The drunk guys who came up to the beautifully framed canvas of Waterhouse La Belle Dame Sans Merci and starting poking the canvas with their fingers, saying "the Pre-Raphs were freaking HOT. They were HOT!" (imagine said in a drunk voice)
The lady on Sunday who pulled out a print of Alain Chartier by Leighton, and said "it looks like they're lining up to kiss him!"
Also, Tess had a really neat cotton tapestry for sale, with art inspired by Waterhouse's Destiny. Check it out!

Wow! she must really be on the mend! I'm so glad :-)
OH YEAH! Bring it on, Grace! That tapestry is TDF! I was thinking about you dear friend and wondering how this festival went! I am sooooo glad to hear that Tess was up for it; it was great of you to help her out. It looks like you got some laughs out of the weekend as well! I have a question for you. What image is your favorite of the pre-raphs? Let me know. I have an art project and I want to give you something. Anita
Hi Grace! Thanks for stopping by. Thanks as well for giving me the answer to my question; it would be hard to select a favorite among these works...Ruben and I went to the Minneapolis library this weekend and did some research on some art. It was a blast and we are going to either purchase something or scan from the old portfolios that are public domain...I will contact you later. Have a smashing day! Anita
