This little guy is a repeat customer but I really enjoyed the way the sun is shimmering on it's wings so I decided to throw in another picture. I looked it up and it's an eastern tiger swallowtail.

Red State

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the art exhibit there was a dinner and entertainment gathering at the Hyundai dealership down the street. We met a nice family headed by an Army veteran named Dave who was quite a character (that's him on the far left.) The rest of the evening we'll put aside. Let's just say the entertainment and the speakers that went up were definitely red state cult members.

Though all his other pieces were metal, I thought this lone carved wood piece was intriguing.

The other exhibit was by a metal worker named Valentine, he was an Air Force vet.

Mom and Dad were always working with Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center (MACC), a local art gallery and institute. They put on a special event to support their art for veterans cause and we got tickets, knowing the proceeds went to veterans programs. There were two main exhibits, this one hand carved wooden war dogs.
