Taste The Arts

Taste the Arts takes place on Saturday, September 29 in Visalia, California. It is a little division of a week long event called “Taste of Visalia“. Maybe. I’m quite confused on the whole shebang.

What I am not confused about is that I will be one of many artists showing and selling my work at a former lumberyard in downtown Visalia from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The former lumberyard is encircled by Oak, Garden, School and Bridge Streets. I think the entrance is on Oak. I think it is free.

I am also not confused about the fact that I did several new paintings for the event. Here is one:

sawtooth oil painting by Jana Botkin

This is Sawtooth, in Mineral King. The painting is 16×20, the price is $375. Maybe people in Visalia aren’t as interested in Mineral King as people on this blog, in Mineral King and in Three Rivers. We shall see! (Who uses the word “shall” seriously??)

  1. Carol, I intentionally exaggerated the color. Now that I know how to match existing color, I think I’m ready to move to a more exciting level. Maybe. Might just be a phase.

    Praise from you is a coveted and cherished thing – thank you, dear friend!

  2. Awesome use of color, Miss Jana.

  3. Beautiful! I really like this painting. The clouds add “interest” in place of the usual white mountain / blue sky paintings I’ve seen (and countless photos I’ve taken) of this Mineral King icon.

    • Thanks, Sharon. I got the photo last fall just after a storm – couldn’t believe the light and color, and I exaggerated it in the painting too.
