Open Studios

Yesterday, several of my friends and I got together and toured some of the Open Studios.  We had a blast and then went to lunch at our favorite restaurant...I'm not saying the pomegranate martinis haven't influenced us, but...they are yummy!!!
Here are a few pictures I took on the tour:

This is by Diane Gilgore from ArtBomb

My crazy friends next to one of Diane's sculptures

Diane Gilgore holding the piece I bought from her.  She's telling me about the painting next to her...the rescude dog (one of 28 she and her husband have saved) is looking up at the squirrel above his head.  They drove him crazy.

My favorite painting of Diane's.  I named it "The cone of shame".

Angela Carrier from http://www.acarrierstudio.com/blog/

I love her multi media collages.  I'm begging her to have classes in her studio.

Dabney Mahanes standing beside her drawing of a pregnant crow.  It has such personality!!!

She was so warm and welcoming, my friends had to drag me out of her studio. 

We had a fantastic day and I can't believe I didnt' take more pictures, but here's a link to the studios:
