Galleries and Eating

Spending another day in Connecticut, we thought we would drive over to another little town and check out an art gallery my aunt and uncle had been raving about ever since they first went. I've never been that much of an art person, but before I even walked in I was amused by the funniest sculpture outside the building!

Usually I'm creeped out by human-like animals, but it was so hilarious!

But it wasn't until I actually walked in that I was actually amazed. At first I was just slightly impressed, thinking everything was easily sculpted with wood. Then after walking closer and closer to the sculptures, I noticed that the artist had geniusly manipulated cardboard to make these wood-like pieces  of art. I reluctantly took some pictures, scared that I wouldn't be allowed, until the gallery owner told me it was okay.

Can you believe this is made out of cardboard?!

After walking around the gallery in awe for at least forty minutes, we were fortunate enough to be there when the artist strolled in to look at his work. We couldn't help ourselves from walking over and articulating our amazement. After finally telling ourselves that we had re-seen all of the sculptures enough times, we headed out to get something to eat. But the art followed us! Right in the parking lot were magnificent, but never failing to be funny, sculptures!

Ugh paparazzi are so annoying..

Then finally walking back to our car, we passed one more piece of art!

After walking around, I was so happy to be sitting in a nice restaurant, waiting for my food. 

Mozzarella, tomato, and pesto caprese (yum!)

Then to end the evening, we hopped over to a tiny book shop and I picked out a book since I just finished Paper Towns by John Green. I picked a memoir about a woman working for The New Yorker  in 1957. I'm picky about my books, so I'm hoping it'll keep me interested.
