The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful

Excellent forecast for the weekend and the studio tour. Leaves are starting to turn. There’s beautiful early fall light so I had to stop preparing for a bit and photograph some of the banners. Yet again. Must have hundreds of shots of the banners. Luckily they always look different.

The yurt studio is turning back into the yurt gallery as it gets hung with new pieces surrounded by greatest hits.

And, in an acknowledgement of local culture and challenging economic times, this year I’m introducing the Bourbon, Dogs and Art Outlet Store, where art gets all over just about everything.

So hope y’all can come on by. And remember to wear sensible shoes.

Open Studio, Oct. 13-14

Open Studio 2012

Once again I’m having a fall Open Studio weekend as part of the Alamance Studio Tour. The dates are October 13-14, 2012, and hours are 10-5 Saturday, and 12-5 Sunday.

There’s some new banners up, and of course some new art in the yurt studio/gallery. I’ve started a new series of work that features multiple canvas prints, old wood with embedded text and beeswax that folks seem to be responding to postively.

And this year I’ve added the Bourbon, Dogs and Art Outlet Store with nice prices on posters, prints, pillows, cards and placemats.

And here’s the other thing. During previous tours it’s always been slow at the beginning of each day. That’s probably because I’m not located where you’d necessarily want to start the tour. So this year I’m giving away Woodland Banners posters to the first 10 visitors each day. My thinking is that if folks show up a bit earlier then I might not drink as much coffee and I won’t end up talking in such a manic candence by the end of the day. Seems worth a try.

Hope to see you!
