It's Wednesday again. Not Tuesday. Being held accountable to a blog is not something I thought I would ever feel, but I do. My apologies for not being here yesterday. I really truly did not know what to write about. In a perfect world I would have a new dog portrait to share. But in my world, I've been working on two other paintings - one a plein air landscape and the other is a studio landscape painting with a yellow lab in it, so at least there is one dog in progress, even though he is in the midst of a landscape.Here in the mountains the art world has been busy with new shows and openings. And in just a few short weeks, the Studio Tours will be happening. It's a weekend event (June 10-12) with about 100 studios participating. I join with Selena Glass and Metal of Burnsville,NC, in their studio. We'll have their wonderful glass and metal pieces, Raven Tata's mirrors, and my paintings. This time, too, I believe there will be a potter joining us. It's a great stop on the tour - 5 artists in one place, so we get a fair bit of traffic. It's all rather exciting.
This painting, "Coyote", is a 16" x 20" oil on canvas. If you happen to be in Spruce Pine, NC, in the next couple of weeks, you can see this painting in real life at the Toe River Arts Council's Gallery. All of the Studio Tour artists will have work on display at the TRAC Gallery. It's a great chance to preview work and choose which studios you would like to visit. "Coyote" is for sale, too, and can be yours for $800. Contact either me directly or the TRAC Gallery in Spruce Pine.
Thanks for reading.....
