Despite the weather ranging from overcast to just gorpy - the beer festival was great. Lots of good beers to try, great chicken kebab from one of the food trucks, and I WON SOME ART!
It’s at the local arts center and they had art battles - 3 rounds where the artists had a theme & 45 minutes to create things and they made some AMAZING work. Everyone had raffle tickets to try and win what they liked, and I got lucky!
As I watched this piece come together, I fell in love - the photo doesn’t do justice to how vibrant it is. (I wish we had some sun today to give it better lighting.)
It’s by Serina Chowdhury - so glad she signed it because I was so excited that I won it that I forgot to ask her name, but I could at least look her up this morning. 😳 But she definitely got the message that the weird lady REALLY liked the pink tigers!
The other wild thing about being an adult is when you realize you don’t have to be a lottery winner to get awesome original art - the artist is Helena O’Neill - and I got this piece yesterday. I have another piece she did from last year’s festival and that is when we found out that we know her daughter! She was the featured artist this year and her art is almost all nature themed, which is my jam, and I’d buy all of it if I could.
