Glenwood Ave Arts Fest

Can't believe it's the middle of August already. I've had a wonderful run of shows this summer. It did get pretty hot for some of them but this weekend is going to be very nice. I'll be in the Glenwood Ave Arts Fest booth #48. This is such a nice show AND it's in my neighborhood, Rogers Park. I've tried to stock up on everything but still can't seem to catch up with inventory so stop by early for the best picks.

Next week, I'll be in the Bucktown Arts Fest booth #159. It'll be my first year in this show and I'm really looking forward to it. A lot of excellent artists and a good crowd of art collectors. Let's hope this beautiful weather continues.

I have a new fall and winter schedule coming up soon. If you plan on ordering holiday gifts this year please plan and order ahead. I get overwhelmed the closer we get and I don't want to disappoint anyone.

Just a few pics from the Evanston Lakeshore Show. I think I had the best view of the lake and lagoon.

Thanks again for all your support of my work and I hope to see you soon!

Art Fair Season

I'm in full swing with the summer art fairs. Pensacola was wonderful. The museum people couldn't have taken better care of us. I got to use my new tent and it even held up to a tornado near by. I thought for sure I was going to return on Sunday and there wouldn't be anything left. I also took advantage of being on the Gulf and had my family meet me there. We stayed in a wonderful condo on the beach . I really relaxed for once. If anyone would like the contact info for the condo just shoot me an email. It was very affordable and oh, so perfect!
Last weekend I did the 57th Street Art Festival in Hyde Park. I've decided if I ever have to move from Rogers Park I'd go to Hyde Park. Such a great mix of peoples. The weather was absolutely perfect and the fair itself was top notch. A lot of very good artists at this show. I was honored to be among them.

Next, tomorrow I'll be at the Andersonville Midsommer Fest on Clark. My booth #305 is right in the middle of the fair near Starbucks (thank goodness). It's going to be a hot one so have plenty of sunscreen, a hat and a cold one in hand. I have a lot of new images since last year's Midsommer Fest so come by and see me.

TTV of Rogers Park

In the last post I said I was going to take off and go shooting at the beach. Well, here are a few photos of that day. The technique I used to create these photos is called TTV--through the viewfinder. I used my digital camera and shot through another camera. It has such a dreamy quality. I've been using it on portraits and flower photos. This is the first time I used it at the beach.

The location is in Rogers Park, Chicago and only 3 blocks from my house. One of my favorite things to do is take beach chairs with Louis and sit on the pier (with a mimosa!). It really lifts my soul to listen to the waves and feel the breeze off the lake. LOVE IT!

Enjoy my view.
