Alexandria Festival of the Arts



Booth locations have been announced for the 8th Annual Festival, one of the largest and best ranked art shows in the nation--we are in the 100 block of King Street, close to Lee Street and opposite the Wharf Restaurant. Watercolor paintings are featured. Abstracted cave paintings using techniques capturing a dynamic energy specific to the art of the respective caves. The symbols and drawings known from a certain cave are arranged in a dynamic featuring not how it appears, but how it is noticed. Other watercolors are also abstracted using a very strucutred technique producing a strongly contrasting color array. Others are just fun interpretations. Among the large watercolor paintings are small 8x10 canvas paintings highlighting typical cave art animal sketches. There will also be a variety of canvas paintings in the "sale bin".
