Our "Real" Artists - 100 Reasons I Love Peekskill - Post 71

Magician and acupuncturist Margaret Steele blogs about living and working in downtown Peekskill.

Our "Real" Artists. I'm a Peekskill Certified Artist - the first (thought now not the only) magician to receive that oh-so-crucial designation that allows me to occupy a downtown live/work artist loft. I'm a very good magician. However, put a brush or drawing pencil in my hand, and I'm hopeless. I'm continually amazed at what comes out of artists' brains through their hands. Especially since I'm so bad at it.

See for yourself. As I posted on Saturday, I had the idea of doing a spontaneous Snow Art project downtown. I put out the word and headed out to start the ball rolling. I went the the downtown pavillion and made my "installation." I know - it's pathetic. But I tried!

Did anyone take up my call and make more skillful downtown Snow Art?
