The Art Walk-in was really neat. I loved the building inside and thought it almost seemed like a piece of art itself. I loved seeing all the different artists' works. I loved the pottery display on the middle floor, but I unfortunately didn't catch the artist. It was also pretty cool to see work from students and professors.
I really loved the bowling alley art done by the 3D students. It was fascinated to see people's inspiration and take on a bowling pin. The display looked great. It was so interesting to hear people around me saying which ones they really liked and which ones they found disturbing, such as the bowling pins made into weapons. I especially enjoyed one particular one that was done with mosaic flowered pottery pieces. I also liked one where the pin was sliced and the pieces were askew.
I went to the WalkIn with my sister and my two nieces, and my older niece became fascinated with Richard Lilley, who was painting a picture during the show, so that was who we chatted with. I thought he was quite talented, and he does things with a brush that I could never achieve, but I doubt I would ever have a real desire to own a piece of his work. Lilley told us that the painting he was working on (which included a waterfall and a train), was inspired by a trip to Ricketts Glen State Park (if you've never been there I highly recommend you go). While there is no trains there, an
d we knew this, he said he put the train in because he "likes trains."
