Art in More Detail

Water color by past Paragould resident.

My last blog was Art in the House.  I wanted to share art in more detail.  Art Stroll sponsored by Main Street Paragould is this Thursday night.  The weather prediction is for perfect weather and you might discover a new local artist that might capture a mood or feeling you have been having.

Pastel by Merle Mueller.  She is no longer with us.  She was once owner and editor of  "The Spotlight"  a local newspaper.

"Binary Star System, Sunset" by Edwin Faughn past resident of Oak Grove.  This photograph was taken in 1997.  Edwin is with the Pink Palace in Memphis now.

Pet portrait by Gail Ford of Rector.  She is showing at Art Stroll and has donated a contemporary work to be given away this year at Art Stroll.  Great local talent.

Watercolor by Maria Bustimante.  This was purchased at one of the first Art Stroll events.  Doesn't show up well in photo but it depicts a lazy river, local geography.

Both of these works are by Sara Howell.  Artist and gallery owner from Jonesboro.

This is an oil painting done by local artist Roberta Castleberry.   She works in oil and watercolor.

This wire and bead sculptured cross was given to me by a friend in memory of my mother.  She purchased it at Sandra Holt's Gallery.  The gallery is a wonderful addition to our Main Street line up.  Sandra also does professional and excellent framing.  Be sure and visit her gallery during Art Stroll to see what is new.

We have had and have some talented artist in this area.  You might discover art by someone you know.  The event will also offer specials by Main Street merchants, food, beverages and music.  An event not to be missed by the residents of Norheast Arkansas.  I'll be there Thursday night and hope to see you.
