Hidden in the Hills

I will be at the HITH studio art tour the weekends of Nov. 20-22 and 27-29. It takes place in Cavecreek and Carefree AZ. There will be 4-6 artist at each studio. Most of them will be working on their art. It is a time to view art and see art being made. For maps and more information visit: http://www.hiddeninthehills.com/ I will have my largest piece, Desert Jewel, and a piece from my new African sculpture series, I Already Have Beads, at studio 36.

On the Air

For many years in my former job as principal of South Tahoe Middle School I was call upon to advertise many up coming events at the school. This is the first time I have been asked to help advertise an event as an artist. Today I went down to Phoenix to a local radio station, KOOL, 94.5 to make a promo for Hidden in the Hills Art Show. This is a tour of over 40 studio in the Cavecreek, Carefree area. It takes place the weekend before and the weekend after Thanksgiving. If you are interested in taking a tour just click on : www.sonoranartsleague.org/hidden.php There you will find all the information you need including a map of the tour.

thunderbird show is over.

We just finished the show. We sold two pieces, Many Beads and Wind Dancer. Interestingly enough, no more than 5 minutes after we sold each another person came into the tent to by that piece. To bad they are one of a kind or I could have sold 4 pieces. Great show, nice weather, and two more sales to end the year.

First day of the show

Sold Many Beads, told you so. Many were also looking at Shines like the Sun. We will see what tomorrow brings.

Thursday is set up day

Thursday I will be setting up for this weekends show in Carefree, AZ. Here are two new, just put together, pieces that will be there for sale. The women, Many Beads, is 30" high, 13" wide and 9" deep. It is a 75 pounds California soapstone. The other piece, Shines like the Sun, is 17"high, 9" wide, and 7" deep. It is a piece of Tigereye from Australia that weighs 35 pounds. Both pieces are priced at $3200. I have a feeling that both of these pieces will sell quickly.

I just finished putting together two new pieces for this weekends show. The show will be on Easy Street in Cavecreek, Az. It will run Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The tall piece, Colorado Alabaster, is 21" high. The other is rhyloite. It is 15" high. Hope to see you at the show.

Time to get to work

Well, it took most of the day but the studio is cleaned up. I can now work on wax which will be turned into bronze for my sculptures. I am starting to work on a wax for this pink Colorado alabaster.

I am going to have to pay the price for just putting things in my studio the past week. I have recently spent most of my time outside working on stone. After most of today cleaning I will be able to get to work on the wax to go with the stones.
