Welcome …. to, What’s on the Easel , where we talk about everything art , that’s happening at the , Lisa Lovely LPA Art Museum, I am your host , Art , and we try real hard to publish this blog , first thing in the morning every , Tuesday ! See you then !
Art : Welcome everyone … and it’s going to be another hot one today …116 F or maybe 118 or 117 F … I don’t think they know anymore but it’s gonna be hot.
Talking briefly today with, Our Director , and we are waiting for the big announcement…. When is Art Fest ?
But first … What’s on the Easel ?
Welcome Our Director !
Our Director : Hello Art and good morning ! What’s on the easel today is our second painting of the summer , on a small 22x22 inch wood panel , only a few sketch lines on it so far and some smudges but the artist seem rather excited about the painting already.
Art : We are waiting for the big announcement ?
Our Director : we are indeed as we bake in the heat of the Mohave.
Art : It’s all very hush hush ?
Our Director : Yes , in fact you know , no one really knows if there will be an Art Fest .. until it’s announced but we all know one is brewing. But we suppose to act like it’s a big surprise lol
Art : There is a lot going on in the background ? ( sipping coffee 4:25 AM )
Our Director : Lots of canvas making in the museum and it is of course the tenth annual Art Fest , if it should happen at all ….
Art : .. and no one knows what art will be made this festival ?
Our Director : We really do not know , there are more ideas on the table then could ever be done in one festival .. right now there is a giant canvas completed that’s sitting in the museum , along with five other canvases , maybe a medium wood panel , and lots of rumors about what will become of each canvas … but again we don’t really know …
Art : the coffee is good …
Our Director : poured in some extra beans ..
Art : We have some new supplies ?
Our Director : yes some water new water colors from Japan and some Micron pens and I think they may make an appearance in Art Fest, most likely during our Reno trip that will take place during the fest.
Art : the infamous Reno Trip , at one time thought to be the killer of Art Fest ?
Our Director : Yes , indeed , but really it has had no negative impacts , we simply take our show on the road , and it has inspired some new ways of working and some good art.
Water color painting itself , emerged because of trips to Reno , and that’s the way the festival rolls out , no matter what happens we make art.
Art : ( watching the clock ) there are possible life obstacles that could play into Art Fest ?
Our Director : yes , life continues to happen , people die you know , they don’t check the art schedule when they do.
Art : Your own brother passed away at the start of Art Fest ?
Our Director : yes , two brothers that year , one just at the start of Art Fest and that was during the big plague. It made for some very special art, celebrating my brothers spirit leaving this world and entering a new one.
Art : spirits entering other worlds sounds like something, Lisa would say … witchy stuff ..
Our Director : LOL well I spend a lot of time with the witches lol the magic rubs off lol
Art : .. with that we are out of time .. we are out the door in 9 minutes … so stay cool everyone and we will be waiting for the big announcement !
Bye !
What’s on the Easel … new painting.
