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.

Monthly Paint Day

The Delta Artists Association had a great activity going on during the monthly Paint Day.  Kathy Smith and Ann Laird Jones led a mini-workshop in painting on clay with under-glazes! For artists who paint but don't necessarily work with clay, it gave us some laid-back, no-pressure exposure to a different medium. It was great fun!
