In spite
of the current view from our windows – deep snow in all directions – we are
getting ready to celebrate Spring! The first weekend of May, May 4-6, marks the
annual Spring Art Tour, and it will be my first time of participating in this
wonderful event. Hosted by the Earth Arts of the Upper St. Croix, this group is
comprised of 60 artists displaying their art in 33 locations along the tour
route. For this event, I’ll be joining two well-recognized artists, Doug Berg
(oils) and Joyce Staley (oils and jewelry) at the Lamar Community Center near
St. Croix Falls, WI. The historic, two-room schoolhouse has been recently
renovated and provides beautiful light-filled spaces.
This will
be an adventure as I’m preparing to display in a kind of art fair atmosphere. We’ve
purchased some stand-alone display panels and Doug is helping Paul with the
details of hanging paintings on the wooden racks along the walls of the center.
In addition to my framed originals, I’ve also created a supply of cards, giclée
prints and prints for display and sale. All in all, it has been a fun process of
getting ready for this new endeavor.
This
week’s painting, “Boat House” 7”x9” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, offers a secluded
retreat on a quiet lakeshore.
