Three days after Festival Acadien et Creole in Lafayette, LA and I’m still dusting off from the weekend!! The dancers pounded the dirt with their boots and Corvus Press, myself and the other artists at Festival did our best to bring a visual, creative spin to the music festival. The release of my new book, The Acadiana Art Trail was a big success and I look forward to the book signings this fall that will take place at many of the surrounding galleries.
To keep up with the signing calendar, check out the Art Trail Lady facebook page badge over to your right.
I hoped for more time to explore the Artists tents at Festival Acadien et Creole but I was only able to stop by one tent and that was one of Dale Duhon, Cajun Folk Artist. Since the festival is focused on Cajun Music, I figured Dale would fit right in line with this theme.
Dale’s work features scenes that are indigenous to the Cajun Culture including fishing, hunting and gatherings. Dale’s favorite medium is oil on cold pressboard providing him with a smooth surface that allows for the detail captured in these Cajun scenes.
I watched as “passer byers” (sometimes I like to create my own words) stopped to enjoy the culture that exudes from Dale’s pieces. Framed in raw cypress, the paintings take on a “rough around the edges” vibe that are perfect for masculine spaces.
Dale Duhon is definitely off the beaten path and has no website or email so the best way for contacting Dale is by phone: 337-984-7308.
Thank you to all you "Trailers" who stopped by the booth this weekend!!! Happy Trailing!!
Love,
The Art Trail Lady
