service Dog.

    We were all asked to submit one of our paintings to be showcased at the Minnesota State Capitol.

    We rode on a bus to see our art on display. We had to walk a long way to get into the building. i thought I was gonna die.

    Nobody could mistake that for a cow. That is definitely a nice looking dog.

    Here are the artists from several of our buildings. We were the only ones to see our artwork.

    There was no ceremony or crowd of people to see our work. 

    We thought we might get to talk to a legislator. We sat in the cold, dark gallery, for 3-4 hours. The legislator was busy.

    That's ok, but we shouldn't have had to sit there for so long. It would have been better to ask the legislator to visit us at our "campus" one day.

    We'd already seen our own artwork at home.

    It looks like the art show went well. I really enjoy your paintings! Popeye turned out so good! But they all have such a fun whimsy about them. Nicely done!

    Thanks for  your compliments and support.

    My 98-year-old Dad came to visit for the first time since I moved her 5 years ago.

    Dad's vision is pretty bad. He couldn't see most of my paintings.

    But he spotted Popeye from across the room. "Popeye the Sailor Man!" I was so thrilled.

    Great to hear the family reunion went well, and wow, that's quite an age!

    Thanks. 

    In my building, the oldest resident was 102 or 103. He died a year or so ago.

    That's wonderful he spotted your Popeye! I'm glad you get to see your dad! :)
