Saturday morning we made it over to Richardson for Cottonwood Arts Festival.  The weather was perfect and the art was even better!  I was able to chat with some of my artist friends that were in the show and get caught up on their latest paintings.  I talked with Jerry Brem, Jennifer Cavan (loyal follower of JT), and Brice McCasland.  All of their new stuff looks great!  Check out their web pages!!  There were many new artists that I saw for the first time there that really caught my eye.  Here is a list:

• Rick Harrington - barn oil paintings.  Probably our favorite of the show!
• Gabe Leonard - old west and historical figures on a large scale - awesome!
• Amy Leigh Carstensen - abstract, colorful paintings...really nice!
