Views of the Neighborhood – Art Display at Lakeway City Hall – Char Michelson

We are heading to Lakeway City Hall again to view a colorful display of Char Michelson’s artwork. We are catered by Hestia of Austin. Our entertainment is Chicago.

So let’s go

 

Here’s information on the artist.

A shot of the gallery.

None of the paintings is titled, so we will enjoy the work and maybe make up our own titles.

Lovely monuments in sandstone.

Flowers, pitcher, table, and wallpaper.

A rural scene.

Rolling countryside.

A hill that just begs for climbing.

A lovely vase filled with joy.

It is now time to relax and enjoy the music and food. I hope you have an easy week.

    I love that the city supports the arts as much as they do, John, and love the beautiful artwork they chose to put on display.

    You set out quite the feedbag, but I’m never one to shy away from a complicated choice. I’ll snag a couple oysters and maybe some zucchini and the aged pork chop.

    I hope you have a great Sunday and a wonderful week ahead!

    Lakeway does promote its residents very well. I enjoyed listening to Chicago as I viewed the paintings and enjoyed my Texas ribeye!!

    Thanks for another enjoyable Sunday, John.

    Giving those paintings names could be a way to get banned from the exhibition.

    Some tuna tostada and wagyu ribeye to pair with a gallery stroll? Sold! I was feeling the Van Gogh vibe with these, Boss. And nice tune to cap things off!
