White tents, funnel cakes, rock music and an array of artwork gave residents and Arlington guests a reason to come out to the 3^rd annual Art on the Greene Art Festival at Richard Greene Linear Park, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Artists from around Texas showcased black and white portraits, landscape paintings, rustic sculptures, and multicolored jewelry, among other pieces.

Contemporary Houston painter, Elaine Lanoue, conversed with visitors about her artwork and said the festival was an opportunity to highlight the work artists do.

"This is a show designed for artists by artists," she said.

Lanoue said the show helps educate the public about the arts and she's been in the art business for some time.

"This is how I've made a living since 1966," Lanoue said. "I do it for my own pleasure."

As art aficionados, families and guests meandered along the paths at the festival, vendors provided them with treats to eat.

Jim Lehman, owner of Jim and Lor's Candy Store, offered guests candy-covered apples and said the festival gave him and other vendors an opportunity to get their company's name out.

Scant Band, an '80s rock music group, jammed on stage as viewers clapped their hands and as some hula-hooped to the music.

As Arlington resident Jeannene Brown entered a store selling art glass jewelry, she glanced at a few pieces for her daughter.

"It's beautiful," Brown said.

Arlington resident Greg Little, visited the festival with his wife and son and said his favorite parts of the show were the antique cars on display.

Little also said the festival benefits Arlington.

"Anytime the City can support the arts, it's a good thing," he said.
