a work in progress

Mark Hughes, the artist behind Regalia Handmade Clothing made a big impression walking in his fantasy bug costume. Too bad I didn’t get a good shot of the amazingly cute bug butt or his awesome giant eyeglasses.

The Art Colony wowed us with a great float and lots of dancing art faeries. Show above are Robert Beauford who works in jewelry and Jerri Stevens, one of my favorite painters. Not pictured, unfortunately, is Robert’s lovely wife, Wendi La Fey, who flitted about dispensing packages of marigold seeds to the crowd lining the street. Wendi is a portrait artist and she and Robert recently moved to Eureka Springs from Taos. They have opened the Hummingbird Gallery on Main St.  I’m sure I’ll have more to share about these new friends of mine and their talents as the May Festival of the Arts progresses.
