Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Show - Day 9 - Saturday, June 5, 2010

Today was hot, humid and filled with good friends out and about with Spoleto, the Outdoor Art Show and the Farmers Market.  Lots of good friends came by, starting early with Dave and Linda Soutter:

Lots of great memories with Linda and Dave from St. Michael's, Logan Street and New Street downtown! Then I got to meet a special young man who came by with his parents:
Will Davis with parents, Jennifer and Mark
Jennifer and Mark are both attorneys here in town. Will, their first child, was born in February, and I've been waiting to meet him.  Will was way too enthralled with both his parents to be overly concerned with me, but when I did catch his eye, he gave me a smile that is sure to set girls' hearts aflutter in a few years!

Maureen Williams, a paralegal who works with me, came by to chat - it was great to have a few minutes to catch up - I came back from Paris the weekend she left for Australia, so we're catching up with each others' trips.

Spoleto just isn't spoleto unless the Rices come in from Edisto and stop by.  Sure enough, they arrived with big news. They just became grandparents about 10 months ago - so we had a great visit about their new grandaughter, who, of course has already met and bonded with Edisto!

Another winner in the Art Show as Sally Bennett.  Below she is holding her award winner:

Laurie Meyer gave a great demonstration in oil.  Laurie is our first place winner this year and you can view her award-winning artwork on the entry for Sunday, May 30.  She showed the crowd how she "got the glow" in the piece that won from her underpainting.  Below are several photos of the work in progress - I'll post the completed work when she finishes it: the work is off to a stunning start!


          It looks great already!










Looking good,



feeling good!



At the end of the day, we were all hot, sticky and tired but as I was walking to my car, I stopped at the Passing Notions? show and cooled off.  I couldn't resist taking the picture of Alex and Sara Radin's 2 daughters:
