Studio Tours!   

10/10/2013

3 Comments

 
For the 3rd year in a row, I am signed up on the Washington County Open Art Studio Tours!

October 19th and 20th - 

Saturday and Sunday.


 I will be here in my studio to meet visitors and talk about my art and processes.  


  I love having visitors and I am so looking forward to this.

Look at this great brochure!
You can pick one up here at my studio.
The brochure and the tour are both FREE.  

Picture

Each artist on the tour has a description of their art and a photo.

Nice map in the back!
***************************

I usually paint my canvas flat on my work table and not stretched.   


Then when I want them stretched onto bars, I have a friend who does that for me.  


  She trims the edges of my paintings and I have figured out a way to use up those lovely colorful scraps!

I have named these "artlets!"  They are bracelets made from the edges of paintings!

I found a package of 50 cards and envelopes at Goodwill and decided to make some hand made greeting cards!

Picture

There will be cards made with images of painting of mine too!

Here is where I will be painting painting painting until the Studio Tours!
Hope to see you soon!

Local 14 Art Show

I am very excited to be a part of this all-women juried art show. 
It starts tonight!
I dropped off art this morning and it look fabulous already - even as it is getting set up.
Picture
I found a package of blank cards and envelopes at Goodwill and hand painted them for this show.   I got the clear sleeves and such so they  present much better than this photo of them drying on my studio floor.

Picture
These sold last week - but there are one or two more that made it to the show.

Picture
"Grandpa loves punk music" made it to the show!
Picture
Finished up "Fish Sticks" and they are at the show too.
Hope you can stop by the Local 14 show this weekend!
