Wing Night!

If you like wings then you're going to love Wing Night at Findlay Commons in East. Every Monday and Wednesday, the Big Onion hosts a Wing Night. It is very popular to many of the students here on campus. It is so popular that the line starts forming around seven o'clock. Wings are served from eight o'clock to eleven o'clock and, in my experience so far, the line stays long until the wings are no longer served. Throughout your wait in the line, you can smell the all the sauces they use on the wings, as well as the wings themselves. If you aren't in line, the smell draws you to it. When you finally get to the front of the line, there are four choices of wings that can be made. You can have mild, hot, very hot, and barbecue. What makes the wings so popular is that you can get a dozen for just $4. That's such a great deal. It keeps people coming back each and every week. I myself have only had the barbecue wings which were delicious. According to others, all four types of wings have their own unique taste.

Museum Visit - 'Forest Scene'

I went to the Palmer Museum of Art September 1st. I was walking around for about an hour when I saw a painting that caught my attention right away. The painting looked like the middle of the forest. It had several trees that differ in size. All of the trees were surrounding a little clearing. It also had a few rock in it.There is a light getting through the canopy. It is focused mostly on the clearing. The light is provided just enough to light up the whole painting.

The name of this painting is called 'Forest Scene'. It was done by William Trost Richards. He did this in the year of 1868 using oil on canvas. This called my attention because I love the outdoors. I used to go camping all the time and enjoyed just walking through the woods just for the scenery. There were always certain spots that I went to every year. This painting looks just like a spot I went to every time I went camping. the only thing different is that the forest in the painting is a lot bigger than the one I went to.

Although this painting was done in a time where a lot of things were going on in this country and around the world, it has nothing to do with it. This painting does not symbolize any of the events that took place in 1868. Richards based all his paintings on scenes like this. His entire work was scenic views of forests, oceans and other things like that. He was an artist who like to portray things as they were, unlike the Hudson River painters. He did not like the way that they stylized the paintings. They look better when done factually. His paintings are in museums in mostly Europe and, here, in America.

The Palmer Museum of Art was a good experience for me. It was my first time ever inside of it. Although, I did enjoy my time admiring and walking around the museum, I do not think that I am a museum-goer. Museums just are not my sort of thing. They can keep me entertained for a short while but other than that I do not think I can stand it.
