1. Watercolor painter Scott Hartley won Best of Show in Belleville, IL, at Art on the Square. Scott has been participating in art fairs for 37 years. I remember being next to him at Art and Apples in Rochester, MI, many years ago when you could buy an original for $10. Those were the days!

2. I'm hoping for a report from Texas on the Gulf Coast Arts Festival (year 2), here's a little info: http://thefacts.com/news/article_676803dd-d139-527a-a9e7-87a22f13314f.html ;
3. And did I hear that uber member of AFI, Robert Wallis, took a nice ribbon at the Gumtree Festival in Tupelo? Here's a good story with insider info : https://djournal.com/lifestyle/gumtree-arts-festival-showcases-local-state-artists/
and have to share this photo of the prizewinners from The Woodlands Arts Festival. Do you recognize any of these folks? I see Steve Kostyshyn, Jay McDougall and Greg Strachov. Who else is in this image?
