Indulge in a Visual Feast of Art Couture

What the heck is she talking about? Art Couture?

Well, as fashionistas know, couture is art, but as my friends know, I'm no fashionista! (As I write this, I'm in my paint pants and a black t-shirt...so original huh?)

Anyway, I digress...

Fashion designer Greta Lovina, painter Susan Cook and me are putting on a show that defies categorization: is it a fashion show or an art exhibit?

It's all things combined. Susan and I have painted (in our own styles) images of Greta's clothes into our paintings. Observe how the the marvelous designs transfer and evolve into a unique collaboration between three kindred spirits.

Our happening...event...parties (try on some clothes!) will be at Primavera Gallery in Ojai on December 2 and December 9 from 7 - 9 pm.

Well...better get back out to my studio!

PS: Can artists have Cyber Monday? You bet...I'll be coming up with some specials so you can do your holiday shopping from your comfy chair or couch....or bed...or...not sure if I want to go there. LOL Stay tuned!

Museum of Ventura County hosting "Collector's Reception" October 4

This piece is called "Humboldt Shoreline" and will be at the Museum of Ventura County (100 E Main St., Ventura, CA) for Artwalk Ventura through October 8. Join me October 4 from 6 - 8 at the museum for a special "Collector's Reception" where you can preview and buy work BEFORE Artwalk. You can take home this 36"x 48" relaxing painting of our California coastline for $2,695.00. It's oil on cradled board and sure to be a favorite in your home for many years. Since I paint exclusively with palette knifes now, because of the size of this painting, I had to purchase large plaster knifes from my local hardware store. Smoothing the first paint layers over the board was almost as relaxing as when I was actually there: I think it truly got me in the "zone." Coming up next? Updates from the Ventura Plein Air Invitational, we've already started painting, so you'll be able to see the results before they're hung! ....and...
