Found a street festival in nearby Takoma Park!  I came out onto the street, my post-yoga coffee in hand, and paused as I took in all the white tents.  There are many street festivals now-a-days, hoping to get in early on the holiday shoppers and with good reason.  I had thought that the Takoma Park festival was going to be fairly small, but I wasn’t even able to finish visiting all the tents!

I saw some watercolors, large and small.  There was another gal who offered pastels of locations to which she had travelled, large and small, from all over: New Mexico, Arizona, Michigan, and other places.  The Tile Company did tiles, herons, cats, fish, flowers with beautiful colors and glazes?  I ran into a gal who has done line drawings of local areas.  She also does custom pet portraits in watercolor!  One more gal did local areas, Annapolis and marine, fishing sort of topics.

So, it was a very thorough sample of the sort of artwork that created in my area.  What I enjoy is that these folks are doing what they enjoy doing.  This seems to echo what I’ve heard, “Draw For Yourself” or “Paint What Interests You”.

This is some of the research I’m doing to decide where MY Art fits in.
