Sideshow Shenanigans

I have 12 paintings on exhibit at the Camino Real Playhouse in San Juan Capistrano. It's a good feeling to be invited back annually for the SJC Melodrama, written by my friend Gary McCarver. This is my fifth year! "Reed" is back for this show, so come and visit him. Thanks to Beverly Blake and Randi Peshkin for their continued support.

San Juan's Dirty Laundry

Showing in the lobby of the Camino Real Playhouse February 20 through March. "Wyatt Earp Live in San Juan" and "San Juan's Dirty Laundry" melodrama will be performed on the stage.

Laugh/Drink/Cry Opening

A few entries from opening night.

Laugh/Drink/Cry

I will not be at the Second Saturday Art Fair in SJC this weekend, we will be at Mt. SAC for the Cross Country CIF preliminaries. That evening, however, we'll be at the artist reception for the Laugh/Drink/Cry show at the SCA Project Gallery in Pomona.

Busy weekend coming up

November 14th will be a busy one with the 2nd Saturday Art Fair in downtown San Juan Capistrano all day, a couple soccer games with the girls, and then the Laugh/Drink/Cry juried show exhibition opening reception from 6-10 pm. The Laugh/Drink/Cry show is at the SCA Project Gallery, at 281 S. Thomas Street, Pomona, CA and runs November 14 to December 5. I had two pieces accepted for the show.

San Juan Capistrano Ridgewalk

Got up and out early this morning for the ridgewalk. It was a beautiful morning, above is a view of Doheny and Dana Point Harbor. I paired up with Howard Chaney, who painted harbor view. I looked east a little bit, and found a nice ridgeline with trees, some ocean behind, and one of the hiking trails being used by the walkers. We painted for about three hours, and came down off the hill (big hill!) around 11:00.

We got quite a few visitors to stop and chat, so I suppose as a "Plein Aire" experience it was a bit more social than usual. I found it a very engaging experience and hope to make it a habit.

Plein Aire?!?

I will be a "prop" for the SJC Ridgewalk and 10k run this Saturday morning. I will be trying my hand at painting out there in the wilds of the Capistrano hills - a la Van Gogh!
