I'm excited to attend the 36th annual Midwest Salute to the Arts in Fairview Heights, IL this year! I've heard a lot of good things about this festival from other artists and look forward to a fun time.
This festival features a Children's Gallery on Saturday and Sunday where children get to go into the gallery and, for $10, select any of the artwork on display, without mom & dad! I always enjoy watching children explore my booth and watch their expressions as they view my paintings. So, I'm happy to be donating a couple of my 'Small Wonders' paintings to the gallery.
I've been working quite a bit in my studio and will have a bunch of new pieces on display in my booth, including new rocket, raygun, and robot originals. I don't have reproductions of all of the new originals, but a select few will make their way onto this site soon.
Here are more details about the festival:
