Update from the Des Moines Arts Festival 2009


I made my first trip down to the Arts Festival yesterday afternoon around 4pm. My friend Todd joined me at about 5:30, and we had a great time. The musical performances by Collective Soul and Gavin DeGraw were great and the art on display this year was awesome.

I always try and make a purchase each year, and for my purchase this year, I purchased a set of original paintings on wood. by Mark Traughber, made with spray paint on primed wood from stencils that he designed and created. Each piece is 4.25″ wide, 6″ tall, .75″ thick. faced with a protective glossy finish. I can’t wait to decide where to install them at in my place!

Here are a few photos I took yesterday evening, it was hard to take photos as I kept getting distracted by the wonderful art.

    So I ended up by two more pieces on Sunday.

    This piece is from Kristina Dvorak, a mixed media collage artist, and is entitled “Challenge Me”

    I also got this piece entitled “Gemini” from another emerging artist, Saharu Fakhraie.
