RenFest Thank you- 2008

I can't find the words to describe how this wonderful "Thank you"
made me feel. I enjoy painting and have painted even more for this years festival.
It is such a neat experience to see the changes that take place and seeing the admiration and
hearing the thank you's from all of the rennies and non rennies that help bring the ren fest together are thank you enough in my heart.

Sharing pics of items I've painted here and there

Since I love to paint ... I paint more than oil paintings - etc. I also do some face painting and will share some photo's of those with you too. Some have made the town newspaper front page . My blog here will be a variety of items shared here of things I have painted - or a basic 'diary' - as I continue to draw/paint and await the grand opening of my store and gallery . I will be placing some freebies ( tubes ) here off and on too- so keep checking back.

This picture is from the children game area of the Mid Michigan RenFest.

The Mid Michigan Renaissance Festival takes place in the woods behind my house. My parents, George Henry and Jessie Roberta Grainger owned the property for years... upon their passing, the property now belongs to one of my sisters Toni Knoll. Toni and her son ( my nephew, of course ) became partners with Chuck and Wendy Hough and with the help of many other RenFest people, family, friends, neighbors and more , the woods became " The Mid Michigan Renaissance Festival "
It has a successful year last year and is open again this year.
Check below for more information.

Painting #1 a seascape with mountains and trees. Painting#2 is another seascape and the lighthouse at Point Clark along the Lake Huron shore in Canada.( the oldest working lighthouse, for 150 years ( 2009 ) These are done by a close friend of mine, in Canada
Artist: Jim Hall, originally from Kincardine, Canada, lived all his life along Lake Huron. This is his frist attempt at painting, jim was blinded from a motorcycle accident 15 years ago. He is another form of artist also, he sings and also writes poetry.
