Pictures from day 2 of the Sarasota Festival of the Arts, Feb 21st

A little late in posting these, but here they are. Day 2 of the 22nd annual Sarasota Festival of the Arts was a beautiful day. The weather was perfect, the sun was out. The crowds came out as well. Everyone brought their dogs out. Made us wish we could have brought Sargent along.

You can view all the photos on my facebook page (click here).

Ran into a few of the vendors we'd met at the past events, including Steven Whorl, a stained glass artist - Classic Glass Studios and Russell Peters, a ceramic artist - Faith Fired Pottery.

Hope to see you at a future art festival. Check back for new show dates or subscribe to the blog and receive instant email updates.

Getting ready for the Las Olas Art Festival (2) March 6 & 7 - Ft. Lauderdale

Next weekend is the Las Olas Art Festival II in Ft. Lauderdale (March 6 & 7) - a Howard Alan event. This will be the furthest we've traveled to date for an art festival so it poses a few additional challenges, including where to fit the luggage? I've also been re-evaluating the tent set up and plan to make a few changes for this next show. Ginger has been busy matting & framing a few of the prints so that we can display those as well. Now we'll have the option of buying the original oil painting, a framed print of three pieces ("Clown Fish", "Blue Rothko", and "Walsingham Park") and unframed prints. Notecards are also being made but I don't think they'll be ready in time for this show.

Looking forward to seeing a few friends at this show including John Shevlin Jr. He will be there with his "Tropical Funk" paintings.

I've been told Las Olas part I was very busy so I'm looking forward to the crowds at this show.

Reliving the "Burn Notice" episode that features my painting, "Red Rothko"

Found a pretty cool blog page tonight where you can watch streaming video. Check out Burn Notice, season 1, episode 8 "Wanted Man." About 6 minutes in, there is a scene in Fi's apartment where she and Michael are sitting on a red couch, under a red painting. That is my "Red Rothko" painting.

Day 1 of the Sarasota Festival of the Arts, Feb. 20

Today was the first day of the Sarasota Festival of the Arts in downtown Sarasota. The weather was perfect. One short rain shower and then the sun came out. Tomorrow will be the final day of the 2-day event. Over 200 vendors from around the country - painting, photography, jewelry, scultpure, clothing, food vendors and more. I've uploaded some photos to my Facebook page (view here).

The show is 9:30am-5pm Sunday 2/21. Thanks again to Allen and Michelle for stopping by!

Next show: Feb 20/21, Sarasota Festival of the Arts

Two weeks to go before the next show in downtown Sarasota. 22nd Annual Sarasota Festival of the Arts.

Working on a new clown fish painting that I might have finished in time to unveil at the show (30x40). Stay tuned!

Hope to see you there!
