Zo! You tink you are going to svat ME, do you?

There was an art show on the other side of the state that I did not know about and so missed it. A friend of mine mentioned it to me after the fact. Turns out that photos of the top ten works are online -- so at least I got to see them. This one was my favorite hands down though it only won 10th place. (Personally I thought it should have ranked higher.)

Having seen the pictures of the rest of the Top 10 -- all available for viewing if you click on the 2nd link -- I really wish I had gone. The craftsmanship on the 1st place winner (a mosaic) was absolutely exquisite and some of the other works were phenominal.

I was able to see the mantas but when I hit the back to previous page above the photo, it takes me back to the OB. If that is any indication of the art, your right they are amazing.

Oops! I thought that would work. Okay. Well I just added another link, Dave -- give that one a go.
