Art : … and I ask What’s on the Easel ? Welcome everyone to this week’s blog , with me today , Our Director.
Our Director: Hello Art , great to be here , once again, on the easel is our newest painting , almost completed, on deck another small wood panel.
Art : lots of wood panels lately.
Our Director : yes, we have been doing wood panels , since , last years, Art Fest. But there is a lot of canvas in our future, the transition back to canvas might be interesting.
Art : Art Fest , it’s getting close , and always hush hush lol , what is Art Fest , for those new to the gallery ? Oops I mean , Museum.
Our Director: Art Fest is just over three weeks of creation , our biggest event of the year , we try and do not much but eat, sleep and make art.
Art : Happens when ?
Our Director: It’s an August event , a chance to get out of the heat , and just make art , with out being interrupted by the regular life activities.
Art : but we don’t know when yet ?
Our Director : No, but we expect it will start around the 9 th of August , but that’s all speculation. No one really knows.
Art : Besides Art Fest , what’s going on this year ? Can we get a look ahead from you today ?
Our Director: Sure Art , coming up real soon this July, a trip to , Idyllwild , California, a long weekend up in a mountain cabin , I thinking some watercolors will come out of that trip.
Art : A return to water colors
Our Director : oh yes in a big way this year.
Art : I see , after , Idyllwild ?
Our Director : After that , Art Fest as we mentioned already , and then things will get quite a bit different then usual ..
Art : Ohh ???
Our Director : we will be doing our next biggest art event , Halloween and day of the dead festivities , but after that’s over, we are packing up for Hawaii !
Art : Hawaii ????
Our Director: Almost two weeks on the , Big Island, so lots of picture taking but the trip will be done with water colors.
Art : Wow. An exciting place to do water colors ?
Our Director : Oh yes. We are excited about the trip. We have done lots of photography on this island in the past , but this is the first trip where painting will be the medium used to capture the essence of the island.
Though , I suspect we will see lots of pictures too.
Art : Anything, this December ?
Our Director : We have a winter work shop planned for post Christmas and into January.
Art : So, lots going on this year !
Our Director : yes, started kind of slow the year , as far as new art goes but picking up momentum rather quickly and we are approaching our 200 th painting !
Art : … and with that … sorry.. we are out of time ! See ya next week , when we ask , What’s on the Easel !
