Had a great time at the Fresh Paint Festival. A big thanks to everyone who stopped by and especially to those who took something special home with them. You are all very much appreciated!

 

Now that's how you want to see a booth! Full of lots of visitors! Also, you can see my new banner above. A big thanks to Don for creating the special supports that attached it to my booth. You're my hero!

My daughter, Anika, way in the back, manning the booth for her fourth year!

What? Fresh Paint Art Festival is two days away? How did that happen?

The Coupeville Festival was great. I think mild weather helped out. Here's to some great weather this weekend too!

I made a couple of trips to the island this summer specifically to do some plein air paintings for the festival. I got lucky and sold a few off the easel. This is one of them. Just love Colleen's flower boxes!

If you are able to come to the festival in Coupeville this weekend be sure to stop by and say,"Hi!" My booth is next to Toby's Tavern on 1st street. See you there!

One of my better plein air paintings of the wharf in Coupeville. Painted earlier this summer. We're mostly packed for the Coupeville Art Festival and headed to the ferry early tomorrow morning to beat the summer traffic (hopefully). 

Two days until the festival!
