Friday morning thousands of people filled the park and streets of Winter Park to view the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival. It was well covered by the local media. Here is an article from the Orlando Sentinel, a good overview that includes many photos to really give you the flavor of the event and an idea of the work exhibited: Winter Park Draws Large Crowds


We are looking forward to reports on this past weekend's top show. Here are a few more images:

 

 

Fine quilting by Ginger O'Neil from St. Louis, MO

 

Pastels by Beth Crowder

Glass by Earl James from Cleveland, Ohio. These pieces have Earl's "signature" look all over them, but I didn't recognize the orange piece as one of his and missed attributing this work to Earl earlier.

Here is another article I found in the NewsChief.com (?) about the show in Central Park, but I think this was in Winter Haven -- the works looks wonderful. What is this? another nice-looking show right near Winter Park on the same weekend? Can anyone fill me in on this?
