"Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul." - Edgar Allan Poe

NRAS Festival

As some of you might know, every Memorial Weekend the North River Arts Society host their annual street festival.  It's wonderful event which I try never to miss.  This is  my on site, plein aire painting done last Saturday while listening to the band play and watching the clouds skudding across the skies and the sun breaking out.  A wonderful day!

I'm also adding some images from the last couple of years of festival painting... hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoy painting at the festival each year.

Thanks Mary! I was painting on Saturday. It's always fun painting there and meeting all the people strolling by. They are always so interested in the painting process. :)
