Day 12: ME IV

· Maine Event
BEAUTIFUL LITTLE HOUSE SPARROWS
The colors are just starting
How does such a wee car pull such a long boat? A lovely green boat that it is.

After work we dashed off to the Portland Museum of Art: The oldest public art institution in the United States, founded in 1882 as The Portland Society of Art. We went because there was a show Woven by Jeremy Frey. He learned Wabanaki weaving techniques from his mother and from apprenticing at the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance. He is considered one of the foremost Passamaquoddy craftspeople of his generation. Check these out!

This was about a meter tall and was commissioned by the Denver Airport. Big cats are an important part of Colorado culture.

Then we went downtown to Novare Rez to process and discuss what an amazing experience it was. Here is another nice article about Jeremy Frey: https://downeast.com/maine-made/jeremy-frey-modern-master-of-wabanaki-basketry/

M had his classic St. Bernardus and I had "Dinner" by the Maine Beer Company (we also really like Lunch).
A Beautiful moon is shining over you and me.
Two more after this one. Any guesses?

Have an inspired evening.

Sending oodles of love,

Tawnia
