ArtRageous Recap

What a FABULOUS event put on by City of Auburn Arts Commission!

Maija McKnight did a stunning job as coordinator of ArtRageous. It was a busy day at Les Gove Park in Auburn and many people participated in creating art.

My favorite was Susan Robb of Seattle with her Giant Black Toobs Art Installation. She and her partner raced to fill the Giant Toobs with air and then tack them to the ground. The Giant Toobs swayed with the atmospheric conditions of the day.

At my watercolor mandala painting tent, I watched young children as well as seniors creating colorful mandala paintings. Here are some young artists at work:





And believe it or not, this car was painted today by fair goers.......



I believe a fun time was had by all!

View From The "Titanic"

Just finished my second painting which I named the View From the "Titanic" in the Mexico Series.

Why, you might be wondering? Let me tell you the story.......

This lovely deck area is where I spent time painting a couple of mandalas while staying at Sanoviv. It was my favorite spot.






Nice, huh?!?!?

I later learned from Francisco that the staff call the small deck the "Titanic" because of its shape and the way it sticks out above the ocean.

Looking south the hillside is draped with ice plants and they were in full bloom due to the warm, Mexican sunshine. I thought it would make a great watercolor painting. How do you feel?
