Visual artists offer much to festivalgoers

Each year visual artists come to the Red River Revel eager to share their products and artwork.

However, these artists may not realize what they're giving to us -- paintings, drawings, photography, jewelry, sculptures, ceramics and a variety of other forms of creativity anchored in one place for nine days.

Each time I walk by the booths I'm tempted to spend. Especially at Miki Oliver's stained glass booth. The Kaufman, Texas, artist does beautiful work.

Jewelry also is abundant at the Revel this year, in fact, it nearly overpowers the traditional artwork booths. Whatever you enjoy, there is plenty to browse. If only I had plenty to spend!
