Open Studio Tour A Success

Many thanks to the friends and art lovers who attended our Open Studio Tour November 3 in Kennesaw.   Everyone seemed to have a good time and I certainly did.   It was a beautiful day.  We are especially appreciative to the collectors who chose to acquire new work.   I understand that other artists on the studio tour also had a good day.  I enjoy going on studio tours myself and often do so when traveling.  The image above is of one of my paintings acquired by a collector.

Robert Burridge Large and Loose Abstract Workshop

I have long loved the style, design and colors of Robert Burridge and his abstract art.  When I found out that he was doing a workshop in Norcross at Kudzu Art Zone I knew I had to attend.   His appearances in the South are limited.  My friend and fellow mixed media/abstract artist Lynn Edwards and I made the trip each day.  It was worth every minute and every dollar  to attend this workshop. Bob uses collage in his pieces as support to the design, with paint being primary.  You can see his work at RobertBurridge.com

So many tips, so much information and so much inspiration.    I want to direct more energy to abstract painting again as my recent emphasis has been mixed media.

This is my latest acrylic painting.My favorite colors.
