Art Day at Wallace Cross Mill


I spent all day Saturday painting the view from the 3rd floor doorway of Wallace Cross Mill near Stewartstown. It was warm up under the metal roof but I'd rather be too warm than too chilly. I enjoyed chatting with visitors who made their way up the steep narrow steps. My 8x10 painting doesn't merit a frame but it was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Volunteers turned on the millworks a dozen times for the benefit of visitors, making the building tremble. It was as if the mill came alive, grumbling & creaking... I tried to imagine the miller operating such equipment 24/7 which they said was the case in its heyday. It was still running
commercially as recently as the 80s.

Long's Park Art & Craft Festival

On Labor Day I spent several hours enjoying the remarkable variety of arts & crafts at Long's Park Art & Craft festival, one of the top 10 nationwide. Weather was perfect, neither too hot nor too chilly with zero rain all weekend long. It's a show I may apply to in 2011. Four days is a long event but the setting in gorgeous, show is well-organized & crowds are enthusiatic. For further info or to see what you missed: http://www.longspark.org/art.html
