h1. Crosby Art Festival - Sun, Jun 29, 2014

I attended this excellent art festival from about 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. I would have stayed longer, but small storms popped up, and, of course, I left the windows up at home. The storms, however, stayed away from the art festival and missed west Toledo, so I could have stayed.

more.

I bought two paintings. One was a watercolor by Lu Fuller of Kentucky Farm Studio and the other a pastel by Anne Kindl.

Some of the artists that I enjoyed:

* Deb Link - Galena, OH - oil painter. I saw her at the Country Living Fair in Columbus a year or two ago. She produces great landscapes. Some day, I'd like to purchase one of her large originals.
* A. Cesar Nogueira - stone bird carver or sculptor. this guy produced amazing works.
