Greetings again. June gloom is with us, but the Art scene is purring along. Emeriti Art Show in May was successful,with reception enjoyed by all. Sold cards to fellow emeriti but the highlight was Jean Trueblood purchasing " Persimmon Mountain" This was awarded the Gold Medal at the recent Valley Art Guild Gold Medal Show held at the VIVA Gallery. Jean has always been a strong supporter,especially with her annual purchase of original cards. Now a painting has been added to her collection.
The Art Walk held on behalf of the Conejo Valley Museum was held last week. Cool but pleasant weather. Patrons were a little less than last year but my fellow vendors were out in force.Dominique, Cindy Bolin Jewelry, Christine glass,Ira, and Pong Apinyavat. Was delighted to have Marston Smith and his electric cello with Celtic music in the air. Added a touch of class. The Merrill's visited again and purchased a stack of cards. Also took Xmas orders from Patricia Kling and Don
Zrehigian. Highlight was meeting David and Judith Piche who purchased 'Still Life in Blue" for their vineyard home in Newbury Park. Collectors of traditional art, they have embarked on a more abstract theme.The painting is similar to other still life's in the website gallery.
Expect July to be a quiet month.
