Walking to Art

Currently we are in College Station, Texas; Handy Randy’s hometown. The Wanderer is taking a rest while we are hanging out at my mother-in-law’s house near the campus of Texas A & M University. When visiting I love walking the many paths and sidewalks around town. One of my favorite walks takes me to the J. Wayne Stark and The Forsyth.  art galleries on the A & M Campus.

Currently in the Starks gallery is the Frames of Mind Exhibit



as well as works by Fredrick Carter, a former architecture student at Texas A &M.


Reduction of architectural structures to their basic forms.

Exhibiting in the Forsyth are works by Joseph Henry Sharp, a popular Native American Artist in the early 20th century.
As often is the case, my favorite exhibits are those of the students; probably because of the diverse styles and mediums.

It was a bit serendipitous to find what looks like an arrangement of polymer clay canes, 





as I have recently renewed my interest in working with polymer clay by joining the Polymer Clay for Newbies, Not so New and Tips and Advice Facebook Page

On Tuesday we will point The Wanderer east and head toward home and back to The Underground. I must admit I am looking forward to returning to the studio where I can display my WIPs (works in progress) to evaluate, critique and make changes. (Now if I can discipline myself to not try to play with all the cool supplies I have hoarded; think art papers, craft paint, resin, scrapbook/card papers, fabric, wood, you name it. Oh the nemesis of AADD!)
