Open Studio day dawned cold and very rainy. Not what you want to wake up to when you are hoping for a large crowd of art seekers! But the visitors did slowly arrive. Old friends I hadn’t seen in years, recent collectors, artist buds, advertising colleagues and new art lovers. We had such fun, very nice sales and 3 new commissions! I want to thank everyone who made their way to my studio, despite the crummy weather. You are troopers! If you couldn’t make it, but would still like to see the art, I’m leaving everything up for a couple of weeks. Contact me about stopping by! Already looking forward to the next Open Studio in 2 years.

(I do have a few 2019 calendars left. They are nice and small, just 13″ x 8.5″ hanging. Each month has a new oil or pastel painting on the top. They make a perfect gift or a little present for yourself. $20 plus $5 shipping if needed. Contact me at [email protected] if you are interested.)

A few photographs below that my studio assistant, Emily, took when she wasn’t handling sales and packaging:

My favorite photograph of some my art friends taking photos of each other all at the same time.

Goof balls.
