Our new place is only one block from the Victoria Art Gallery on Moss Street. This past Saturday was the free annual Moss Street Paint-In where famous local, national, and even some international artist had booths from one end of Moss to the other. To give you an idea of the enormity of the event, the booths spanned about 14 city blocks!
What makes this even special is that the artists actually work on their art right in front of you! Of course they also have their art displayed to sell as well.
The above picture is of probably the most famous living Canadian Painters, Ted Harrison. He is one of Matt's favourites. To see this 85 year old in action was truly amazing!
Of course, we also loved the Japanese ceramicists and their tea related pieces.

Did you get some art for your new place?
Jo,
No nothing really jumped out at us except things that were way too expensive.
We still haven't completely decided on some of the design concepts of our rooms yet so art choices are a bit tough.
You and Chris would have loved this art fest.
Matt & Alissa
