Artfest begins this Friday at Noon!

After months of creating and framing new art, and one more week of last-minute details like matting new miniature pastels, I will be so ready for art fair season to start. Come on down and see my latest work in both oil and pastel, including my new 6″ x 6″ pastels in silver plein-air frames. Here are the details:

I’m not sure what happened, but it’s nearly art fair season!  The last of the jury notices have come in, and I’ve finalized my schedule.

As it turns out, all of my 2011 shows will be in the Northwest. And with gas at $4/per gallon, I’m happy not to be pulling a fully loaded trailer on any 2,000 mile round trips! I’ll be doing some of my usual shows: Artfest in Spokane, Bellevue Arts Museum artsfair, Sun Valley Center Arts and Crafts Festival, and Art in the High Desert in Bend, Oregon.

I’ve also made some changes. I’ll be trying the Salem Art Fair and Festival for the first time in 2011. And, I am excited to announce that I will appear for the first time at Art in the Pearl in Portland, Oregon! I’ve heard wonderful things about this show and have been wanting to try it for years. It’s exciting, yet bittersweet—to appear at the Pearl, I made the difficult decision not to do the Sausalito Art Festival for the first time since 2007. With so few really excellent shows in the Northwest and northern California, why do two of the best have to be on the same weekend?

Whining aside, I can’t wait to get started on this year’s shows! Only three more weeks to wait… hope to see you out there!
