The whole studio is getting a makeover... top to toe!

Cannot wait to show you all next week.

Thank you Art Solutions!

Gracen busy at her desk in Jess's office this morning.... TGIF babe!

    

We think her 'color board' of sticky notes was inspired by a set of work recently framed, Karlen's Color / Shape Series on paper.  Come see new work in the studio soon!

Did our best with the 'pinhole' technique, but mostly just waiting for our photographers to send over their pictures from today!

Hemingway doesn't super care about this once in a lifetime event.

Pulled some framed acrylics out of hiding and onto the main stage this morning!  In the process of refreshing our studio walls, so excited to see final results.

Freshening up our studio and had fun helping Janet Orr assemble her over-sized ceramic sculptures!  Fully custom in size + coloration, they even do well outdoors.

Offering 'art solutions' as a service can often mean collaborating with several artists and craftsman to get an exact look.  Below: specialty printers were enlisted to produce a Dave Wilson image on un-varnished wood panel, which local artist Judith Dauncey has hand-embellished to lend the final 'pop' of dimension that can be lost when printing on certain substrates.  Stay tuned for the result!  Judith is painting live in studio today.  

Thanks to last week's rain the studio is blooming.  Cloudy skies have given us some amazing photographs from artist's in the Valley, we can't wait to show you!

It takes a village!

This week we're grateful Jonelle Davis delivered our reupholstered studio armchairs, newly off-limits to Hemingway.  Our install crew kept us posted on gallery wall hanging at Mastro's Steak 48 Chicago.  Testani Design Troupe did a beautiful job.  As the week goes on we expect a few more artists to drop in and swap samples, stay tuned for some exciting collaborations...

So great to see Mita in the studio.  She not only brought us chocolates but shared with us some fantastic new artists she's showing.

 Sedona artist Deb Strong Napple beat the heat with the cool pastels 

prominent throughout her plein air series.  

Here are a couple we had framed for the studio - notice how Tru Vu glass fronts go 

completely undetected - no glare to distract from the art!

Blessed to have Jenn in today... the organizing queen went to town on our frame wall!

How does your garden grow?

Thank you Tom Tuberty + Janet Orr for keeping our secret garden looking fresh! Tomatoes coming soon...

Janet Orr's ceramic garland bringing charm + whimsy to our garden!

Love getting to add on to projects-past... thank you Testani Design Troupe!

Draw me like one of your French girls...

Ollie poses by Cole's spot-on clay portrait he brought home from school!

Happy to see Baby Bear + Emily in the studio... 

Barrett is carefully considering how to begin his art collection, which should it be?

Usually we like our miniature pieces, but recently we seem to be serving up 'oversize' like it's the flavor of the week!  Union Jack flag came out to 10' wide, and 'Bella' barely fit through the door.  Stop by the studio to check out Art Holeman's 'Street Sweeper'.
