Art at the Hummingbird Saloon

I hung these 6 paintings last Sunday at the Hummingbird Saloon in my neighborhood.  It's a crappy picture because I waited to take it until after the overhead lights had been turned off and it was one of a series of dark gray days.  The large paintings are 30" x 30".  There's a 20" x 20" and I think the rectangular one is 20" x 27".  All acrylics and all but the bottom middle are for sale.  The food at the Hummingbird is delicious.  On Saturdays they open 12-4 for the kiddos to come in and play games. The owners also own Full Tilt Ice Cream two doors down.  Come by to see the art, have a bite to eat, play some pinball, then head to the Ark Lodge Cinemas for a movie.

I'll be posting better photos of each piece in the next few days.

Wedding prep ate my weekend.

NaPhoPoMo #9 Tucking In For The Night

NaPhoPoMo #7 Wedding Prep

Wedding plans are under way here.  In fact we're counting down the days, taking care of the final details.  It's mostly a do it ourselves affair with the help of several friends and family.  Tonight was silver polishing night.  Well, just the knives actually.  

A fabulous collection of vintage silver. 

There are so many gorgeous patterns.  Each time I see a new one I think it's my favorite.  Until the next one.

I especially dig the monogrammed pieces.  We'll sell most of this collection on ebay (where we found them originally) post-party but these two sweeties will be staying to live with us.  Tomorrow...forks.

NaPhoPoMo #6 Photos of Strangers

I was snapping photos of the art work on the Ultramat Laundry in Santa Cruz when Mike started telling me about other public art in town that I might want to check out.  When he heard I was from Seattle he shared that he'd been in the military and stationed in a nearby town during the Seattle World's Fair.  I asked him how old he was.  He just said "pretty old".

NaPhoPoMo Day #4 First Frost

First frost of the year.

One of the roses and a fuschia seem to be a bit confused.

Beauty beauty beauty!

NaPhoPoMo Day #3 Flying Home

Today found us flying home.  It was hard to leave the gorgeous weather and wonderful people.  It's lovely to be snuggled up at home though watching Hocus Pocus a few days later than planned with my sweet boy.

Here's an extra shot of some fabulous texture I couldn't pass up.

NaPhoPoMo Day #2

November 2nd found us still in Santa Cruz visiting dear friends and family.

Karen Walrond (chookooloonks) has declared it National Photo Posting Month.  I'm wanting to add regular blogging to my art practice.  Apparently I work best with a clearly defined objective and most importantly a deadline or an end.  I can't commit to posting daily forever more but I can commit to posting a photo daily for November.  So it will be.  I'm posting two photos today since I didn't post yesterday.
