Farm Time



Aaron Haba "Memoire"

The weekend was spent on Farm Time, out at the annual Lo-Fi Festival. Last year some dear friends of mine attended and along with some other connections, I decided this year it was Smoke Farm or bust! I had to go and participate, even though I missed the deadline as an artist while I was away in on my Ireland residency. I've already got some schemes scheming for next year though!

Eric John Olson "An Insurable Disaster"



Steve Leroux's Viam Saxa was soon lovingly referred to as the "Ewok Village". One of my favorites!


There was also this breathtaking woven grass world made by Sara Kavage & Adria Garcia. Walking slowly through it during the heat of a summery afternoon was otherworldly. Especially when one finds the below scene on the other side...

Camping is always better... with Tuba!
And Cabaret is infinitely better... in a river!

And if all this wasn't enough to whet your whistle for joining me next year, I'll leave you this evening with this lovely little snippet:

From 6pm to 9pm tonight is the gallery reception for Petshop. I can't believe it is here already!
Kellie Talbot, Jeanette Jones and I will be hosting with wine, cheese and grape leaves. Yum!
Stop on by if you can because it is sure to be a good party.

It has been a week of extremes since I spoke with you last. I had an extremely great weekend that began last Thursday with attending the opening of URBAN at SAM Gallery. The show prominently features the work of my friend and fellow La Familia artist Kate Protage. It's a great show they have up and it was fun to see Kate shine. To the left is one of her new pieces I fell in love with called "Heading North". Joey Veltkamp even had a nice little write up about it on his blog.

The next night I headed over to the Greenwood Phinney Artwalk to check out Kellie Talbot's OTHER show this month called Sign of the Times with John Osgood at Bherd Studios. It was honestly one of my favorite shows I've seen lately! And wandering even just a small section of the Greenwood Art Walk was super refreshing. Families and kids and dogs and happy chaos all out on the street on a wonderful spring evening. That evening I was able to "fill my well" a bit to quote Julia Cameron.

 

The rest of the weekend was a drawing in and taking care of biz kind of weekend. I experimented with my Epson printer and finally had a breakthrough thanks to some advice from Marisa. Still have a few color kinks to fine tune but very soon I'll be opening an etsy print shop - finally!

The remainder of my time was spent singing the praises of clean laundry and a straightened up studio. Sometimes housework IS therapy. Hallelujah.
