Frederick Maryland Art May 3, 3019

 Trump L'oeil art, optical illusion.  The painting actually looked like this

 until you looked at it from the side!

 Which is real and which is art?  There was a bridge, a wall and a support wall.  and a FLAT mallard duck and a painting of a bird bath

 No gate here, or real ivy


 Lovely canal

Photos of the River Concert Tributary Series concert with José Cueto (violin), Nancy Roldán (piano), Heather Haughn (violin), Jim Kelly (viola) and Barbara Brown (violincello) on July 20, 2019.  They played Argentinian music by Piazzolla, Guastavino and Ginastera at St. Mary's Hall at St. Mary's College or Maryland.  Some of the music showed off the many ways to play stringed instruments and the last piece "Allegro Tangábile" was particularly difficult and exciting.
  Please share with your friends.
