Art at the Fair

I went to the fair tonight with a group and checked out the professional art show.

Of course, I am somewhat biased to my friends who are in the show. Jocelyn’s piece was “Emily with the Blues” and is one of my favorites in the show.

Another one I loved was Kathie Moore’s piece. I didn’t get a decent pic of it because of light reflection, but it’s beautiful. Kathie and I were in a book club together years ago and are now very involved with the democrats locally.

Don Fuller, who I’m on a board with, won the Hutchinson Art Center’s Grand Award for his mixed media work called, “Balancing Act.”

J. Alex Potter got an award of merit for her pastel of pears. I adore her work. It’s always amazing. Her work is way out of my price range but I certainly admire it. Being in her house feels like being in a really fun art museum to me – really great. I didn’t get a good shot of her entry this year, but it’s wonderful.

Hutchinson is such a small community that I realized as I was looking at the art that I knew all but a couple of the Hutchinson artists, either personally or through mutual acquaintances.

There were pieces there from all over the state, of course. I really enjoyed this particular one from an artist, Marty Ferguson, of Wichita. Beautiful work.

It’s always interesting to see what the judge picks from year to year. This year it seems to be the slightly unusual, but not too far out there, things. It varies from one year to the next. That’s one of the great things about art – different strokes for different folks.
