I Was Shocked to Find This Hidden Art Treasure in North Iowa…
Name: Homecoming | Date of Print: 1933 | Type of Print: Color Lithograph | Artist: Marc Chagall | Nationality: Russian | Artist Life Span: 1887-1985Charles City, Iowa Library This winter I when was doing a cooking class for a travel blogger group in Charles City, Iowa. The first night we were staying at the lovely Red Cedar Lodge, getting to know each other, eating treats that would make any foodie jealous, laughing A LOT and having a little too much wine when one of the bloggers, Theresa Goodrich, author of of "Two Lane Gems, Vols 1 & 2" asked if I was interested in checking out the art display at the local library the next day. I said sure and didn't think too much about it again -- we were having WAY too much fun in this cozy cabin! The next day we had an inspiring tour at the Carrie Chapman Catt museum (who deserves her own blog) and enjoyed a wonderful time sauntering around downtown, shopping, eating, drinking fabulous coffee, and more laughing. But that is also another blog... As the time approached for us to head back to the cabin and start our cooking class, Theresa asked again who wanted to head to the library to check out their art collection. I was kind of surprised she was so interested in a small town collection since she was from Chicago and so close to tons of wonderful art, but she touted it, so I was in. A few of our afternoon stops... Christmas at The Rustic CornerOtto's OasisThe Pub on The CedarTruffles at Darbe & Co. BoutiquePoinsettias at Otto's Oasis The Library Museum... Theresa was so compelling the rest of the group decided to come too, so we all jumped into Katy's SUV and headed to the library....
