What a fabulous morning! The P. Buckley Moss Society which honors the astoundingly beautiful work of
Moss the artist, and which provides altruistic endeavors around our fair city met today at the Taubman Museum of Art. Ms. Moss honored us with her presence as we toured the new museum. (Click on her name to see her wonderful art!)
Here is Ms. Moss, in white, pictured with our illustrious president, Linda.
The museum is just wonderful. I especially loved the Florentine Gallery. This olde world art was exquiste in detail and storyline.
This harlequin piece first caught my eye. We couldnt use a flash of course and my shots are not that good.
The blue gallery housed 17th century art of the most exquisitely realistic quality which I
love best.
The American Gallery was dominated by Sanger's Norah, this gorgeous rather impressionistic piece.
My eye kept drifting back to the more realistic works of the Blue gallery!
Another highlighted these gorgeous spheroids~
Inside each sphere a ladies purse beaded with Austrian crystals.
One of our cities patronesses donated 150 of these purses for display!
Then we had a delightful luncheon in the Norah Bistro.
Our dear artist signed small miniatures she passed out to us.
We then retired to the art shop where Moss is signing all afternoon. I was able to get my framed piece we bought over 30 years ago signed on the glass!
The museum is quite an architechural wonder! Tucked right into a cosy corner in downtown it amuses every traveller on the interstate as they whiz past.

But even though it was an extremely drear day my favorite roanoke site is seen peering in at the window.
Here she had us over for dinner out on the patio when Amanda and Joshua were home! Yum! Check out this dinner, bbq'ed chicken strips, with all the trimmings!
