This is it! The last art festival of the year, at least for me, is Fresh Paint. It's a wonderful art festival on the Everett waterfront with over a hundred artists demonstrating their craft right before your eyes.

Recipe for an excellent visit to Fresh Paint:
1. The day before your visit make a reservation for lunch at Anthony's or Lombardi's restaurants right next to the festival.
 2. Come early! It starts at 10:00am. Early birds will get the parking right next to the festival.
3. Stop by my booth and say "hi!"
4. After two hours of discovering wonderful new art, take advantage of your lunch reservation. Enjoy a view of the water while you dine.
5. With refreshed feet and tummy, finish discovering the festival.
6. Be sure to see a glass blowing demo or two.
7. If you haven't already... stop by my booth and say "hi!"

Sunday the festival includes the Everett Farmer's Market. For more info about the festival click HERE.

Back Lit Rose

Oil on Gessobord

The way the sun lit up this rose next to my deck was striking. It seemed to glow from within. So of course, I had to try and paint it. I wasn't successful in capturing all that I wanted but hopefully there is still a sense of that wonderful light here.

Look who followed me home! You knew it was bound to happen. I couldn't spend all that time around so many beautiful roses without coveting some of my own. This is after having sworn off roses for years, too many diseases and too many bugs. The kind folks at the farm convinced me I could grow my own though and promised to hold my hand. So I will give it one more try......

Antique Rose Refurbished

Oil on Gessobord

This is a rose I painted last summer but was never happy enough with to post. Now that I don't have to come up with a new painting everyday I can go back and fix the flops. That will keep me busy for awhile. :)
