Art in the Park - Halmich Park - Warren

July 13 & July 14, 2013

There are a lot of art fairs that are called ‘Art in the Park’! It is kind of like naming the Robin the State of Michigan bird. Really!!

However, whatever the name the results are what counts. The results are heavily influenced by the type of people an art fair draws, the numbers of folks who show up, and the weather. It was hot, but not impossible, and the crowds were OK on both days (exceptional) and even a little more willing to look through the prints on Sunday. Sundays are usually the dog.

I like Warren’s show as much for the above as being able to chat with Michael Peychich (http://mgpphotography.com). Michael is an excellent photographer, instrumental in making this show happen, and a nice guy. Buy his work! I also get to visit with Wally & Rosemary Lubzik. Wally is a commercial photographer (now retired but still working). He does commercial work & fine art photography which he brings to the shows. See his work at www.wallyphoto.com. If you want a story or a joke call him up. This time I got to meet Vivian (3 years with red-blond hair-very cute) and a shorter granddaughter. - Hillary, I think.

My neighbors were nice, and I sold two canvas pieces (Fresh and Rarely Perfect) plus some others. The phrase is that ‘I sold’. Whenever I say that I always think better of it, and think that it would be more appropriate to say, ‘that the print sold itself, and that I just managed the sale!’ Here is Wally taking some pics of the Michigan Renaissance actors as they promoted their festival.
