Art on the Hill

The Art On the Hill festival returned to Mantua on Saturday. Great showcase for area artists of all types. This was the 9th annual show, and the weather was picture perfect. I wandered about the grounds, meeting many interesting people and capturing an array of colorful images.

Wonderful creations made of re-purposed metal objects and finished with vibrant power coatings.

Glass grapes glisten in the late afternoon sun.

A work in progress by the amazing Joe Leonard. Was great to see how his extraordinary carvings emerge from a block of wood/

Always love seeing the juxtaposition of flags and concession stands against the historic landmarks of Prospect Street.
