 With brilliant sun, a blue sky, and temperatures in the mid-70s, yesterday was indeed “picture perfect” for an outdoor art show (except for those unfriendly mosquitoes).   The bright sun and dark shadows — and hat brims — made conditions tricky for the amateur photographer from this weblog, but I believe you’ll agree that the 59th Stockade Outdoor Art Show was a sparkling success.  Please tell me (by email or a comment below) if I mislabel the art or the people, and let me know the names of artists who I have not been able to identify for many of the pieces below.

Here are images that caught my eye (plus some of my favorite people):

– while the elders worked the kids played at the 59th Stockade Outdoor Art Show -.

–  Meanwhile, Officer Green does his job – to schmooze and protect –

Finally (for now at least), we always think of Lawrence the Indian as the backdrop for the Outdoor Art Show.  For me, however, St. George’s Church on N. Ferry St. makes the more interesting background or foil for Art Show activities and sights.  As with the corn chowder photo above, the light and shadows yesterday made the Church especially appropriate as part of an outdoor art exhibition.
