Great Delta Bear Affair 2013

The Delta Artists Association will showcase our artwork in a booth at Rolling Fork's Great Delta Bear Affair on Saturday, October 26th!  Come for the arts, music, magic, tours, and fireworks!

I will also have two paintings in the silent auction at the Great Delta Bear Affair's Patrons' Party the same weekend.

What does Roosevelt, the teddy bear, and Mississippi have to do with each other? Take a look at the story to learn what we're celebrating: The Birth of the Teddy Bear.

Indian Bayou Festival

Took some pictures at the Indian Bayou Arts Festival, so here's a painting of some artisans selling their craft.  The festival takes place in September across from the B.B. King Museum and The Blue Biscuit along the banks of Indian Bayou in Downtown Indianola, Mississippi.  The man in the red shirt is Lee Washington. He was selling his "Cotton Picking" metal sculptures, three of said pieces grace my home!

I was also a demonstration artist with the Delta Artists Association booth for those who passed by, had questions, and wanted to see an artist in action.  I'm working on the painting posted here.
