I am just finishing up this painting of a colorful rainbow tulip to donate to the art auction for the Open Studios Tour. The art auction will be held on Friday evening to kick-off the weekend event. The tour is on June 4-5, 11 Am – 5 PM and I will have my studio open on both days.
The Friday evening event “An Evening of Art,” will be held at the Art Space gallery, 2605 N. Lake Avenue, Altadena, CA from 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM. It is sure to be a great evening with over 50 artists participating and we will all be at the event to visit with attendees and answer questions about our work. You will also be able to pick up your Art Tour booklet and map.
The studio is beginning to clean itself… Well, a girl can wish!! 🙂 I pulled out a broom this morning and suddenly, all my fairy friends disappeared. I suppose I will be sweeping up all those beads I dropped and cleaning off my beading table (beads just seem to multiply) as well as dusting off my easel, all by self. I have finished a few paintings and I am hoping to finish another large size painting of one of my Fae characters. Here is a picture of my progress… I still have a lot more to do!
On this tour, I will have two guest artists exhibiting with me at my studio. If you live in the area (Altadena/Pasadena, CA) be sure to stop by and say hello! You can learn more about the tour at www.openstudios.gallery.
Have a wonderful, creative, day, Janell
I like the painting! The rainbow tulip Is beautiful it remind me the antique Fiammingo oil paintings from the Renaissance era they are beautiful and often florals paired with fruit with dark background. 😉
