Heritage Fest Art Show at Brick Street Market, Delavan

Delavan's Heritage Fest included a great Art Show (Aug. 27th - Sept. 1st) of over 30 local artists, held at Brick Street Market's new location, a great venue for art, and a wonderful place to check out for lunch, for wine & cheese and more!   An Artist Reception was held Thurs., August 27th, 5 - 7 p.m.

These were some of my entries in the show... More photos of the artists and their work can be found on my Facebook site HERE.

The Making of a Saint Icon... Saint Joel Prather aka Fr. Joel

I had some fun creating a look alike ICON of Fr. Joel, which I titled Saint Joel, for his birthday gift.

I used an old ceiling fan blade, and decoupaged on it pages from the Book of Joel, from an old "rescue" Bible.  And then added in 3-D the body and head of St. Joel.

I love how it turned out, and Fr. Joel seemed to love it too!

Here's a photo of the real Father Joel so you can tell how much my rendition really DOES look like him!
