We stopped down to the Creative Workshop in the basement of the Memorial Art Gallery to see the new show of “student art.” There is no shame in being a a lifelong student. I resigned myself to this a long time ago. Learning is not something you grow out of and this is all the more true at the Creative Workshop because Fred Lipp teaches there. Note: Classes start again next week.

I love the play between these three items in the show, my “Investment Banker” with the one eyed dog (Pauline Johnson Brown’s “Buster”) and Violet Paolucci’s “Untitled” ceramic vase establishing real form in the center. The color dialog is quite nice as well. And then around the corner we found a watercolor of the dedication of the O”Rourke bridge by Leo Dodd and Peggi Fournier’s watercolor of an African boy.
