Lewes Historical Society Art Show








Would you buy art from this man??? (He stashes his "bloodies" behind his booth...wink wink)

Apparently last year's show was a great turnout with quite a few sales. This year seemed a little on the sparse side with even sparser sales. Quite a few discussions were had regarding the economy, the lack of faith in the economy and troubles in Washington (a nice way to put what was really being said. At one point I was offered a tin of "National EmbarassMINTS). Nuff said.

The show was held at the Children's Beach House, which is always a wonderful place to be and was superbly hosted by RICH GARRETT and his staff of volunteers and otherwise. Rich looks quite adorable in a kitchen apron. Ask him about his giant potato masher. Julie Molyneaux was the featured artist. Love her work! She also brough her 8 week old Rottweiler puppy "Bella" to visit. Everyone fell instantly in love.

So anyway, here are some various pics of various booths and artists, including: Anne Hannah, Kathy Buschi, Kevin Fleming, Julie Molyneaux, Joyce Ziegler, Nick Serratore (the crazy dude in the first picture who was nipping Bloody Mary's.)He does beautiful pastels. It's really like being in a candy store at these things. So much great art to see, most of us just want to wander and check out everyone's work but aren't really able to very much.

Support your local artists, we are blessed with so much talent here in Sussex County. Buy art and forget the economy! Thanks Leo and Peggy!
