* Mark would enter the Center a little after dinner time, walking slowly as he leaned on the cane *
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:00:40 AM)
*Gilbert was hanging out in the lobby of the CCA building.. twiddling his thumbs most the time, and reaching up to scratch his beard instinctively when otherwise. He was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans, with tattoos of some of the weirdest things long faded up and down his arms.*
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 5:04:57 AM)
* Mark would nod to Gilbert as he slowly shuffles past him* Evenin'
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 5:05:21 AM)
(( Just a stupid question, but what exactly do people do here? Make art, exhibit, workshops? all of the above? lol )
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:07:00 AM)
((pretty much all the above Elyse Benson would know the details for sure)) Hello hello. *gilbert would look up and stop fidgeting for a moment to look to the new guy with sparkling eyes that appeared way to young and alive for even his apparent age*
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 5:08:39 AM)
* Mark would stop for a moment, watching Gilbert before speaking * Are you familiar with the CCA? It has been a while since I visited
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:09:48 AM)
Of course I am... I been here lots.
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:12:43 AM)
I haven't been here long though.. a few hours... hoping to see Elyse. She's the one to talk to. *he scratches his beard again out a nervous habbit.* She's in charge of the place.
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 5:13:53 AM)
Elyse? I don't think I know her, but sounds like I should meet her sometime as well * he nodded * So, you are an artist then?
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:15:08 AM)
Aren't we all artists? I mean the canvas and media might be different, but we all paint a picture.
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 5:15:33 AM)
Maybe, although I do not do a lot of painting these days
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:15:59 AM)
Neither do I... Just sit here and have conversations is all I really do.
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 5:18:34 AM)
Just conversations eh? About?
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:21:16 AM)
Really depends who with... Some times I talk to the children, some times I talk to others. The conversations are never boring though.
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 5:21:59 AM)
I can imagine, do a lot of people come here during the day? * he tilts his head slightly *
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:23:19 AM)
Of course they do... that's when the workshops are held. *he gave him a complete confused look as if everyone knew when the busy time was*
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 5:23:43 AM)
And at night its.. rather quiet? * he looked around a bit *
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:26:55 AM)
*there wasn't much of anyone else around and most the lights were off* Yes. It's the time those really appreciative of art come out to scrutinize the work here. When they aren't giving guided tours and such.
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:27:40 AM)
the gift shop is closed at this time of night.. but Im sure there's a soda machine or drinking fountain around.
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 5:32:07 AM)
Oh that is not really what I would be looking for, I am more interested in the art on display
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:32:44 AM)
*he looks around the room and fidgets some more* It's all here feel free to browse
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 5:35:47 AM)
Thank you * he nodded slowly, shuffling over to some paintings to look at them *
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:38:57 AM)
*Gilbert went back to his usual silence and twiddled his thumbs some waiting for something*
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 5:45:59 AM)
* he would stand there for a while, studying some of the paintings before looking back to Gilbert * Do you know who paints these? Not the specific painter, but are these artists, students, or just anyone who feels like picking up a brush?
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:47:08 AM)
*Gilbert stopped twitching a bit* No sir, Elyse might know.. might be some of ehr children.
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 5:48:30 AM)
her children? * he tilts his head slightly *
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:50:41 AM)
Oh yes.
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:51:26 AM)
Elyse has many children... Very young ones.. some older... Some love her, some don't.
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 5:53:33 AM)
Are they all 'her' children, or they children she teaches classes here or something?
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 5:57:02 AM)
Oh they are all hers of course...
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 5:58:54 AM)
She has a large family then * he chuckled softly * So this is almost a family gallery then?
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 6:01:45 AM)
I don't think all this was done by elyse's children... some of it.. Some might be from the workshops, some might be private exhibitions
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 6:04:42 AM)
* he nodded slowly * Well, thank you for explaining some of this to me, I should be on my way now. But I will definitely be looking to meet this Elyse.
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 6:06:38 AM)
*Gilbert nodded* She has the answers...
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 6:07:16 AM)
She does eh? I will keep that in mind. Thanks again, and have a good night * he nods to Gilbert as he slowly shuffles towards the exit *
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 6:08:25 AM)
*Gilbert remained seated on the bench and didn't pay the guy any mind as he left until he almost hit the door.* Hey...
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 6:08:49 AM)
I can let her know you are looking for her... but I don't know who you are.

* Mark would stop and turn around, moving to Gilbert to hand him a card * That would be very kind of you. * it was a business card for Johnson Auctions & Appraisals *
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 6:11:20 AM)
you are Johnson?
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 6:11:34 AM)
Mark Johnson, indeed
Gilbert Trenton (Jan 13, 2011 6:12:03 AM)
*he nodded* I'll do that...
Mark Johnson (Jan 13, 2011 6:12:54 AM)
Thank you, good night then * before he turns and heads out finaly *
