An Art Stroll

Today I was in Patchogue again for an art event because the Patchogue Arts Council keeps planning excellent events. I do love art events, free ones. This one was. It was the Walking Arts Tour of Patchogue for the Patchogue Autumn Arts Fest. I couldn't stay for the poets and musicians because of my sister-in-law's birthday dinner, but I was able to partake in the Arts Tour. There were pieces in the windows along Main Street displaying the creations and collections of local artists. There were wool sculptures that were just so impressive that I thought they deserved their own exhibit. The paintings were very interesting and involved, with an array of colors and techniques. There is a new small gallery called C Squared that has an exhibit with a painting of an elephant that I absolutely love. It is very expressive and it was created by an artist named Dan Wooster. The colors that he uses are so bright and vivid but the image of the elephant is so exact that they just pair wonderfully. I really enjoyed viewing the art and am once again glad that it all came to my neighborhood.
