Finally Down from Open Studios

My first open Studio went well. I must say as a virgin I was a little nervous and excited all at the same time. It was so nice to be with so many artists whose works I admire. You are all so much fun to be around. Some folks from a life long ago like Keith J. and Lisa F., some from present Ben, Lois, Larla, all of room 205 Vald, Dan, James (Wow, you all are great) and Melanie (love your bumps and bottles), Some new friends Kelly thanks for such a fun Saturday morning, Nothing like an Exacto knife, paper and good conversation to put some nerves to rest.
I love the entire concept of some four hundred artist coming together in a place that’s absent of life and resuscitating it to be so alive, chuck full of creativity and all for only two days. It is just amazing the energy that flows through the halls. Then in a matter of a few hours to have all that art removed, and walls white washed, all of it gone. It is like we (the artist) could gather until we where discovered, once found we must move on to expose our work in other places. It reminds me of a radio show called the Hives. That was about the banning of music and how the musicians where forced underground and how a guy abscessed with mathematically theory of music followed the artists to the underground hives. It was real cool series on WPKN, however I don’t know whom it was done by – if anyone has that info let me know.
Back to open studio Thanks to all of you who stopped in to see me. I can’t express how great it was for me to meet you, to share and talk about my work. A special thanks John, Bill, and Thomas for all their help in getting me and my art work out in an unbelievable time. Oh and of course a great big thank you to Chris, Kendra and Hanna who believe in my art and me.
