Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a WALL!

View from the garage.

View from inside the workshop.

The third bay of our garage was always intended to be used for canoe storage and Rusty's workshop.  This weekend, Billy Venhaus and Rusty installed a wall, complete with double doors.  The wide doors will allow for easy removal of the canoes.  The entire wall took them less than four hours!  Even before the interior walls are completely insulated, there is a great deal of warmth in the room with its little heater.  It will be a great place for Rusty to do his work projects year-round!

This Friday was Art Walk Friday, so Rusty and I took the opportunity to view the latest works at The Sheldon and also Tugboat Art Gallery.  What a fun night!  In this picture we are enjoying wine and snacks just outside the Vinh Danh exhibit.

One of the pieces we saw at the Sheldon was this Portrait of Edith Dimock Glackens by Robert Henri. Henri studied in Philadelphia and Paris and taught at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women.  Interestingly enough, Henri was raised in Cozad, NE and there is still a museum of his works in Cozad, NE. Apparently Glackens, the subject in this picture, was a painter in her own right.  We read that Barnes, an early collector, purchased some of Glackens work.  Could that be the Barnes Foundation that we visited in Philadelphia?
