This Saturday the 18th of September was the first annual art show for the newly formed Northeast Alabama Art Council. The event was held at The Grand Ole Lady house in Fort Payne Al.. It's the residence of Artist Anne Hamilton. Her home is an old Victorian style home painted a lively mint green with a lovely front porch which is featured here on the day of the show. As you can see there was a musician strumming and art placed around for the public to enjoy and purchase. Anne was a very gracious hostess to the event and is seated in the background wearing the black blouse and white slacks.
Also around the property were artist set up in booths. This is my side of the booth shared with Michele Lee. We both had easels set up and were painting on exhibit for the crowd.
Here is Michele seated on the other side of the booth, painting. This is her second piece to paint outdoors as the first one sold right off the easel!
This is one of the patrons with her purchase of my painting "Go Fish". She just knew right off the bat that this was her painting and exactly where she was going to hang it!Michele and I stayed with Anne in advance of the art show to help with the preparations and to spend some quality time with this wonderful lady. She has taught me Sooo much, not only about art, she's a wonderfuly skilled teacher, but she's also a very intelligent and keen woman who has reinvented herself many times over in her life and she just keeps getting better and better. A perfect example of womanhood.
I look forward to next years event as it promises to be even greater than this past weekends.
