"Passion is one great force that unleashes creativity, because if you're passionate about something, then you're more willing to take risks." Yo-Yo Ma
....it pours, at least it did at yesterdays annual Art In The Park held by the Pearson Lakes Art Center. It started with a little sprinkling and by the time we were midway into tent raising, with much help from other artists next to us, the sprinkles turned to a pour and lasted until about noon. My wife and I scrambled until 1:00 p.m. getting panels put up, work hung, cards laid out, etc. Meanwhile people are walking in and out, asking questions and purchasing items. It was crazy, but the best 3 hours of sales I could imagine. While I was drip drying for an hour after we set up, still wearing a pair of water proof chore boots from farming days, I regained my composure after the whirlwind set up. I owe all the visitors and customers alike a big thank you for visiting with us, asking questions, purchasing work and showing their kindness and understanding.
The blog image is from the wooden boat show at the Arnolds Park Amusement Park in Arnolds Park, Iowa a week ago. This annual event is always a show stopper as some really beautiful and unusual wooden boats are lined up for the afternoon while visitors window shop, day dream, and reminisce. This was a hand held shot with my Canon 5D Mark IV using the HDR setting in the camera, which is pretty amazing...to me at least. I just finished the editing/creative process a few minutes ago after using Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz Studio during the processing, including the Studio Impression painting app.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of summer. Where did summer go?
