Mountainous Canton GA Hosts Fine Art Festival May 19-20, 2012!

In the North Georgia Foothills May 19-20, 2012: Art and Lit Lovers Join In!

by Jude Cowell

If you're out and about in the Canton, Georgia area the weekend of May 19-20, 2012, the Canton Festival of the Arts will provide you and your family with lots of creative inspiration and activities galore.

The Festival includes 50 Fine Arts vendors, a Literary Festival complete with writer's workshop hosted by award-winning Georgia author Terry Kay (To Dance with the White Dog), plus, a Serenity Garden (how cool!) with demonstrations on green and sustainable living, and interactive, hands-on art activities for children of all ages.

So for May 19-20, it's sustainable greenery, a serene mountain setting with Garden, a famous author teaching a writing workshop, plus, a variety of Fine Art suitable for viewing and/or purchasing--what a wonderful weekend is promised at the Canton Festival of the Arts for you, yours, and mine!

Now here's one of my children's drawings recently completed with my preferred colored pencils on paper, May's Fairy Moon:

Beautimus Pillows presents: Pattillo Armadillo

Well, here's Beautimus Pillows' second offering now available in my Zazzle Art Shop: little Pattillo Armadillo! Now this pillow may be perfect for decorating a kid's room, yes? ;p

Beautimus! Owl of Minerva pillows

Okay, so here's the latest Zazzle Merchandise panel from my Jude Cowell Art Shop. Not sure if or when my newest creation--illustration 'Owl of Minerva' as a double-sided throw pillow--will turn up in the panel's slideshow, so check out my art shop whenever you may and browse to your heart's content, 24/7, with no strings attached.

My thought is that an Owl of Minerva pillow is perfect for a child's room, especially one with a magical or botanical theme! And when I have a chance to add to my Zazzle Pillow Gallery, I shall file them in a new Beautimus Pillows folder because that's what I called my designer handsewn line of cushy pillows back in the 1990s!

So look online for 'Beautimus Pillows' by Jude Cowell when your head needs a soft landing or your sofa calls out for a different sort of decorative pillow...

Art Note: Owl of Minerva was previously titled Minerva's Glen and you may see the drawing in full here. Plus, this image is also available as an Art Poster so scroll down a bit for a view and a direct link. Thanks! Jude

Blog Note: am trying an experiment by adding Amazon's MP3 clips widget in the 'New Age' genre...what else for Secret Moon Art browsing? ;p If the music annoys you please advise and I'll delete the widget forthwith and anon! jc

'Path to an Ancient Temple' by Jude Cowell

Have you ever taken a divergent Path to an Ancient Temple?

Then you confirm my suspicion about you, dear viewer!

Cosmic Persona Designs gals visit Secret Moon Art

It's February 11, 2012, and for some unknown reason, Anne, Sybil, and Maeve are visiting Secret Moon Art today though I have no idea why since portraits such as theirs tend to turn up more often in my mildly adult-themed Cosmic Persona Designs collection of illustrations!

Perhaps they slipped by me while I was busily working on my entry into Sketchbook Project 2012...hmmm?




Or maybe the gals are here as reps for the (often secretive) Moon which, in Astrology, signifies women or a woman!


Art Note: My other Art Collections may include:

Cosmic Lilith Art, the chocolaty flavorings of Sepia Art Theater,
and Jude Cowell's Art Shop where you're cordially invited to drop in whenever you may!

Plus, you may wish to check out these Creative Places & People:

Shelli Pabis Photography (my friend of several years), hand-dyed yarns from Spring Tree Road (my fiberista daughter Maya!), and my long-published cousin, author Donny Seagraves. All of us are based in Georgia but you know what 'they say'...y'all come!

So if, like me way down in Georgia, you've ever wondered what it's like working at NYC's wonderful Agora Art Gallery, please allow Karin to fill you in on what it's like working at the gallery direct from an insider's perspective!
