Every year I look forward to the annual Bellevue Arts Museum Fair in July.  It’s one of the top art fairs in the country and one of the highlights of the summer for me.  Each year there are some of the great standbys mixed in with some new artistic talent.  Where else can you go to an art fair in a shopping mall parking garage!

Here are some of my favorites from this year’s show:

Nancy Sinatra would have thought “these boots were made for walking” by the Heliotropium Gallery in Mount Vernon, Washington.

Gorgeous ceramic vessels with an Asian esthetic were presented by Brian O’Neill.

This artful design is from Seth Rolland Custom Furniture Design in Port Townsend, WA.

Larry Halvorsen is known for his black and white pottery creations.

 Mark Hudak creates wonderful, practical pieces that are very affordable and fun.

Dean Pulver from Dean Pulver Studio Furniture  made this whimsical bench.

Time for a game of Monopoly?  Too bad, this is actually a painting by pop artist Doug Bloodworth!  The detail is just fabulous and makes you want to try to buy Park Place.  What would you expect from a Realtor?

Ok, the battery in my camera died, so we have 7 favorites here, although I had many more I wanted to photograph.  Another great fair this year.  What were your favorites? See if we can complete the list of 10 here.
