Asheville of 1000 Easels

I headed out yesterday afternoon with the kids in tow for some local artist appreciation at the City of 1000 Easels tour yesterday, sponsored by the Asheville Area Arts Council.  It was a  truly inspiring sight to see all of these artists out of the studio and into the streets.  The kids and I talked with several wonderful folks and we discussed technique, inspiration, and having fun with it.  We became aware of so many talented people we might otherwise miss out on; many who participated yesterday are not represented in the local gallery scene.   The weather was crisp, the light was strong and the paint was flowing!  My personal mission for this event was to capture portraits of the artists themselves and the people interacting with them.

Too much fun and beauty for just one shot so check out the 1000 Easels Gallery I set up here:
