Mark Boedges paints south of Egg Harbor …. Shelby Keefe in the fields at Seaquest orchards

You have got to love Matt Barber Kennedy and his style!  … just love this!

at the sunset paint out Wednesday night. Everyone else had their sights set on the harbor, bay and sunset… he found a flagpole… high up in the air! 

Gay Falkenberry in a private garden in Ellison Bay.

Beach road farm views! 

Anderson barn, wind, waves and bugs… folks taking shelter!

Below are views of the quick paint in Fish Creek.  Everything you see was created in only 2 hours with a lively auction to follow! SO fun!

Matt gets my pick for most original again… I think he could have sold this painting 1000 times!

so original… the "Fish Creek Market sign".

James Richards and Mitch Baird with land and water. What a delight to see.  The week was amazing as always! 

         

Mitch dealing with the gnats… painting at Anderson Barn and Museum… along the road in Ephraim.

Stephanie Hartshorn's work … LOVE!

So happy to have met Stephanie Hartshorn… She is such a delight! Her fresh style is wonderful!

My attempt at the Summertime Restaurant in Downtown Fish Creek during the Quick paint where folks like me get to try our hand! 

Miss Mabel, our little vintage camper… was my home away from home during the Door County Plein Air Fest.  I spent a week at the Fish Creek Campground! What a great place!

A shout out to  Mac Ready Artisan Bread Company… for allowing me to eat there daily! Their Door County Chicken Salad on their fresh made daily Artisan bread is so delish!

 If you are a lover of art and if you enjoy watching and creating paintings in all medium… I encourage you to head to the Door County Plein Air Fest next year! Look for me.. I will be there!

Viva's Vintage Market July 2013 a look back

Ok, so I have been without a computer of my own, for months.... still without one that works properly...but I thought I would add some views of this wonderful show!

Angie, former owner of Viva la Cottage in Sister bay, is the promoter of the show... it is a delightful group.  When we arrived on Friday night, they were not only allowing us to set up our spaces, but they were also setting up for a concert on the lawn.  We worked around them.  I had tons of help unloading.. some wonderful friends helped haul things from my truck and helped set up my tent ( could not have done it without them) 

Working the Americana and Campy theme... 

This sale takes place in Door County on the Baileys Harbor Community center Lawn.  Mid July... Watch for it next year!
