More Getty

What I did find interesting at the visit to the Getty Museum were the gardens and landscaping. It rivaled the architecture for interest, line, texture, and flow. I don't thing one could exist without the other.
 

The Getty

I'd asked about seeing the Getty Museum since I saw it from the highway last year. It's a conglomeration of white buildings and lots of fabulous architecture with some galleries here and there of mainly European art. And few contemporary works. At least not where I could find. Still, a beautiful campus.

 

Coastline

One of the views of the California coast on the perfect November day. It was a time to unwind and soak up the sunlight. We also managed to grab a hot dog, and a few art supplies for later in the week. My idea of doing nothing well.
 

AQT and a Visit from Velda

Velda Newman was part of the closing ceremonies for Art Quilt Tahoe Thursday night. She brought her large works dedicated to her mother, an iris lover. She allowed so little time to see this, I could only snag a quick photo. Another is below. These are spectacular -- big, bold, beautiful. Velda is a treasure. 

 

End of the Week

Here's my walk back from the workshop to dinner. I've had a terrific group of people to work with this week, and we had such good laughs. It was a great diversion from routine, and the land and water a good source of reflection. I'll be back in 2025 is all is well, and hope it is as nice as this week has been.
 

Mid Week at the Lake

 

Wednesday of a print class is when we get in 'the groove'. At this point in the workshop, motifs are flying,  getting recut, redrawn, and used in every direction. Along with work time, we have great food, a neat and tidy room to rest, and many mini lectures from great fiber artists. Art Quilt Tahoe, I'll see you in 2025.

From Command Central

 The view from my table where I do demos. We're about to take on tyvek to cut motifs into the sheets. It's fun, fast, surprising in all.

A Splendid View

Anchored at Art Quilt Tahoe, I'm in a week of constant awe of the view. As we print in one of the most spectacular buildings at this conference center, I have to remind myself to stop, look at this impressive view, and be thankful I can do what I do. 

Wish I Was There Part 2

As you know, I wasn't able to attend the opening of the Quilts=Art=Quilts exhibit at the Schweinfurth Art Center, but my friend Bev sent these to show where my two works were placed and it good company. Top is 'Rite of Spring' to the right of the pic; 'Plants take a Holiday' lower pic at right. 
 

Wish I Was There

 It was a total travel day. And this is posting late because I'm off three hours from the east coast. Here's all of me for two weeks. The red is tape.

Perks of Outside Studio

I returned to rent studio space away from my home studio after about 40 years. My space is fairly quiet, but there are artists near; a little chat is always welcome and uplifting. I realized that as I spoke with Karen Sardasco, her apron seemed to be one of her paintings in draft form. Wonder if I'm seen the same?
