Now Back to the Regularly Scheduled Program

Jared, Jeremy and I went the Waterfowl Festival in Easton last weekend. There were lots of things to see, tons of delicious food (like cream of crab soup, oyster fritters and the like) and a lot of artists. Some were local but there were also some that traveled a long way to be there!



My favorite artist was Don Rambadt. He did some metal work sculptures. I took a photo of one of his larger pieces, an osprey that he had outside the church where the gallery was set up. I did not take any photos inside because I was not sure how all the artists inside felt about photos being taken of their work. Jeremy and Jared really liked him too. His work is distinctive and he put a lot of thought into each of his pieces. My favorite was this little chickadee. Jeremy was also very impressed with the chickadee, he said that as simple as it was of a sculpture, it was also very obviously a chickadee. Jared really liked this set of owls that when you looked at them straight on it was obviously owls, but when you looked at them from a different perspective, it was not clear at all what they were. You can find a few examples of his work here.
