Notes from the gallery

Joan Stuart Ross, Little town, mixed media encaustic, 12 x 12

Artstock, this last weekend, the fall festival of the arts was a wonderful event.
The weather co operated. Looked to be a few new faces wondering around the galleries.
Lots of positive feedback on the educational aspect with technique demonstrations going on.

Have not heard much about how sales have been. To be continued.

At waterworks we had a great time with the smell of fresh molten wax. Check out a few photos at waterworks gallery.
Always exciting to have clients and the artist mixing it up, chatting, and most importantly for the public seeing how the artworks are created and get a glimpse of the inner workings the artist's mind. I have noticed the simpler something looks, the more complicated to create.

David Eisenhour,called the other day with some fabulous news, he will be having a show in NYC in November of this year. This is a very exciting event, as having a New York show is seen as very prestigious! The artist is exposed to a much larger viewing audience. If interested in seeing his show, contact me and I will get the details.

Catherine Eaton Skinner, has a show opening in Seattle with a new series of works.
Very beautiful and Zen like mixed media encaustic images.

Locally, at the IMA Island Museum of Art, a small sculpture show is currently up. This exhibition is a good cross section of the local sculpture scene with representation from all the islands in San Juan County including by Tom Small, Matthew Palmer to list a few. If in town stop by and visit.


As the weather is turning a bit cooler, and the fall foliage is making it's appearance, at the gallery I am starting to gather artists for the gallery's Annual Holiday Show, opening Thanksgiving weekend with new works by Island favorites Jaime Ellsworth [check this out, we are the fall back cover of Art Access [woo woo & thanks to Jaime] Tom Small.
