First Saturday, Three Rivers, September First

First Saturday Three Rivers has been happening for 3 years now. On the first Saturday of the month, merchants and artists in Three Rivers do something special. They have sales, open houses, new products, refreshments, or anything out of their normal procedures for the day.

These 9 fruits are each 6×6″, oil on wrapped canvas, $40 each, and available at Colors, An Art Gallery

It gives you a reason to come up the hill. I’ve heard it is fun. There is something about most of the first Saturdays that just won’t fit into my life, usually involving Mineral King. Occasionally I do open my studio or join the folks at Colors, but not in September. I’m sorry. I hope you visit Three Rivers anyway and have a bang-up great time.

On September 1 (Happy B’day, S & MKW & RT!) Colors will have 2 new paintings from me. Not really new, but old paintings that I retouched because I paint better now (an admission of growth rather than a statement of false humility about the past or braggadocio about the present). They are the paintings of Sequoia trees, hanging above the oranges:

The 2 8×10 paintings of Sequoia trees (AKA Redwood trees, like my high school) will be available on September 1 at Colors, $90 each, unless someone buys them before then. Might that be you?

If you are interested, you will enjoy seeing them in person much more than in this crummy little photo.
