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!

Haven’t done any chicken updates for a while. Here’s a bunch of them at 27 weeks. (Not counting Wooster the Rooster who’s around three years old.) They all seem to be liberals committed to population control since they don’t seem to have any interest in laying eggs yet. They think their purpose is to eat and pose.

I’ve put up some new banners in advance of my open studio weekend and the studio tour. Also moved some around just for my own enjoyment to see how they change in different light and different surroundings.

Here’s a cell phone shot of some of the other new works, still in process.

I’ve been experimenting with combining a handful of approaches to artmaking that I’ve used in the past: integral frames, embossed text, beeswax/encaustic, and of course, digital images. Here’s a new work called simply “Cardinal.”
I realize it’s pretty much impossible to read the text from this small image, but the work will be on display at the Alamance County Arts Council from September 15 to October 14 as part of the preview exhibition for the 2012 Alamance Studio Tour (October 13-14). There’s an opening reception on Friday, September 21, 6:30-8:30. Bring your reading glasses and find out what you’re missing.
Okay, just one detail:
