Bellevue Art Fair 2010

Art is long and permanent
Life is short and transient.
Seattle ,the land of scenic beauty,
A patron of art to its bounty.

Fair ,a platform for an artist
To exhibit talent to the fullest.
 
Age cannot dither them
From their insight
As it was their pursuit
To bring out the best.

They strive to focus on novelty
As compelled to surprise lovers of art.
 
Glass-blown art pieces
To the finest shapes
Explored from scientific techinques,
Draw your attention from a distance.

Crystalline-glazed porcelin in

Different forms like decorative lights

Illumined glass panels,vases,shells

sparkle on one side,

While hand- built porcelin pottery

In myriad shapes

Startle on other side.

Black and white carved stoneware

Adore the stall

Colourful figurative ceramic sculptures

Astonish the viewers.

Acrylic painting stalls in plenty

Reflect the landscape,mountains,

Pastures,meadows in the country.

Baskets of multiple varieties,

Unique contemporary baskets,

Sulptured cedarbark basketry,

Gourds,coloured of different shapes

Amuse and tempt to buy.

Dancing dolls with kites

Flying butterflies

Pedalling boatmen and women

Hang from the ceiling of the stall

A major attraction indeed.

Wheels of commemoration and meditation

As an axis of hope

Soothing to the mind and soul from

The turmoil of life.

The flute,made from bamboo cedar oak,

Played on it by their grandfathers

Transport you to distant lands of peace.

Incredible strumstick,touch of it,

Releases charming music,

pleasing to the ear.

Elegant sterling and mixed metal jewelry,

Beaded braided jewelry,

Flame work glass jewelry,

Festive ornaments,

Gemstone and pearl jewelry ,

Electric jewelry to name a few

Appear in many stalls.

Like a sickness and cure

Like a rain and Sun

Life is a mixture of pain and pleasure.

Disability ,not a hazard,if near and dear take care of.

Stunned to see aged in wheel chairs being brought

With tender care to enliven them

The sight of these master art pieces.

The shops and the stalls

The driveways and the roads

So expertly planned to enable the

Physically challenged to have an easy access.

No wonder,

With unconquerable spirit even a lone person

Manages to shop independently.
