ex·quis·ite

adjective

extremely beautiful and, typically, delicate.”exquisite, jewel like portraits”
Similar: beautiful, overly elegant, graceful, magnificent, superb

There are art pieces that I consider ‘exquisite’ because they speak to me. They can be large or small, refined or bold and realistic or abstract. The following pieces from our most recent art show at WAAC, From Nature to Abstraction, I find ‘exquisite.

Before COVID, one of the last restaurants that I visited in the Junction Triangle had the entire restaurant ‘papered’ with old wine crates.

Garden Art in Community Gardens

Posted on October 17, 2022 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Marsha for hosting PPAC https://alwayswrite.blog/2022/10/14/ppac-67-portland-international-rose-test-garden/

Close to where a dear friend lives I witnessed what happens when a community comes together to create gardens on land that would normally be ignored. Some of the gardens are pollinator gardens and others have bird houses to attract birds. The schools have become involved by encouraging children to paint signs and make sculptures that have been carefully placed among the plants.
