November 3, 2008 - Jared Emerson painting George Hincapie

I was flattered to be asked to photograph Jared working on his painting of George Hincapie … It is exciting to see the artistic process as it unfolds … In fact that is one of the great things about Greenville. Not only can you stop by an artist studio during the annual Open Studio event and the monthly First Friday events, in many cases the public has access to their studios on a daily bases.

I would like to mention that Jared’s painting of George Hincapie will be signed by George and then auctioned for charity at the Expression III Fall Fashion Show 2008. Local readers can stop by Jared’s studio and watch the painting be created then attended the Fall Fashion Show and submit a bid.

Following are a few extra photos showing Jared working on the painting.

June 8, 2008 - The daylilies along River Walk

Today’s photo was taken a short distance from yesterday’s photo. Both photos show the dalylilies in full bloom along River Walk in downtown Greenville ( map location ). The sidewalk mural was created by Hani Shihada during Artisphere. Previously I shared this photo of the mural when it was first started.

June 3, 2008 - Alice’s House of Beauty

Today, I’m sharing this photo to show that there is beauty even in a boarded up store front (smile) … I suspect that if I visit this store in a year or two it will be a renovated art gallery as is so many of it’s neighbors on Pendelton steet.

May 25, 2008 - Drummer Will and his entourage

This weekend we listened to Drummer Will as he performed at the Saturday Market. He was very entertaining and the crowed loved it. I recommend our readers visit the Drummer Will website and listen to his music including original compositions. There are videos on his website as well.

May 13, 2008 - Bill Burns painting the set for a Shakespeare performance

Today’s photo show Bill Burns painting the set for an upcoming performance of Shakespeare. The next performance is “Pericles, Prince of Tyre” on May 15-18th. Connie and I have enjoyed every performance we have attended … Bill was gracious in allowing me to take and share his photograph. In addition Bill shared a little about himself. He is poet, painter, and professor. Also, as the photo shows Bill performs a pivotal part in preparation for the performances put on by the Upstate Shakespeare Festival … Following are few extra images:

April 21, 2008 - The School of Carolina Ballet Theater (CBT)

We had a great time Sunday afternoon watching the School of Carolina Ballet Theater (CBT) perform at Artisphere. The crowd loved it especially the kids. You can see them lined up in front of the stage in one of the extra thumbnails shown below.

April 20, 2008 - The crowds came out to enjoy Artisphere

The rain stopped, the clouds begin to clear, and the crowds came out to enjoy Artisphere in downtown Greenville. We enjoyed artist row, a meal from Smoke on the Water, and listen to blues played at the Bi-Lo stage. That was in the afternoon. We went out in the evening and listened to Susan Tedeschi play at the Peace Center Amphitheater. Personally I think Susan’s music is very reminiscent to Janis Joplin.
