Art Fair on the Square

It's the Art Fair on the Square weekend! We've begun collecting small pieces of art, they make our apartment feel so lived in, and this is the place to go. We met up with Matt Lavine and started walking. Since this was our third time making the tour around the capitol, it was neat to know where people would be and what would be there.

We saw so much art, sculptures, glass bowls, paintings and wood carvings (but no wooden spoons this year). Laura really enjoyed the inlaid wood designs, all natural woods pieced together into images, virtually free of any joining marks. And we visited our favorite artist spot, the blockprints of Marvin and Wendy Hill. It was great to see Wendy again (although she's not really my Aunt, I call her Aunt Wendy, as her nephew Dave and I are old friends from college and were roommates for a few years). Before he passed, Marvin was working on his dream tarot deck, a facinating and well-integrated set of work that you should check out, and this year, we picked up the Four of Leaves, called "Leaf Pond" to add to our collection. We now look forward to the Winter Art Fair where we can see all these great artists again.
