"Art on the Green"

  Hudson, Ohio hosts Art on the Green every year in August.   Artists from all over the state display their work.   It is a juried show.   The art ranges from  acrylics, jewelry, oils, photography, pottery, watercolors and a variety of crafts.    There is food and drink available.   It is a festive atmosphere.  So much to see.
The town itself is a lovely place to visit.  In the square there is a Gazebo.
 
 
 
President Lincoln stopped here on his way to Washington for his first inaugural.   A crowd of 6000 greeted him at the old Hudson Depot.  
 
The art show is situated in the shady part of the town.       
 
 
 
 Dick and I have been coming here for several years.   He knows it is something I look forward to at the end of summer. 
How quickly the day goes.   It is wonderful to see so much talent in one place.   I come home tired but inspired.      
    
 
 

Hope you find some inspiration too!    
God Bless

  2. It looks like such a fun day! I think walking around in the heat and humidity would do me in though. I wish I had some of the energy and zest I used to have. I hope you had a blast! Love that final photo too, Debbie.

  3. I've been to Hudson once or twice, and it really is a charming little town! I wish I had known about the art show! Your sunflower painting is gorgeous and I like what you wrote about them.

Stillness

 The stillness of winter has arrived.  It brings quiet and moments of reflection.  Every season holds beauty...  this time of the year is no...
