Saturday was a fun morning with another local favorite event, the weekly downtown Farmer's Market. Tents are set up on Main street outside the Westin Poinsett and local produce, cheeses, plants, art, pottery. I brought my sketchbook with me and worked on another drawing while waiting for Mark and then we sauntered around where I bought some tomatoes and hand-shelled peas. And we always enjoy our breakfast by Soby on the Side.
So of course, this means the writing is not happening right now, but it is re-energizing to be drawing again. Drawing is not my usual approach to paint, I like color and texture, so collage, assemblages and paintings offered me more satisfaction in the past. But now for some reason, I'm finding it highly rewarding to sketch - getting back to my fascination with the face and figure.
I'm also framing some artwork, some of my own for future shows and some for my daughter's new condo. She has been building a collection of original art since she was in her early twenties and now has quite a nice variety of art all by Greenville artists.
...I haven't been to Greenville's art festivals, but visited Charleston's, down through Augusta's two years ago, and dreaded leaving. Such beautiful creations, it even kept the kids interested:)
