10th Anniversary of Art-o-mat in RVA Celebration at VisArts

Special edition art-o-mats made by Richmond Artists for the special anniversary, waiting to be loaded yesterday.  Now in the Richmond Art-o-mat, while supplies last.

Grip & Grin - Clark & Alyssa.

A great party last night at VisArts commemorating 10 Years of Kerplunking Culture in RVA, with an artist talk by Clark Whittington, & the opening of an exhibition about Art-o-mat.  Folks lined up to make their selections ... & no pepper spray was involved!
 

Exhibition continues through January 2012 at VisArts

Selections from my edition - "Pieces from a Beautiful World", original van dyke prints, mounted on wood blocks, waxed.

Halloween Greetings

official uniform

I did get much more than this from Tristan Lowe's lecture this evening but one has to ask: Is a red short-sleeved t-shirt over a blue long-sleeved t-shirt Tristan Lowe's official uniform?

He's wearing the same thing in his big chair photo as he was tonight on stage.  It's not pajamas but ...

art delivery added to organic vegetable delivery because Amy's Garden has a big van

Off goes one 48x77 inch panel from Nothing But Blue Skies, along with peppers, kale, chard & arugula.

before & after Studio Sale

Over three days of Studio Sale, 50 pieces - made between 1997 & 2007, previously exhibited or presented - went home with friends to have lives out in the world as art, instead of continuing in the dark as stored nothings.  During this month, a grand total of nearly 70 pieces became visible again.  Value can be created with an exchange of something other than a large pile of money.  Thank you for coming.  Thank you for going home with my art & for hanging it in your homes & offices.  And thank you Visual Arts Center for a great location and kind support.  Totally amazing.

today's eagle

She let me paddle my kayak so close that when she flew off I could hear the squeak of her feathers opening.

our family which likes to kayak

we spent Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur in kayaks

& saw lots of eagles

a fine way to begin the new year
