My brain is a little fried this evening, having spent the midday heat (and my goodness was it hot) outdoors. I don’t regret it, though! The Morton Arboretum’s Wine and Art Walk was well worth it.
All this weekend, artists have set up shop around the lake nearest the Visitor Center, selling nature-themed pieces of all shapes, sizes, and price ranges. There were some very pretty landscape photography on-metal prints running in the range of $2,000, and a salamander sticker I got for $3. Shows like this are always a treat, because you never know quite what you’ll find! And what you’ll learn! Another artist and I had an illuminating conversation on glasswork. And of course, anything set in the arboretum is doomed to be gorgeous, especially when summer flowers are fully in bloom.
