Art in the Barn

That's the name of the art show that will be part of next Saturday's Concours de l'Artiste, musical entertainment, food, wine, classic cars, and a beautiful setting, a fund raiser for the Northern California Ballet. Tickets are available from the Chico and Paradise Chambers of Commerce, or call us at Avenue 9  gallery to see where else to get them. I'm looking forward to all of it, especially the art of course! Expect to be greeted as you drive in by Mr Personality,  as I've dubbed this inquisitive llama who watched me intently as I painted his portrait (oil, 16 x20).  It will  be on sale along with my ballerina paintings and more than 50 other beautiful works of art by several artists far more talented than me.
 There';s also a magnificent new show on display right now at Avenue 9 Gallery by two very talented photographers. Amazing nature photography.They will be at the closing reception on September 1, but you can see their work before then!
 Along with stuff from the rest of us, the usual suspects. I have a wool felted fiber piece, two watercolors and  various photos for my contribution this month. Several other things in progress but not much to show you yet.
Time to get serious. Open studios is coming up fast.

  1. The subject of your portrait seems to be amused by the whole experience. I would say you captured his personality quite well. If a Llama has a personality, that is.
