Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibition 2013 - Saturday, June 1, 2013 - Day 9

BREAKING  EXCLUSIVE!


Today at Marion Square, we had a stunning and unexpected turn of events!  Artist Kevin LePrince challenged Artist/Photographer Scott Henderson to a $100 Challenge (this was while they were "lolling around" AGAIN - see post from Thursday, May 30th - Day 7). Word rapidly spread through the park, and artists were in turn, disbelieving, shocked and amazed.  In short, LePrince offered Henderson a crisp $100 bill to jump into the fountain at the corner of King and Calhoun - better yet, Henderson had to get completely submerged to win the Big Buck!

And yes, I was given the privilege of an exclusive pre-interview with LePrince, pre-interview with Henderson, the exclusive videotaping of The Event and the post-interview with Henderson.  For your viewing enjoyment, "The $100 Challenge" is presented in 4 short videos below:

Even More Lolling Around
Rick Reinert and Dwane Ray Have NO Idea the Challenges that may follow Lolling Around.
Moral of the Day:  Be careful who you Loll Around With.

Saturday Demonstration:  Oil Painting - Laurie Meyer

See the lady in the tennis shoes.  She has a notebook and pen. She has come for FREE Art Lessons!

Saturday Demonstration:  Pastel - Amelia Rose Smith

Rose's son graduated yesterday - from his school in Utah.  Rose and her husband Jack caught the red-eye last night to make sure she was back in time for her demo today.  As we say, the Art Show must go on!

More Saturday Visits from Friends With Edisto Connections!
It's always fun to see people at the show, and I grew up on Edisto
