If you didn't make it to downtown Greenfield for the "Black and White and Read All Over" event, you missed a great time. It was beautiful weather, and lots of people stopped by to watch the excitement.
Stationed out in front of the Creative Arts and Event Center were 5 red canvases. Groups of 2 or 3 used Black and white paint to create a group work of art honoring Edgar Allan Poe (who consequently died on the day that James Whitcomb Riley was born.)
The supplies were spread out on a table (including "abSINthe" which was actually tea).
The painting began amidst laughter and the awed voices from the crowd. "Wow. This is cool." "How artsy!" "How much would someone pay for a painting that size?"
As the the sun went down - the paintings neared completion and all were in amazement.
The crowds gathered to watch and comment and be inspired.
And they were . . .
The paintings will be on display at the Hancock County Public Library for the remainder of October during their month long Poe celebration.
Thanks to everyone for your support!
