We went to the Renaissance Man/Woman of the Year Competition today, held at the Chattanooga Open Air Market located at the First Tennessee Pavilion. It was a hot, hot day. Carol (my wife) and I met lots of local people, art lovers and artists, who had gathered in the attempt to raise money for a charity called the SISKIN Foundation that works with children with disabilities. We also met a wonderful couple who run a local restaurant called The Yellow Spot. They were kind enough to share with us a free, delicious lunch of peach yerba mate tea and sandwiches (delicious!). We didn’t win the contest, but we did have a great day visiting the city.
It was lovely meeting you & your wife at the Renaissance Competition. I felt as if we were all winners. Keep up the awesome art!!! Your style is captivating. You have great balance and flow in your works.
My best,
