Last Saturday night I went with my friend Robin to the Meridian Museum of Art for the People Choice art show and awards. I wanted to share with you some of the interesting highlights of our evening.
The photo below is of Liz, my friend Beth's daughter. She is an art major at the University of Alabama. Liz was one of very few artists that had two pieces selected for the exhibit. This is a picture of her standing next to her self portrait. Her assignment was to do her self portrait in the style of Chuck Close. She gave this to her mom for Mother's Day!
I really loved this quilt. It is covered with labels from clothing. Here is a close-up of the quilt.This is a stained glass piece from Linda of Cotton Patch Studio (I wrote about them on the Lunch with the girls post.)
And here I am with Robin and Beth!

Lunch with the girls!
Last Thursday a group of my friends and I drove to Livingston, Alabama for lunch. They are the best group of friends ever! I am keeping Cooper full time for awhile since his baby sitter had a baby, and they didn't hesitate one bit for him to tag along! After eating at Diamond Jim's, we went to a Farmer's Market and bought a watermelon and tomatoes. On the way back to Meridian, we stopped at the Cotton Patch Studio in York, Alabama.
Below is a mosaic mural on the side of the store that the owners have been working on. Charlie, one of the owners, told us that it is really beautiful at night when the lights from the cars shine on it! This picture doesn't do it justice at all. Here are all of us in a photo that Charlie took. Notice that Cooper is really taking in the mosaic art behind him! I have such a WONDERFUL group of friends!
