Let’s go.

 

Here is the poster for the event. We did not go on the studio tour.

This is birdbath heaven.

Also, a TV tray heaven.

A jazz trio for our listening pleasure.

Plants are art , too.

These paintings are made with alcohol inks. Alcohol inks are fast-drying, waterproof, highly pigmented, alcohol-based inks that are great to use on a variety of surfaces. These are dye-based colors (as opposed to pigment-based) that are flowy and transparent.

Some oils on canvas.

Mixed media.

A big selection

Of course, pottery is art.

Some are larger than life.

Computer-generated art and graphite.

To cool off with some shave ice.

  1. I love art shows. I’ve been on a few studio tours as well and they were fun. Enjoyed seeing the artists in their own environment. Rod Stewart is the perfect musical choice today!

  5. Thanks for taking us along, John. I love wandering through an art show. I will not let any of the critters around here see those birdbaths. These guys will have to deal with stone and imitation terracotta on the ground. I’m not sure how they will be in Texas, but I can’t resist trying a bowl New England Clam Chowder & a Lobster Roll.

  9. Another great event, John. I really enjoyed seeing what everyone was displaying, and I learned something new, too. I never heard of alcohol inks before. Cool!!
    Thanks so much for sharing, and hope you have a great week ahead! 😀 ❤

  13. Our festival season will start again with the cooler weather. Cooler meaning high 80’s, not mid-90’s. Our meteorologists are such comedians. Gosh, that golden beet salad is calling my name…

  19. I adore Rod Stewart!

    You sure live in an artistic community. Does anyone sell their books at these fairs?
    The birdbaths and TV trays are my faves at this event… for some reason.

    Do you have a birdbath? I bet Twiggy would love to have a birdbath.
    Thanks for sharing your hood, John. I’m always impressed.
    🐂🐂🐂🐂

    1. Thank you, Resa. No. Books are not sold at these events but that might not be a bad idea. We don’t have a birdbath but we do have a bucket for the deer. Thanks for coming along Resa. 🐂🐂🐂🐂 🌺

  21. I suddenly realized I have a need for a TV tray…those are so neat! And I’ve been wanting pots like that for my plants (or macramé hangers actually), to keep them out of reach of my kitties (by kitties, I mean Mischievous Moon Pie)…

  23. If they can guarantee the New England clam chowder is legit, I’ll be having that please. I love art shows like this. There are always little gems tucked away!
