Once again we’re hosting our semi-annual Studio and Sale this weekend. The house/studio/gallery is brimming with new work. Some of it will be heading for galleries after the show, or in Anne’s case, the Laguna Festival of Art. If you’re anywhere near, come; you’ll love it. And so will we, seeing you.
Saturday, May 7, 4:00-9:00 pm
Sunday, May 8, 1:00-5:00 pm
33752 Big Sur, Dana Point, California
Sunday’s Mother’s Day. Bring her too, she’ll love it.
Here’s the invitation.

Boat Rower, Oil on Canvas, 36×48

Here’s a piece indicative of another recent exploration into the abstract. It’s layers of color and textures that you don’t find in nature. I take that back; actually you do. They’re in the reflections of things, the bouncing of light from place to place, the sparkling beauty that no painting can match. But the attempt can be beautiful too. This and others like it will be in the show this weekend.

Waiting, Monotype Print, 14×15

Anne’s work is almost always along the abstract and has been for some years. Once again, she comes up with colors and texture that you don’t see anywhere else…at least not in such combination. It’s what makes art art, it’s something completely unique, un-repeatable, and yet with a design that doesn’t “just happen.” There’s an order, a design, something pleasing in and of itself. This is another that will be in the show this weekend, and others just as beautiful.

Also coming up:

One more thing

Anne opens tonight as the featured artist at the Sandstone Gallery in north Laguna Beach. She’ll be at the art walk with her work featured in the widow all month. Check it out if you can.

She’ll also be doing a demo next week (May 13) at the Carlsbad/Oceanside Art League. I’ll miss that one as I’ll be in Louisville, Kentucky doing one of my 6 ft. by 8 ft. mega-portraits in front of a live audience. Both should be fun.

And don’t forget this weekend. Come if you can, or at least write and say Hi.
