Images from a recent visit to the Art Trail Gallery

Back in July, while waiting for a meeting to begin at the Art Trail Gallery, I took several photos of faces in the artwork on display (click here to faces from Visualicious).  Recently, I had another meeting at the Art Trail Gallery and I had a few minutes to capture more faces.
