History and art are mingling today and tomorrow during the first-ever “Painted Garden” art event at the Log House Museum on Alki. While at the beach to check out today’s Alki Car Show (WSB coverage here), we detoured a block inland to have a look at this first-ever event. You can’t miss the signs – balloons and chalked-on-sidewalk arrows will point you there. Artists selling their wares are arranged outside the museum, up on its porch and down on the patio:

That’s Virginia M. Wulf, with jewelry creations; across from her on the patio, Marilyn Van Cleave Ullin:

And while you’re on the back patio, peek into the Carriage House to see the old Alki Statue of Liberty:

There are even whimsical creations hanging over the Log House Museum’s railings:

If you miss them today, the artists will be back at the LHM tomorrow (Sunday), 10 am-4 pm. (Then next weekend on the beach, in case you were wondering, it’s the always-big Alki Art Fair.)
