Walkabout Warren

Warren, Rhode Island, deserves credit for its dedication to revitalizing its downtown. So they had the "Warren Walkabout" on Sunday, which, fortunately, was beautiful weatherwise.

As you may know from reading this blog, from time to time I chronicle public art within driving distance of the Narrows. This kinda falls into that category, although I couldn't find any permanent public art.

Above is a photo of a sign outside a small storefront utilized by an active living painter. Your humble blogger wandered in and viewed his work, which looked pretty good. Unfortunately, he didn't have any business cards around and he was busy so I never got his name. He's on the main steet in Warren. You can't miss him.

Below is a photo of a guy playing in the "Off Center Coffee House" in downtown Warren. I did get his name: James Power. He's a talented oil painter when he's not strumming the guitar wearing what I think we can call a kilt. Cool!

Happy Halloween!
