St. James Court Art Show

Ahhhh . . . October. October is my favorite month of the year, so many good things about it. For me it's a month that's jam packed full of events. The first of which is the St. James Court Art Show.

This annual show is held the first weekend in October. That's this weekend! St. James Court Art Show is in Louisville, KY in a very picturesque neighborhood that's full of huge old, Victorian era houses. It is a large show, this year there were 750 artists, and it is consistently ranked among the best art shows in the U.S. I usually attend two or all three days, it's that big!

Here are a few pictures from the show. These are artists whose work struck a chord with me. The first is Linda Chamberlain of Simple Works:


The texture of her work is amazing.


Then there are these wonderful journals by Teresa Merriman of Moind's Eye Journals:


I really loved these journals. Each one is different and unique with luscious, deckle-edged pages.


Then there are the lovely little faerie houses by Bell and Frank Barr. They are ceramic with copper roofs and "vines":


They even decorated the step-up to their booth!


That's all for today. Tomorrow I'll have more from the art show!
