After work, hubby and I headed into Old Town Manassas for their annual Fall Gallery Walk. The shops along the main road, Center Street, were open from 6-9:30pm and each hosted local artists and musicians.
One of our stops included the Creative Brush Studio. Mary Reilly (owner) and Christine Raymond are the featured artists.

We stopped in the Opera House Gourmet shop to see what was happening. They had a local artist who was setting up to paint real time. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance for a photo opportunity as there was limited space with lots of folks milling around.
I did get a wonderful opportunity to sample this fabulous red wine.
We arrived at the Center for the Arts at the old Candy Factory to see a showing of Jinchul Kim's exhibit. Several of his paintings were so realistic (oil on canvas), I thought I was looking at photos. This one is my favorites. I love the glow of the painting and plus the scene is from our local Manassas train station.

| No wonder I'm drawn to this building, it has something to do with making chocolates |
We had a wonderful evening strolling in and out of the various shops and museums. I'm looking forward to the Spring Gallery Walk next year.
