Berne Library Notes for Tuesday, November 8, 2022
Single artwork
Marshall came bustling in through the back door shouting, “Yoo hoo! Sally! I’ve got a surprise for you. And some library news.”
Sally came around the corner. Marshall held out the book, “Green Gifts — 40 Sustainable and Beautiful Present Ideas” by Rosie James and Claire Carter.
“Marshall, what a lovely book. Thank you so much for thinking of me.”
Marshall said, “I knew you were keen on making stuff involving nature so I grabbed it from the new books display. Plus, I signed you up for the November Adult Craft night on the 21st at 6:30 like you asked me to. Oh, and there’s a small $2 materials fee, just so you know.”
“Oh, that’s the stuffed pumpkin craft. Great! Thanks Marshall.”
“And, while I was there, they were putting up the newest art display in the community room and I got to meet the artist, Sandra Mengo,” Marshall sputtered excitedly.
“Tell me all about it,” Sally said smiling, as they sat at the kitchen island.
“So, there are 16 art pieces, mostly oil colors. One was an interesting collage. From her description, she took a bit of gesso, some golden fluid acrylic ink, plus copies of these old cartographer maps and voila! An incredible piece of artwork. You’re going to love the miniature scene of white birch trees gazing up at a rising hillside from a spot in Schoharie.”
“OK, then,” said Sally. “I’m psyched! We’ll plan an outing for tomorrow then to check out the display.”
With that, their weekend plans were set. Come on in and see the relaxing scenes Sandra is sharing with us through the end of November.
