My, How Time Flies! (sketches)

Yes, the old saying is something like "Time flies when you are having fun!"  I guess it does.  August came and went and I haven't sent a newsletter or reminded you of what is going on. 

Tomorrow is First Friday in Bastrop.  Judy will be at my studio and downtown Bastrop should be lots of fun.  Gallery hopping, live music and dining.  Wish I was there.  Stop in and say hi to Judy for me.  :)  The galleries are open from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.  Judy has new jewelry and paintings.  1009 Main Street Suite 3, Downtown Historic Bastrop.  It is the front studio even though the number is 3.  The apartments upstairs are 1 and 2.  Interesting.  Click on "Jo's Studio & Gallery" above to see what my space looks like.  Oh, there is a photo of Judy, too.

Saturday here is the Arts About Town.  I have 3 framed paintings here and about 14 small unframed paintings that are ready to pop in the frame of your choice.  Stop by and say hello.  I will be on the sidewalk in front of the ArtSpace Gallery from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  Info to the right on the sidebar.

I sketched for Scavenger Hunt 190.  These were sketched freehand in the medium size sketchbook with a Micron 005 pen.


Number 9, lives with me - the only one here is Gene.  He was concentrating on his computer.

Number 10, toy of the someone that lives with me - Gene's iPhone.  Number 11, odd shaped bottle and Number 12, something from the kitchen cabinet - you decide which is which.  :)

Lastly, I forgot to take a photo of this cross, which I should have done before I added the varnish to avoid the glare.  I painted it with acrylics to give Charlotte at the winery. She has a collection of crosses on the wall that sort of just happened.   We have been going out to the Ritchie-Slater Winery on Friday nights for wine and live music.  It has been fun.  My niece and friend are coming up tomorrow so we will probably go there tomorrow night.  It will be fun to have company.  They can enjoy the "happenings" in Angel Fire on Saturday while I work at the Arts About Town.  There are several things going on - studio tours, live music and  a motorcycle rally of some sort.  Should be a nice day, too.

I have sure enjoyed your time in Angel Fire. Since Toby has to go to Buffalo, NY, we are planning our vacation around there, but I am really missing my mountains.

I like the cross. Have a good time at the Art About Town.

Azulparsnip, you make me laugh. You know I wouldn't mess with such a small frame, the cross is about 6 inches high. Ha. But somebody did?? Amazing.

Bag Blog, boy we have enjoyed AF. Just a few days to go. We leave on the 15th. It is a big weekend, the last fling of the season. There is even a saloon girl contest in Eagle Nest.

Jo: Fun sketch of Gene, how are you both doing.

Jo Castillo said...

Fishing Guy, you can tell by my lack of blogging and painting that we are staying busy. :) Thanks for stopping by.
