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!

Showcase entry

"et in arcadia ego..." is entered in the September Showcase on ARTSlant. If you feel the urge, please visit ARTSlant at http://www.artslant.com/global/artists/show/47784-randall-holbrook and cast a vote for my painting. Thanx! There should be a group show with SCA coming up soon, as well as the 2nd Saturdays in San Juan Capistrano. I will be exhibiting November 14 and December 12. The park on Rios Street has been completely overhauled and looks beautiful. I hope to get a booth space over there.

Out in the sun again

I will be out in the sun this weekend at the Second Saturday Art Fair in San Juan Capistrano this Saturday, August 8. Come out and say hi! There are lots of artists, live music, and good bars nearby! Hope to see you there.

Website Update

I finally managed to update my website with a new look.
