Today, I had a really wonderful surprise - my niece, Ashley Whaley, called my cell phone. She had to come into town from Edisto for cheerleading practice for First Baptist High School and her sister, Melissa and my sister-in-law, Renae, had a few hours free and walked down from the gym at the City Market to visit me at the Art Show in Marion Square:

I walked them over to the Passing Notions? show where they enjoyed the multi-media show and the airconditioning. Afterwards, they helped me close my booth down, and I drove them back to the gym and got to see Ashley, too. They left my brother, Marion, at Edisto, working hard as this is a busy season for him (Whaley's Landscaping and Irrigation). But it was good to see most of the family because right before and during Spoleto, I don't get to Edisto at all, not even to hear Melissa sing her solo, a song honoring the teachers, at the closing of school this week.
Today two artists, Hilarie Lambert and Colleen Weissmann painted the same subject matter, one painting realistic, the other painting abstract - can anyone figure out what the subject matter was???

We're winding down, 2 more days to go, then it's time to pack up until next year - I think most of us have mixed emotions - our energy is somewhat drained from the heat, we're getting tired, but many of us are already making plans for how to make the show better next year. After all, we're artists, and it's in our blood...
