So many of you ask me how the season is going, I thought I would give a quick update with some photos of our last show. The 6th of 7 shows this season! (and a bit of shameless self promotion) Skip & I just got home from Sunfest, West Palm Beach and although the sales were not as strong as we hoped they would be, I did take an award (free money!) and the event was a blast.  Sunfest is 4 days long and a bit grueling but a great opportunity to really get to know our artist neighbors, For the past 3 years we have been next to Klaus Schuler, a Pratt Whitney engineer that opted out and has been on the road doing art shows for the past 15 years.

Spring 2006 Sunfest West Palm Beach

What a terrific surprise to find an old friend and local artist at the other end of the show.  Carl Knickerbocker and his ART CAR!  He was there with several other art car artists! Carl did the Cassleberry Art House mural!  A bit of synchronicity!

I know, you cannot read the list of names on the winners board, but mine is there!  Way down at the bottom, but it's there!

Sunfest is one of the few outdoor art shows that goes into the night, all of the tents lit up at night is really a wonderful sight!  Wish I had a decent camera to get a "night shot" dusk is the best I could squeeze off.  That's  my tent (center) and the Trump Tower behind us.

This is really a "festival" with 3 stages and non-stop musical entertainment.  More like a Mardi-Gras (beads included) atmosphere.  One of my favorites is the Bahamian Junkanoo band that marches several times daily through the streets, there are literally people dancing in the streets.

This year (and the past 2 years) we have been right on the water, this is the view from inside the tent looking out. We get to spent 4 days with this view and the Palm beach yachts that cruise up and down.  It's hard to see, from this point but that white roof top to the left is Captn' Morgans floating BARge.  Nice to have it this close! This was Sunday afternoon, with the closing act Lynyrd Skynyrd to play that evening.  This was a really interesting and different crowd!

and....... wonderful Skip, explaining, for what seems to be the millionth time  "the process" of layered paper pastel.  He is the best, but I suspect he and the other artist's partners are forming  the AA (artist assistants) Union.  There seems to be an unusual amount of griping about long hours, lousy pay and poor working conditions!

It is wrap up time and I am heading into my last show of the Spring season in Atlanta (first week of June).  I am truly, truly looking forward to the "Artist's Way" and a quiet creative summer.  I have had an awesome spring season, but the wonder lust is getting a bit dull and I am ready to be                                                                                                                             immobile in Casselberry!                                                                                                                             Artfully.                                                                                                                      Cheryl Jones Evans
