Photos of my Gallery

I just about have the gallery ready for First Friday, Austin Highlights.  It will be a special show with work by Regina Burchett, Johanne Morin and Jan Weaver.  I still need to straighten up a bit tomorrow and put up some more tags, tablecloth, etc.  Remember I will pay your sales tax for the month of December.  That is almost a 10% savings.

The gallery is looking good.

Out the window.

I hope you can come by Friday night.  It will be a lot of fun.  You can meet the artists, see and buy their work and enjoy refreshments with us.

Here is my artist tip for the day, check out Desmond O'Hagan's video, An Urban View.  I had a workshop with him .  I learned so much, although I do not paint anywhere near style.  He does a type of under painting with dark colors and paints on regular pastel paper, not sanded.  Very nice work.  I try to keep his painting tips in mind.

It does look great Jo. I really like your studio "tours" - it makes me feel like I know it - and wish I could come visit!

I hope it's a good year for you and all of the other artists!

Hi, Jo, I had hoped to make this First Friday at last, but we have a date with friends to attend a holiday party... (:-( Your studio looks awesome, and I DO plan to visit it soon. Good luck Friday to you and Jan, Johanne, and Regina!
