Well, I'm back from my little show road trip - down to do the Park City Kimball Art Festival in Utah, then on to Ketchum, Idaho for the Sun Valley Arts & Crafts Festival. In Park City I managed to survive 7000' elevation and a really impressive mountain storm/downpour that left my rug and panels soaking wet. My host in Sun Valley was kind enough to let me unload my van and spread everything out in his yard to dry.
On a high note, Sun Valley is one of my very favorite shows. I love spending the weekend surrounded by really good art. This year I had wonderful neighbors, which always makes the time fly by. It was such a pleasure to look across the aisle and enjoy Gregory Strachov's stunning watercolors (he has control of light effects you simply would not believe) and Gerald Arrington's beautiful ceramic sculptures. Take a look at their work - the two booths were paired perfectly. These folks inspire me to make better art.
Next week I'm off to Art in the High Desert in Bend, Oregon - August 28-30. Another top-notch show in another paradise, life is hard. Maybe this time we can skip the thunder & lightning?
