Day 14 - Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibition

Honorable Mention
Congratulations to Susan Colwell for
"Blue Serenity II"!

That's all the awards for the 2016 show - 2 more official days to go (except there will be lots of artists staying over and showing Sunday - it's Second Sunday on King Street and there will be arrows showing the detour into Marion Square).  

Artist Daryl Knox, who can do anything, rigged up my table which lost a screw yesterday. Since he didn't have any of those Allen wrench things, his creativity ran rampant - notice the easel stabilizing and holding the table up. Plus he has a giant toolbox he brings every day to the park.  It has absolutely everything in it. Except what we needed...

Artist & Helpful Man 
Thank you, Daryl Knox!

By the second week of this show, we begin to see strange occurrences...the Piccolo Ping Pong Championship has begun:

Artists Bob Graham and Scott Penegar

Artist Joyce Harvey's tent is color-coordinated in aqua and white to enhance her marine paintings.  She also coordinates her outdoor art show wardrobe and frequently wears aqua and white.  Yesterday, everyone in our section of the POD got together and played a joke on her.  Noted PSOAE photographer, Terrie Johnson, was privately alerted and part of the GREAT JOYCE HARVEY SURPRISE.  Joyce was called away from her tent just long enough for the group to change their shirts and hide in her tent.  Terrie Johnson was the first on the scene to catch the group as Joyce returned to her tent:
SURPRISE!!!

Artist Joyce Harvey, ever the Good Sport
Joins in for the Group Cheesecake Shot - yes, that's Joyce wearing the Aqua Hat...

We also have birthdays and Birthday Parties
Artists Alvin Glen and Monnie Johnson just turned 60 years OLD
and here they are "Cutting the Cake"

Artists are never too old to wear party hats and eat birthday cake.

The Birthday Boys with Artist Friends.
If you have cake, you have a lot of friends.
