Art I'm Making: Untitled Collage No. 275 (Santa Rosa)

Here's another collage from about this time last year, around the time of Art Trails 2022. Art Trails 2023 is this weekend and next (more below).

This is Untitled Collage No. 275 (Santa Rosa). Acrylic on paper, acrylic monotype, collage. Image size 29.7cm x 14.8cm (11.7in x 5.8in). Matted to 14 x 11 inches. Signed on the mat. Signed and dated on the reverse.

Better yet, if you're in Northern California or you're planning a visit soon, stop by my studio during this year's Art Trails open studio event and see my work in person. More than 130 artists all over Sonoma County will be opening their studios to the public on two weekends – September 30 and October 1 and October 7 and 8. Studios open 10:00AM to 5:00PM on all four days.

Miscellaneous 2023 Alameda All-Italian Car and Motorcycle Show

Yesterday I attended The Alameda All-Italian Car and Motorcycle Show, in Alameda, for the first time in six or seven years. I was able to go this year because for the first time in that many years it didn't coincide with Art Trails (this coming weekend and the following weekend). 

 It's always fun to see what shows up – tiny Fiats and luxury Fiats, sporty Lancias, all kinds of Alfas, Ferraris, and some obscure vehicles I'd never even heard of this time around. I washed, waxed, and spruced up my 1978 Alfa Spider and she got more attention than in the past. Several people stopped to admire the car. A few people were interested enough to take pictures. Perfect weather. A nice way to spend a Sunday morning.
