Skatepark Fundraiser
My real reason for visiting Taylor, Texas today was the Skatepark Fundraiser put on by Project Loop. Over 150 artists contributed art on skateboards to help raise money for the kids of Taylor to build a skatepark. What an innovative way to put some funds together! The favorite skateboard art amongst the younger set was the “Operation” skateboard that lit up the patient’s red nose when the operation hit the guard rails. I had to fight the kids to get a photo of that board. My personal favorite was the moon man jumping asteroid craters. “SK8 or DONT” 🙂
Christmas Family Night
Three Frogs
Yes, three frogs! Christmas lights are an extra special bonus, just for your viewing pleasure.
Frank Reaugh – Landscapes of Texas and the American West
Frank Reaugh led a very interesting life. His passion was documenting the Southwest by using pastels and paint. The exhibit at the Harry Ransom Center had several of his art pieces on display. Just imagine getting the chance to travel with him and watch his plein air process of painting the countryside and animals in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Annual Lighting of the Square
The City of Georgetown as well as the cold, blowing rain came out for the Annual Lighting of the Square. There were Christmas Carols to be sung, the Mayor to be greeted, and Santa Claus to tell your Christmas wishes. I took a few photos out in the crazy cold front from the North, and then hurried over to the Monument Market to warm up with some turkey and squash chili and hot green tea with honey.
Happy Thanksgiving!
It turns out that a rainy Thanksgiving night is a good time to take a photo walk around downtown Austin.

First Thursday Art Reception
The Round Rock ArtSpace had their First Thursday Art Reception this evening, and it featured DÃa de los Muertos art and artists. My favorite painting was called “Bella Catrina” by Jennifer Estes. Also, if you find yourself near Round Rock this Saturday, there will be a celebration downtown in the evening.
