I'm impressed. The Carmel Art Festival website does not have direct links to the juried artists websites like the blog does. Really first class.
The artist's website's are as individualized as they are. I like Michael Situ's thumbnail paintings and I was impressed by Po Pin Lin's biography from Taiwan to the U.S. His bio is a testment to his talent, belief in his artistic vision and a country which allows him freedom to artistically express himself.
I really learned a lot from each of the artist's websites. Thank you, the sites are so easy to access, just a click away. Thanks again.
