We spent Saturday in Park City, an artsy community in the mountains. Main Street is home to more than 20 quality art galleries, tons of restaurants, fun stores, and a few sweet shoppes (where we always stop for a yummy candy apple).
We made three happy discoveries while there.
1. Thomas Kearns McCarthey Gallery, which specializes in beautiful Russian Impressionist art still exists! Several years back, on a visit with my mom and sisters, I happily stumbled into the gallery and found myself completely enchanted with the paintings on the walls. Each subsequent trip propelled me straight to that gallery. A few years later, I arrived at the gallery to find it closed and gone. I despaired. This weekend, we found it across the street! They had simply changed location. I was elated!

2. We discovered Michael Fatali, a landscape photographer at Sacred Earth Images gallery. He uses an old-school camera and develops his pictures on special paper in a DARKROOM. That’s right- none of his pictures are touched up or Photoshopped.

3. We stumbled upon the delightful work of mixed media artist, Denise Duong at Phoenix Gallery. Her subjects are primarily herself and her husband. Love it!

It was a visually stunning Valentine’s weekend. I’m feeling very artjuvenated. What great art have you seen lately? How was your Valentine’s Day?
