The Open Studio Tour of Altadena was a great success and so much fun.  I met a great group of talented artists and thought I would share some of their pictures.

One of my favorite local shops HOOPLA!  also hosted artists at their store as well as Sidewalk Cafe.

Sidewalk Cafe hosted a group of talented artists.

And here are another couple of pictures of my studio.

I took one last picture, just as we were closing up for the day.

This is just a small sample of the art that was on exhibit over the weekend.  Thanks to all the artists who helped put on this event, it was a group effort with just a few months notice to pull it all together.  And thanks to all of those who came out and visited our studios.  I met some wonderful new neighbors and art collectors!  🙂

Have a wonderful, creative day, Janell
