Art I'm Looking At: Open Studios at Atelier One, Graton

Despite having virtually no wall space left for art, I acquired a piece by Claude Smith yesterday at the Atelier One open studio event in Graton. It's a piece I've had my eye on for a couple of years, actually. Very pleased to give it a new, permanent home. I'll find a spot for it somewhere. 

I visited the studios of many friends and acquaintances and met a few people for the first time as well. I always enjoy seeing what fellow artists in the area are up to. I even learned something about yoga. Recommended. The event is on again today, Sunday, November 16. And don't miss Gina Kuta's pottery studio across the street from the main studio building. 

Serendipitous Art: Loading Dock, Graton (October 9, 2014)

I found this paint-smear composition on a loading dock in Graton, CA. The old warehouse building is now used as artist's studios. It looks like someone was working here.... Unintended art, serendipitous art.

Found Art: Perforated Trailer (November 7, 2013)

A trailer with holes in its bed. Parked on a street in Graton, California. I'm not sure what this vehicle is designed for, but the holes and their shadows on the street below looked like art to me. Found art.

Art I'm Looking At: Found Art

Another example of found art. I loved this old boat in an antique store (in Graton, CA), upended, with its dangling rope.
