This weekend and next we’re hosting a Garage, Garden and Studio Show in our home in Dana Point. We’ll be wearing our masks, of course, but the big garage door open with plenty of air flow, there’s an outdoor feeling to it all. That was out experience last month when we did the same in the garage featuring my work. This time it’s Anne’s.
It hardly looks like a garage, here looking in from the driveway.
Backing up, between the July show and this one I decided it was time to do something about the garage floor. With a minimum of research I went at it, first clearing the space, then degreasing areas, and then beginning to apply paint, artists acrylic, splattered around and spread with palette knife.
It was lots of work, here about day three of five, most of it on the knees. It was like a giant canvas; when the design started getting away from me I’d have to balance things out in another area.
In the end it came out like this, a giant abstract, something like what Jackson Pollock would have done. This one, however, will never be on the wall in a museum, being on a thick cement slab.
It’s a garage floor, and we really do use our garage for cars. With three coats of glossy finish over the top, there’s a confidence it’s there to stay. If not, I suppose I know how to repair it.
Back to the show. This is how it’s shaping up. Note one of Anne’s presses will be on display (left). People ask about that rug, recognizing that it looks like one of Anne’s pieces. I bought it at Lowes a couple of years ago. My sense is the designer came across Anne’s work somewhere and adapted it. It could easily happen what with hundreds of people having Anne Moore pages on Pinterest. She’s quite esteemed in her field.
Some final adjustments by the artist herself.
Check the short walk-through below.
Here’s the announcement, with the details. Note there will be three of us showing. Antje Campbell, a friend of ours, makes beautiful three-dimensional works, which will compliment Anne’s prints and my paintings.
