Carefree Recap!

We're heading out for another trip tomorrow, but I still need to catch you up on Carefree!
We started off on a good note - Sangria! What can I say, Fountain Hills has created a monster (or two)! Ora may or may not have done a new original drawing titled, "Lady Sangria"...
We finally visited Chef Sara's FINISHED raw vegan cafe, and it was EPIC!
We split the combo appetizer - almond falafel, olive pate, hummus, green salad and raw vegan crackers.
I asked Sara to "surprise me" and received a WOW tower - nuts and seeds that have been soaked to release the enzymes, along with a bunch of shredded veggies - I can't even begin to tell you what was in here. It was PACKED with nutrition. Kind of an interesting/slimy texture, but I loved the crunch and the spice!
Our absolute favorite part of the meal - Tiramisu! This had a base of medjool dates and crushed almonds, topped with macadamia nut cream, Sara's homemade dark chocolate and cocoa powder. I'll go back just for the desserts - it was that amazing!

The show was a bit quiet, but we got to meet a lot of wonderful people who collect Ora's art. Many fond memories were exchanged.

Tomorrow we head off to Tempe, Arizona. We already know about Crave, the restaurant/bar across from our booth, but is there anywhere else local that we should eat??

Welcome to Ora's Art Blog!

     Hello everyone, and welcome to Ora's Art Blog - an interactive look into the creative musings of a traveling artist.
The stunning artist herself, Ora Tamir!
I'm Bexter, Ora's assistant, and I'll be updating this blog every week so you can follow the adventures of Ora and myself as we take to the open road and showcase her art. I'll also be giving a little behind-the-scenes tour of the studio and some background on how Ora's artwork comes to life.
A small glimpse into the birth of an oil painting.
The original drawing - "Infinite".
"Infinite" - oil painting in progress. 
Stay tuned!

     This year we have THIRTY-THREE (!!!) shows that we'll be attending, so keep checking back and we'll let you know when we'll be in your area. You can also sign up to be on Ora's mailing list by sending an e-mail to orasartblog@gmail.com.

     We just got back from a show in Carefree, Arizona, the first of the year, and enjoyed some beautiful weather and a steady stream of clients, both new and returning.
One of Ora's clients-turned-friend, Sara, is opening up a raw vegan academy and cafe over on Cave Creek Road, and we were lucky enough to get an inside look before she opens in two weeks. More details on that can be found on my personal blog: Hike, Bike, Eat.

     Our next show will be the Southwest Arts Festival (Booth #647) on January 28th, 29th and 30th at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. We'd love to see you there, so please come on over and visit us! You'll get an extra smile and bonus points if you bring baked goods for the Bexter. 

I'm just sayin'...
