Perysburg is not a big town. It is also arranged in the typical Midwestern grid pattern and parcel so it should be fairly simple to navigate. Perrysburg is not like Boston, with its maze of diagonal one way streets that make you wonder where all the urban planners of colonial times were..... To get lost for 30 minutes in Perrysburg, Ohio is simply silly....I suppose it comes from my artistic scattered brain, and of not completely listening to proper instructions....sigh....story of my life....
I just had lunch with the Director of the Perrysburg Arts Council to discuss an upcoming show of my self-inflicted " A Painting Every Day" challenge....Of course I took the wrong exit and was 15 minutes late...and after a wonderful lunch of french onion soup, coffee, and conversation, I headed over to the Courthouse and Municipal Building to see the current Black and White Exhibition...(which by the way was OUTSTANDING....I was very surprised by the quality and intricacy of all the works. Somewhere along the course of my wayward art career, one of my art teachers taught me that black paint was BAD, VERY BAD...and never to use it, even for dulling colors...so I have a very limited use for black in my pallete...However, after seeing the works on display, I'm very tempted to break out my full tube of black paint)
Here is a painting of a cow I painted yesterday....White Mountains New Hampshire, a group I "liked" on Facebook gave me permission to use their photo posts for inspiration. New Hampshire is my home state, so whenever I'm feeling homesick, I paint something from their site...
