Hanging around Colorado this week to escape the Texas heat and participate in the High Octane Art festival Saturday which is part of the antique car show this weekend. Will display primarily my vehicles and old architechture with some landscapes out. Plan to shoot some of those requests I’ve been recieving so I’ll be reviewing my email list. Be sure to comment if you want me to be on the lookout for anything 😉

Will be staying in Colorado Springs the next couple days then heading back over probly early Thursday morning… 

Well, had a great time in Salida this weekend 🙂 Decided to try calling my old friend Anuja (lives in the Springs) one more time – as been trying for about 6 months but she’s been in India and had the phone shut off. Anyway, she finally answered and swung up and picked her up and she helped me all weekend 😉

We were on the street by the food vendors – yet still didn’t eat til later each day as we were pretty busy. Crowd was good on Sat – a little slow on Sunday. Old pickups and architectural were hits, and also sold my newest piece which I debuted:

‘Gorilla Falls – Contemplating the Journey’

– still in Colorado, but will post it as soon as I get back 🙂

Beatiful out here and cold as hec in the morning (lows get into the 30s still), compared to highs of about 105 in Austin 😉  Look forward to next year! 🙂

Enjoyed meeting everyone out at the Oasis Restaurant this weekend. I appreciate everyone who withstood the heat to browse my artwork and chat*. Many had seen me at other events around Texas and recognized my from online. I may just have to try it again this weekend since I’ve pretty much decided to wait until August to head back out to Colorado for the Salida show 😉

* Didn’t actually melt Friday at setup and made it through the heat 😉 I setup in the back area so I could setup my tent and everything, but that asphalt was brutal.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my both in downtown Frederick, Maryland this past weekend! 🙂

After a rainy sloshy setup on Friday, the weekend was beauftiful and lots of people out. The festival was setup along the paver-lined canal with nice bridges and flora along the way. – pics later 😉

Especially enjoyed chatting with my neighbors Al (now from Roanoke VA) and Billy from Williamsburg VA. Al has some jazzy one-of-a-kind pices and Billy wonderful African wildlife shots.

Debuted my ‘Early Mooring’ and ‘Montauk Harbor’ pieces taken a couple weeks ago in Montauk New York. These are my first ‘out of Texas’ shots I have displayed 🙂

Taking some down time today, but hope to shoot some more cool stuff on my way to Chicago, Il for Wells street this weekend.

I have accepted an invitation to the Wells Street Art Festival 2009 in Chicago! :0

This is one of the largest & most prestigious art festivals in the nation with expected attendance of 70,000.

Great to setup at the Palmer events Center for the 2009 Plutopia SXSW party where I enjoyed chatting with people about my artwork and reconnecting with creative types I haven’t seen in awhile: Parker, Lanel, Chad, Albert, Sara & more – really great seeing you!

Shame more people didn’t get to participate & enjoy – oh well 🙂

Spent some time in the area a few years ago and been planning to go back to Colorado to escape the Central Texas heat in August 🙂

Salida Riverside Fine Arts Festival

Salida, Colorado – August 15 & 16

Very pleased to wake up Saturday and see an email they were putting the artists in a large tent instead of us all setting up our tents in thirty mile per hour winds. Actually the winds weren’t quite as bad as I expected but always nice to be under one roof with everyone. One drawback was the tent had red & white stripes, so half my display was red-shifted. Short day – did a small setup, sold some canvases and was home in Austin just after dark 🙂 Organizers were great and saw some artists from the Buda & Salado shows.
