Open Studio!!


Open Studio!!


Almost ready for prime time! I'm running around today doing last minutes in preparation for this weekend's Clark County Open Studio Tour. The studio will be open this Saturday and Sunday, November 8th and 9th, from 10 to 5. There are paintings large and small, as well as lots of prints and drawings. You'll see examples of my more traditional realist paintings, including the small works posted on Daily Art West. And of course also on display will be the semi-abstract work I love to do. I may even do a bit of demonstration painting, if I can work up the nerve.

Check out http://ccopenstudios.org for more info on all 50 artists and maps of the self-guided tour. I'll have tour brochures available here. If you're going to be in the Portland/Vancouver area this weekend, I hope you'll stop and say hi.

Hey Don,
Sorry I couldn't be there in-person, but I really enjoyed the photos of your wonderful studio.
It might have been fun to see the joint prior to your preparations for the Open Studios event! :))
Hope you had great guests and sold a few works, too.
Sincerely,
Gary.

Hi Gary--thanks for your note, I always appreciate hearing from you.
I cleaned the mess up a bit, of course, and put a lot more work out on the walls and floors than I normally have, but otherwise I didn't do a lot to the place. They said they wanted it to look like a working studio. Guess I should have hidden my napping chair! It went well--a good turnout and several sales--can't complain.

Hi Don,
Couldn't help writing back to comment about your "napping" chair. I had a wonderful belly laugh reading about it. What person, artist or not, who has reached our age, doesn't appreciate forty winks a few times throughout the day?
Naps-of various lengths-are one of my most important tools, leading to refreshed eyes looking at a painting on the easel and new ideas for moving forward.
Have a nice nap after reading this, Don!
Congrats on the turnout and sales, too!!
Sincerely,
Gary.
