The first gallery I attended was at the Stiefel Theatre. I saw two interesting peices there. The first was a painting that has what looked like a snake charmer surrounded by sheep with a wolf "dressed in sheeps clothing" and sunglasses. It made me laugh. The second was a wonderful water color with flowers. The flowers were pink and purple with naturally green leaves and grass, but there was a splash of blue on the painting. I then went to the ETC Boutique which was featuring Tom Dorsey's photography. I was personally very excited to get to this one because it was strictly featuring photography. I was very impressed with his work. The photos he had were all black and white, and were taken with a Holga. I learned that a Holga is a Russian toy camera, in order to use one you have to actually tape it up in order to keep the light out. The last stop I made was at the Studio B, they had multiple booths with many different types of art from doll houses to paintings. Two of the paintings grabbed my attention. The first reminded me of that terrible movie The Ring, the second made me think of the calm after a storm. Both had a very angry feel to them.
While I was at the Art Rush I felt very out place, yet I was still excited because I haven't been to anything like it before so I was looking forward to a new experience. The smell of Studio B sticks out in my mind the most because it smelled like art, a mixture of paint and wood. I tasted dry bread and red wine, and heard the noise of people socializing.
