we spent saturday at the fearrington village. they feature a folk art show there on an annual basis. this year’s show featured 30 artists. when we entered the barn we were overwhelmed with colors and bright images. art was hanging from floor to ceiling. there were sculptures, paintings, floor mats, wall hangings, t-shirts, cards, flower planters, yard ornaments, and more. after a once around the barn we came back to the second booth we entered. eric legge’s booth. his art is powerful, yet simply designed, and full of emotion. we zeroed in on a portrait and he quickly gathered it up and flipped it over to create cherubs on the back. he went straight to work signing his name and the date, and filled every inch of the back of the piece with cherubs, explaining that even though most people would not know they were there, they were in fact there – doing work like angels in the back ground. pretty amazing.<\/p>\n
eric told us that this was only the third painting he had done in ’09.\u00a0 he said he painted it on thursday 2\/19\/09 in his hotel room.<\/p>\n
