Art!

I bought art.
I am happy :-)

This past weekend we went to a thing called the Indiana Artisan Marketplace. It was pretty cool. Definitely not your typical arts & craft show. I know I've talked about this before, how I can pretty much breeze through one of those shows because it's mostly the same kind of thing. My husband actually said it perfectly, "Some people are very talented and some people are very industrious." THAT'S IT!  Of course I can appreciate the technique and/or skill involved in making pottery or quilts. And I concede that it takes a bit of creativity to design something. But true artistic talent is simply, extraordinary! Only occasionally do I walk past a booth and stop in my tracks because I LOVE or am moved by what I see. This happened to me several times on Sunday! There were a couple different wood workers, a gal who made leather moccasins and boots and a chap who did watercolors. His art was AWESOME! He has a real gift. So I bought one of his paintings;

I would have peed my pants to have this one;

but it was $1200! 

This one here, I could afford :-)

The artists name is Terry Armstrong. He was a delightful human. You can find him at http://www.terryarmstrong.net/
