Final Preparations &
The Show is On!
9:59 a.m. Bob Graham - final pricing
It's always a bit frantic with final minute touches - making sure all paintings are titled and priced - and after 2 days of setting up, very little sleep, making sure the right titles are with the right paintings... The judging takes place the first day of the show - the judge should get a medal - 86 booths in the hot sun!
But the artists have moved in for the duration - this will be our home away from home for the next 16 days. We're like a big family with a lot of comaderie and a genuine enjoyment of being around each other.
During the show, Marion Square will also be our studio away from the studio...
Rick Reinert - set up and already painting!
Rick Reinert paints every day - last year during his art demonstration it poured rain - he was there with signs out that the demo would go on - a real trooper!
Laurie Meyer is varnishing an artwork.
(Scott Penegar is doing his George of the Jungle thing again, i.e., see post from 5/21.)
Tonight we artists will start getting sleep again - tomorrow I'll start posting the award winners!
