Hope by Ron Warford, 40' x 30 " Graphite on Black Board, Framed 
Mr. Warford's work was selected by the Smithsonian Institution for a national traveling exhibition in 1973. He was one of the initial founding and teaching members at the Folk Art Gallery in Syracuse. His work spings from his imagination and is masterfully executed. Tel (315) 391-5115 for more info or to purchase. One of the presidents of a local art guild referred to Ron's work as  "master works" for their power and quality.

Strength , by Ron Warford. 20 " X 30"  

Home is Where the Hearth Is by Jaws. This piece took 600 hours. Amazingly, to produce this the artist had to put the snowflakes  in first on a white fine piece of paper and then build everything around it. Think about it - this amazing work, and other pieces of the artists work can be seen at CNY Artists Gallery, which purchased this piece in 2013.

On a personal note, last year was my first atempt at being part of this event.  I brrowed a 10x10 display tent from a friend, rented a U-Haul bc my husband's jeep wasn't enough space, and with loads of help from my husband I was able to get everything there and displayed.  I went overboard- my paintings are huge, and the tent was small, but it was a nice day and my designated spot was at the bottom of a hill in front of a house, so I displayed my paintings up the hill so they could be seen from across the road as you went by.  There were no conservative restrictions, so I was able to display ALL my paintings- nudes and all!  We finished setting up early, then realized we forgot breakfast.  When the cart across the road opened, we got crappy bad-for-us food.  I was able to walk around and see everyone else's art, and even bought myself a necklace from the lady in the tent next to mine.  (I love shiny things!)  It was wonderful- and this is where I met Peter- until I got very, very sick.  I had an intestinal blockage, and was trying to go to the porta-potty repeatedly, sweating a cold sweat, cramping miserably, dizzy etc.  Sometimes I would have to wait in line at the porta-potty, and couldn't hold myself up.  I was so dizzy and in pain I had a hard time finding my way back to my tent.  Apparently I was very pale, and nearly passed out afte reach wave of cramps.  Someone found a nurse, who called 911 and had me taken to the hospital in an ambulance.  Since they had closed the road off for the event, this was a horrible spectacle.  I was at the hospital for three days- and somehow my husband was able to pack all my paintings back up and return the U-haul. 

Despite this, I am going to try again this year!!  I am going to have one tent for Fowler High School students (my daily life is as their high school teacher) and one tent I will share with the other two high school teachers for our personal art.  Not sure how that will work, as my paintings are so large, but maybe we will get a hill again!  And of course, I wouldn't be on this site at all if I hadn't been there that morning last year!
