A friend's new son-in-law had his art on display at Chives, downtown. She was going down to the viewing and planning on snacking while there. In fact she siad, "they were encouraging you to eat". Surprise, surprise.
That was more than enough reason to go, and despite the horrid weather, and L's pending dance class in the early evening, off we went.
The stuff on the walls was, well, pretty cool. Argyle Fine Art impacting on my life again, after last Friday's By The Glass wine and snacks event in the gallery, but with three new artists. And right in Craig Flinn's wheelhouse. Jason's stuff is made from styrofoam, and he gets some interesting textrues, and lighting effects on platter of it that are without scale, looking one moment like the surface of a planet from afar, and at another moment like the mud beneath your feet at low tide on the Bay of Fundy.
Not having a lot of time, I had a glass of Trapiche Pinot Noir, and ordered the bacon wrapped pork loin, with cheese perogies, red cabbage and roasted carrots. The food was wonderful, and if I could have changed anything it would have been to give me more of that cabbage! (and maybe make the perogies a bit cheesier, to match my sense of humour).
We scampered off into the night, L to her dance class, and me to an evening of brown bagged weird wines with a couple of my wine geek friends. Scuppernong! Morrocan red; Finger Lakes Riesling; and New Zealand Merlot.
Life is so tough sometimes....
