Cannot get enough
of painting these bright blooms
call lilies like white hot flames
and we paint...week after week
...chatting and sipping wine,
our answer to the paint and sip craze
Another week of postcards from paradise
Please don't forget...if you are in town, stop by the Museum and vote for me! You have until June 12th, don't delay, vote today!
More of our recent trip to the Hudson River Valley...DIA, as in Denver International Airport...sliver of a moon and an early start.
Beacon is a small community on the east side of the Hudson River...lots of cafes, art galleries and
Dia/Beacon...as in this amazing art center that was orginally the Nabisco box printing facility. 34,000 square feet of skylights that bath the place in natural light. (This is the only pic I took, totally forbidden, the rest are postcards I bought)
The windows at times make more interesting art than that I found on the walls...
but the Richard Serra pieces...well they are like hiking in the slot canyons of Utah. Breathtaking, monumental in every sense of the word.
I could have taken a really fabulous photo in this gallery if the docent was not hot on my trail. The windows that line the wall were throwing a perfect line of shadow windows across the entire length of the space...along the sculpture then following the floor.
monumental form
lost in these steel canyon walls
serendipitous
Just for you Rebecca...and Haiku my HeART!
It's going to be a busy travel summer, I will have lots of art to share.
A couple of perfect days were had in the Hudson River Valley...we spent an entire day at Storm King...walk with us
and enjoy the perfect blues skies, wildflowers and monumental art
we rented bikes for a couple of hours, what a great way to see the property
Andy Goldsworthy has 2 walls, this one was completed as part of Storm King's 50th anniversary in 2010
we spent some time chatting with this fellow, he works on all of Goldsworthy's stone projects. A winter storm brought down a huge limb that took out part of the wall this winter...he has been here from the UK for 8 weeks fitting it all back together.
this was just a taste of Storm King, I would highly recommend a visit if you are anywhere near.
Next up...Dia/Beacon
calla lilies...Georgia O'Keefe's keep drawing me back...so sensual, so beautiful
and pretty shadows in the morning light
wispy flowers spent
dancing in the cool sunlight
drawing from their line
an abundance of flowers in the garden
and 30 years of dancing together...
Happy Anniversary Mr R!!
x..x
Two (long) weekends where we welcomed many visitors into the Mango Studio...
it all started with a preview show where people could see examples of the 52 artists and decide which venues they would like to visit.
then on to the tour...ALL of my new flower pot paintings sold...I am so very happy that they were so well received!
Roni had many people admiring her beautiful black and white photography and demo'd her polaroid transfer process for us...
Charlotte's garden sculpture, new paintings and her daughter's gorgeous origami flowers went home with many
it was quite cold at times...but we kept warm gathering around the fire
Tess came up...
and 3 generations celebrated Mothers Day at Comida with margs and tacos (sorry Tess, you have no face:))
Hope you all enjoyed your mother's day and thanks to everyone that came out for the tour...
A macquette for a public art piece...Shock Art...the city will select artists to paint electrical boxes.
the real boxes are HUGE...an 11 x 11 x 7 box must be painted, in exactly the manner the electrical box will be painted.
I'm finding JOY in this little box...what do you think? Would you vote for this bright and magical garden to transform a big box near you?
I am pretty wiped out from the past weekend's studio tour...it was great! but exhausting. Went to see Roger Waters and the Wall with my kiddo and old girlfriends.
It was an intense show, multi media, pyrotechnics...the entire Wall album
The anti war theme has been updated, does this ever end?...the audience was such a mix of old and young. There is a real following of young kids to the music, the message and the tour.
my girl and my girls....it was a rockin' night!
but, this is the Pink Floyd I most remember from my younger days...
enjoy
Tour is one more weekend...Sat and Sun, hope to see you
We're ready for you! A beautiful weekend for the East Boulder County Artists Studio Tour
art to love, to enjoy....to buy
lots of new work that make great Mother's Day gifts...for your mom and for you
Charlotte has lots of new work too
We're here both this weekend and next....11 - 5 Saturday and Sunday
