As the name implies, there are plenty of guns to see at the CLA show in Lexington, KY

And it is truly remarkable what these artists and craftsmen can bring forth from a block of wood.

But many of the members
 of the CLA are artists
 of another sort.

Sculptures by Wayne Hyde

Pamela Patrick White and Bryant White of White Historic Art filled their exhibit space with their paintings. Although I have met them before in re-enacting venues I had a better chance to talk to the couple here at the CLA show.

Besides the amazing paintings and prints I find the volume of their work also remarkable. Confesses White, “I paint twelve or fourteen hours a day. Sometimes I hear comments from people that think being an artist “is not work.” She also told me that her more recent focus on oils was the result of a commissioned painting. I agreed to do this particular painting in oils and then although I had long worked in pastels

I began to make the shift to oils. Thoroughly researched the Whites continue to attend events as re-enactors, musicians and artists. For more on their work - P.Patrick White and Bryant White

A clever look by Frank and Lally House at making period pieces for use in movies. This display included photos of actors Mel Gibson and Russell Crowe along with pieces that the couple crafted for these stars.
