This is a very obliging Mom.
My job was to meet them there and pick up Christina for the return home. I had some time to fill while they had their fun. So I wandered around.
I got to meet the artist Abraxas, of Milton. I've been following his career for a while. Abraxas paints in an almost photo-realist style; but he takes reality just a step farther and does, frankly, magical things with light. Have a look at his view of the Kalmar Nyckel, for example. It was a pleasure to talk with him.
There were people wandering everywhere. There were painters, glass artists, potters, sculptors, and musicians.

It turned out that I knew this fellow from occasional phone calls when he was in a previous job with the state. We had a nice chat.
He had a cute miniature windmill (solar-powered, ironically) and a set of panoramic views of the ocean from a variety of Delaware-shore vantage points. Each panorama is doubled; one showing the view without the wind-farm, the other showing just how little the wind-farm would be visible.
I asked what his reception had been among the art-show patrons. He said most people have been supportive. Those few who objected, he said, had a problem with being able to see the wind-farm at all from the shore. He said he can respect that concern.

This is just one of the glass putters I looked at in his booth. It is a glowing green with flecks of gold leaf within it.
These putters are apparently functional as well as beautiful. He reports that several purchasers are using these putters on courses on a regular basis with no complaints.
The heft of the thing was a bit different, but I could see myself playing with one of these.
It couldn't possibly make my putting any worse, could it?
Mr. Cavagnaro doesn't appear to have a web site, but I took his card so we will have his e-mail: J[DOT]CAVAGNARO[AT]MCHSI[DOT]COM. Just in case anyone wants to order, I don't know, some sort of product. Or something.

Keep up the GREAT work! This beach through the earthen ware is really nice!
Thanks Jody. I wasn't aware that you guys were related; and I wasn't thinking you are old enough to have a grown son!
I'm sorry I had not found your blog yet, and thanks for the pointer to Kevin's blog. I'll add both to my "Delaware Blogs" roll.
Hi, Mike. I'm a native Delawarian and was so ecstatic to find your blog.
I've been trying to "network" with other Delaware bloggers. I feel like the only fish in the sea.
Anyway....
I forgot all about the Bethany Beach Arts festival.
I went many years back & had such a great time....and brought home some marvelous pottery.
Great site & I'll be back to visit again.
