 | SATISFACTIONS Satisfactions are sweet. The vibrant spectrum emerging these days in vivid garden colors—deep lapis blues and scarlet reds and sunshine yellows. The dusting of tender green on treetops and the scent of rain on the way. The early Saturday morning sight of the neighbors’ lab, Lovey Johnson, tethered and briskly led past my cottage by his young mistress, Mia, fashionably dressed in jacket, fluffy skirt, pastel tights and Mary Janes. The giant bridesmaids’ bou- |
| quets of blossoms by the hundreds—mauve and amethyst and palest pink—held high by tulip trees all over town. The warm glow of interior lights glimpsed at dusk through curtains of sturdy Irish lace. Satisfactions are sweet and reassuring. They remind us all is well in our world. |  |
 | The Opening Reception last Friday night for WINGED WOMEN, show-casing the fine paintings and charcoals of Sandra Conrad, was the loveliest of satisfactions. Sandra and her husband, Jason, were delightful collaborators in the exhibition’s installation. Cindy Chilton created a unique crystal and candlelit adorned tabletop lavishly laid with delectable expressions of Judith Goff’s gourmet talents enjoyed as sweets and savories. Thank you to each of these makers of art. Thank you, also, to jazz stylist Tristan Royster, to Volunteer Host Bren Flanigan and to Board Members Pat Goff, Betsy Flanigan, Gail White |
| and Brenda Sageng who greeted guests and assisted patrons with their purchases. The rich visual satisfaction of WINGED WOMEN continues through March 27th. Gallery Hours: Fridays and Saturdays, 12-5 pm; Sundays 1-5 pm. Information: 417-358-4404. Thursday night, March 17, 8-10 pm, you have an opportunity to experience another artCentral satisfaction.
