A Jammin' Autumn!

The Monte Sano Arts Festival in Huntsville was a great show!

Birmingham Art Walk was great! now on to Leeds

Thanks Birmingham!  Art Walk was a huge success!  I met some great people and had a great time.  Luckily, the rain stayed away!  The event staff was so accommodating and helpful!  A special thanks to Joy, Heather, John and Chuck for all their help (and purchases)!  Next weekend Sept 15-16 is the Leeds Downtown Folk Festival which is a great down home event.  Looking forward to the Dixieland Jazz Band and all the wonderful art.  If you missed me at Art Walk, or saw something that you just had to have, come see me in Leeds! 

Hope to see you at Artwalk 2012: September 7-8

Artwalk 2012 will take place Friday, September 7 from 5-10 pm and Saturday, September 8 from noon-6 p.m. in Birmingham's historic loft district on Morris, 1st and 2nd Avenues North between 22nd and 25th Streets.

My new line: Musical chairs! Old chairs with custom paint job makes a great addition to your music room, front porch or a gift for your finger picker.  No arms on the chair allows plenty of elbow room!  This classic ladder back chair is the quintessential addition to your southern folk art collection.  I have several more ladder backs, a spindle back and an old school chair in the studio waiting for paint.  This particular piece has a primitive blues theme. starting at $325.00

OUTLAND BLUES: Visions from Alabama’s Peculiar Highway.

Please join us on the evening of Friday, May 4^th at Grace Aberdean Habitat Alchemy in Tuscaloosa for the premier of the latest works by outsider artist Anthony Tavis.  You may have seen Anthony’s vibrant and colorful art at the recent Druid City Arts Festival in downtown Tuscaloosa and the Montevallo Arts Festival.  His latest series includes a variety of new characters, old legends, ancient artifacts, highway signs and roadside varmints. This show is a must see for West Alabamians in particular due to its regionally specific subject matter. Hope to see y’all there!

Art on "R" mountain was a huge success, thank you all who came up to Ruffner Mountain for the show.  A special thanks to Jeff and the crew from the East Lake Arts District for hosting an amazing show.  We will definitely see you there in 2013!
