 ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival Booth and Crowd Photos  What a fabulous time I had at the ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival in Jupiter, Florida.  I enjoyed talking to so many people about my landscape and seascape paintings.  I have some new art collectors too!  We could not ask for better weather--Mid 70s with a nice breeze!  The crowds were steady, and it was  easy to set up and load out.  The Northern Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce did a great job of training and helping the emerging artists with their first art show!
