Above, find a slideshow of images on my studio— 617 Midway— from the 2007 Fort Point Spring Artwalk. This year’s Artwalk was a great success. Held Friday, May 4th through Sunday, May 6th, we had outstanding weather and great attendance.
I sold a few pieces from my studio, and some poetry chapbooks as well— and truly enjoyed all the interesting conversations I had with visitors to my studio. The reception to my new work was great, and has certainly helped to fuel my painting over the past few weeks.
It is a fairly large undertaking to prepare for these. In fact, on Friday the 4th, right before I opened my doors, I thought, "I am never doing this again." Between making space for people to walk through comfortably— and stay and enjoy the paintings— as well as cleaning, hanging work, preparing price lists, etc., etc., it always takes much more time than I anticipate. I still haven’t got my television out of the closet yet.
But, it was well worth it. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend, and to the Fort Point Arts Community http://fortpointarts.org/ for putting together such a great event.
Hopefully the pictures give a feel for what it was like. I had more than 200 people in over the weekend, and there were amazing questions from people, and great discussions overall... and to watch people's response was so wonderful. Some of the pictures are priceless, as the viewers and the paintings seem to be having a silent discussion that we get to spy on.
Hope you enjoy, and see you in October for Open Studios.
