Fine Art Friday:Maphet
It pleases me to highlight a local artist friend of mine in today's FAF: Linda Maphet. This personal portrait of the artist's mother playing the dulcimer recently won first place in a juried exhibition. Furthermore, Linda's work is on display at a new art gallery here in Canton: Vantage Point Studios. Owner Mike Brown and others are working diligently to increase exposure for our local artists. Here's a link to the Cherokee Tribune article.
Continuing with the local theme, after the opening reception this evening, we have reservations to dine at Partake. Chef Lauri Grizzle opened this intimate (6 tables) only 6 months ago, after owning The Mustard Seed in Ball Ground for many years. Working to use locally grown fruits and vegetables along with organic products/meats, Lauri leads the way for fine dining in Canton.
Topping out the weekend, I'll be hostessing my parents for their combined birthday celebration with a special meal after church on Sunday.
Stay tuned for details.

I love the light and shadows, the simplicity of subject matter and the hands. It reminds me of Vermeer.And an eatery called Partake? That is the perfect name; it astounds me that I haven't heard it before. It's one of those names that makes so much sense. I hope your weekend was lovely.I'm gearing up for a San Francisco visit the first week of November. Blessings keep heaping up!
