When the Big Easel began, the event was about paintings. Over time, other categories were introduced to the event and have done very well. But at the end of the day, the word easel is in the name of the event and the majority of participants are painters. Every year, I am asked to pre-select some favorites that I know are going to be at The Big Easel. This year I have selected 15 pieces by 11 artists that I think are fantastic. I have also selected favorites in all categories over the last few months on The Big Easel Facebook page which you can see here. And in yesterday's preview, I selected some personal favorites in other categories represented at The Big Easel including works on paper paintings.
SOOOO, for now.....enjoy these pieces as a preview of Saturday's event...and if you are in Louisiana on Saturday, be in Lafayette at THE BIG EASEL! And, as always, if you need more info on any piece I feature, just let me know.
