Galapalooza

Hello, Art Friends!
Several art happenings are coming up this weekend.
1st. This Saturday, the 24th, is Galapalooza at the Monte Cristo in Everett, from 10 - 5PM. This is a wearable art fair. I will be there selling vintage, antique and costume jewelry. Lots of sparkle stuff for the holidays, plus vintage buttons, eye wear, and some very old fancy hat pins. I have a few pieces of vintage cosmetic items, and some fun little handbags. Besides me, there will be 30 other artists/crafts persons and vendors with everything from handmade scarf's, jackets and purses to vintage clothes and much more. We have raffles, a cake walk, wine and massages. Men don't need to shy away, as it is a one stop holiday gift buying extravaganza. I will also have a few men's items, (vintage ties, and cufflinks). 1507 Wall St. in Everett. www.artscouncilofsnoco.org

2nd. Going on the same day is "Open Studio" for the artists on Wetmore Avenue. On the corner of Hewitt and Wetmore is my studio space, 2831 Wetmore, that I share with Jane Steele-Meagher. She is a fiber artist and sculptor. She will open the studio/gallery at noon. Next door to us is Evelia Sanchez, who is a clay and mixed media artist, along with her studio mate, Cheri O'bien. Just a few doors from them is Carol Chen Lord, who has a made a lovely studio filled with mixed media collage. All three studios will be open until 8 PM, and will be serving refreshments.

3rd. I will be having an opening in Seattle on Saturday, November 7th, at Local Color in the Pike Place Market. Local Color is coffee shop and jazz house located just across from the flower stalls at the market. The shop is run by a wonderful couple who put on an great opening. My pictures and bio will be posted on their site in November, and I will be there 6-8pm on the 7th. www.LocalColorSeattle.com

Fall Colors

We are already in the 3rd week of fall with Halloween just around the corner. The costumes are coming out of the closet, and party planning is in full swing. Little kids are dreaming about mountains of candy. I personally love the bags of individually packaged miniature candy bars, malt ball, and sugar babies. This is stuff that wouldn't make it past the front door if it wasn't for the holiday.
The painting on this post is from my "The Color Inside" series, of 12 x 12 inch acrylic paintings.This piece has some very nice deep fall colors. As I painted this series I tried to visualized what a person would look like if they were color mapped. What color would their emotions be? What color would their mood be? How much space would happiness take up, and what color would it be for each individual.

Studio will be open until further notice

This weekend is the Crazy Sale at the studio. It is basically a garage sale with some art, vintage china, glass & books, jewelry, natural wonders and lots of oddities. The oddities are going fast. The studio was supposed to be closing next week, but the Artists In Great Spaces, program has had a very nice response in Everett, and I have been asked to continue my stay. I will be moving out the non art g-sale items and moving my art, and my paints back in to the studio October 5th. This time I have asked artist Jane Meagher to join me in my space at 2831 Wetmore Ave, in downtown Everett. Just a few block west of Comcast Arena and Event Center. We hope to collaborate on a sculpture piece and our space should be open more days with the two of us sharing the space. Please check back for times next week. Until then GO DAWGS! Speaking of dogs, Lucy as turns out is a good studio dog. She love the place, and settles right done to lay in the sun, and she gets lots of greetings and treats.

Art Walk

This is my 5th week in the downtown Everett studio, and things are finally in place.
This weeks hours are: Tuesday and Thursday 11:30 -4
Friday 11:30 -6
This Saturday is Art walk in Everett. I will be open from 4 - 8pm, along with Wise Designs and Lowell Art Works.
I have 3000 square feet of art space, at least that is what I've been told. I have totally filled my studio space with paintings original prints, miniature masks and more.
I have windows on two full sides, and it is a bit like being in a fish bowl.
To celebrate this great program (Artists in Great Spaces) I have temporarily put every piece of art on sale, most pieces are half off their listed price, but just for the next 2 weeks. So come on in and have a visit and check out the other artists in their studios.

Dogs and girls

I just got an email from the people who rescued my Lucy. We had lost contact with them over the years, but we have always been curious to know how the family and Lucy's sister are doing. They recently read about me and my art in the paper and sent me a note. It seems Lucy's sister just had knee surgery. I guess this really pulls true for the lab, genetic group theory. Lucy is still in recovery from her second knee surgery, but she is just a month away from freedom, but not the unrestricted kind of the past. There will be no more jumping in and out of the car and truck. No more jumping onto our extra high bed. We will stay clear of those big logs at the beach, and keep her just a bit closer on the trail. Her leg are doing splendidly. Now if we could just get her to relax when it rains, thunders, or the neighbors Chihuahuas bark, we would be totally there.
On other fronts, the painting from last weeks post sold at the studio. Yippee for me! Besides the Everett studio/gallery I am also showing dog and cat art at Paddywack, in Mill Creek and the Mapleleaf Vet in Seattle. As always a donation to animal charity is made with every purchase of art. This weeks posted hours in Everett are Tues, Wed, Thurs 11:30 - 6, Friday 11:30 -2, Saturday 12 -3. I take appointmentws too. Hope to see you soon. www.janetwoldart.com
