Ann Arbor Art Fair This Week

Leave a Comment The Ann Arbor art fair is the best art fair that I have been to. Although it has been downsized over the last couple years, it is still the largest and most diverse art fair in the area. The art fair starts Wednesday July 15th – Saturday July 18th. Located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. While you are there you can also enjoy Ann Arbor’s shopping and Restaurants. Visit the art fair website at: www.artfair.org
I will be looking for one artist in particular I saw last weekend at the St Joseph, MI art fair – Patrick Whalen. His photography was different from any other artist at the art fair. His images pop with vivid color and are unique subjects. Some a little more abstract and some just interesting. He also had a great personality. When we asked “how do you get your colors so vivid” he said “I hit the pop button”. The painting that I liked best was of a winding road with the yellow guardrail popping in the forefront. It was only $350 and quite large but couldn’t afford it for right now.

Leave a Comment The site: http://www.colourlovers.com/ is great for color pallette ideas & patterns. You can view the archives or create your own custom color palette or pattern. What’s even better? Once you create your pattern/color palette, you can download the .ai file (or other file options). You do have to register (it’s free) to download but it will load the colors right into your Illustrator color palette -as RGB.
