Marie, Brian, Xander visit Trenton for art's sake

Marie, Brian and Xander traveled from Virginia back to Trenton, N.J., last month to visit Brian's parents and attend the city's annual Art All Night festival.

It was at least the fourth time they've attended the event, where any and all artists are welcome to exhibit one item apiece. Xander has exhibited each year, and this year showed this drawing of a cat waiting for food to appear in its bowl.

Meanwhile, Brian exhibited a large-scale painting of one of his psychedelic cat images, which have become very popular on internet sites (see previous article).

Brian's mother, Barbara, showed "Patriot's Dream," a vision-through-a-window quilt, with a schoolhouse in the center -- appropriately for the retired teacher and current literacy volunteer.

Brian's father, Steve, presented this painting of "Fiddleheads in the Moonlight."

The event fell on Father's Day Weekend, and provided a chance for a get-together between Marie and her dad, Dan, along with Julie, Christine, Andy and Shannon. Everyone enjoyed strolling through the exhibit hall - a former Roebling steel factory - and watching artists at work on the surrounding grounds.
