October 21, 2021 – Delivering New Art to the Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas – 3 Piece Floral Set and 1 Autumn 6×6, all #Watercolors

Despite my many gripes about living in Austin, Texas, there’s of course a handful of things I do like. Among them is the opportunity the city makes for artisans 50 or older living in the Austin area to show their creative work.

I’ve been fortunate to have some sales, and am very grateful to be able to replenish my inventory with the paintings above. Three are 8×10 watercolor florals on canvas on absorbent ground.

And the small 6×6 autumn painting is also watercolor on absorbent ground, but on the neat gallery wrapped square canvas.

Below are some pics I took while delivering my new work —

The natural light through the old 1800s windows makes painting in this room sheer pleasure. We (artists) haven’t been able to do that for quite a while now, but we’re all hopeful sometime in the future we’ll be able to do that again ❤️

Another treat is seeing the state capital building, the Texas state flag almost always whipping along in the upper air winds. It’s a beautiful state house, one I used to paint quite a bit, and actually did a small quick plein air of during my 1st ever Urban Sketchers outting just over a month ago.

Please note: the Old Bakery itself has new hours —

Wed-Fri 10-6
Sat 12-5

But their phone # 512-974-1300 has stayed the same 😊

Stay well everyone! Here’s hoping our fortunes are turning better for all of us! ❤️

  “My plan, my hope, is to keep this, my original layin, produce a new 2nd similar layin but add a content color layin; keep it; then repeat the steps with the two formative layers and see what finished product I might produce – 3 works total”

Thanks again, everyone! 😊
