Port Townsend, Washington.March 28 to April 1.
there were over 500 people at artfest but by looking at my photo's it looks like there were only about 5 !!!
If you follow this link you can see all my photo's as a slide show
This was one amazing trip, I am still soaking it all in !!!
On the second day they opened the 8x8 art gallery were all the people who attended artfest were invited to sell up to 3 8x8 pieces of there art work I was lucky and sold all 3 of my fragment pieces:
Look at what came home we me!!!
"root"
Made by: Rhonda Scott
the minute I saw it I just new it had to be mine!!!
it was made by Rhonda Scott
Who I was lucky to meet on our last day just as I was picking up this amazing piece of art ...
Her soul was just as joyous as her art! :)
(Rhonda, the piece made it home safe! Please let your Husband know that it has a home where it is truly loved and admired!)

This is what I did in my first class and Patricia Seggebruch was one great teacher and wonderful lady! you have to look at her art!
smooth surfaces, and transparent paints.
My second class was with Anne Bagby... all I can do is bow down to all of you who have a way with paint and line drawing... this is not my calling but Anne is one great Teacher and one Amazing artist!!!
After a little to much fun here the night before
I crawled to my last class with Susan Lenart Kazmer
Susan is such a doll!!! I really loved her and her class!!! she is such a warm and giving artist so willing to share her creative process! I have long admired her style but to see her art up close was amazing all the details in her art can only be fully appreciate up close.
Susan took pity on me and was so kind to hold my tired hand and help me make it through her class!!!

blog friends meet at gallery night! :)
it was really hard to process meeting people that you know so well, but only through there art... trying to place the face with there online persona was quite the challenge!!!I wish I had found a way to spend more time talking with more people...
everyone was so creative and friendly... smile's are defiantly contagious!!!
And a BIG thanks to my house mates for all your creativity the food, wine, fun , smiles and midnight giggles!!!

Ruth, all the photos you took are so great! I really enjoyed going through the slide show... I wish I was still there. I feel like I am completely changed because of ArtFest and also like I left a little bit of myself up at Port Townsend. It's strange. It has been extremely difficult for me to get back in the groove of 'real life'. Sigh.
And I'm thrilled that you came home with Rhonda's piece. It's gorgeous!
I love all of your photos! I am so vert happy I got to meet you!
ruth, thank you for writing about Artfest. I enjoyed it through your description and photos!! such a wonderful work done there!!
