Sneak Peaks!

Hey everyone! We've got a plethora of sneak peaks of Ora's new works. Prepare yourself for a feast of the eyes!

This is "Cheers!" This beauty began as a drawing in Carefree, Arizona, and has finally become a gorgeous painting! "Cheers!" will be finished by the next blog post, so prepare yourselves!

Ora has been ridiculously busy with the past month off, as you can tell.

Another drawing that has become so much more.

The brilliant artist herself adding more detail to "Nectar".

A closer peak to some more detail on "Nectar".

Boulder City Recap!

We had a ridiculously WARM show in Boulder City, Nevada. By warm, I mean HOT. We're so excited for the relentless heat to end!

It was a gorgeous show! We had a packed booth the entire time, in spite of this:

The fan was on full blast the entire show while I (Bexter) hosed myself down in a pitiful attempt to not pass out from heat exhaustion. In all seriousness, we had a wonderful show and loved seeing so many familiar faces and meeting so many new ones!

Ora's been hard at work since we've been back. One of her newest pieces has fallen into place, simply flowing from her paintbrush like a river.

12 ounces. I like to think I had something to do with this: Being a geeky beer connoisseur I've opened Ora's eyes to the beauty of malts and hops (I'm done with patting myself on the back now). 

I LOVE how this painting has turned out!

In Boulder City we got to visit the local brewery, Boulder Dam Brewing, and grabbed a sampler. This was purely for research purposes for Ora's painting. Yes, research...

Our next show will be in November in Burbank! Come down and visit in the (hopefully) beautifully cool weather!

And We're Back!

It's been a jam-packed few months! We went to Bellevue, Fremont, Palo Alto, Mountain View and Lafayette! Finally we've got an entire weekend off to catch our breath and relax.

Lafayette was an extremely busy show.

It was also extremely hot! I couldn't believe how many people were there, packing the streets during 92 degree weather!

 

Ora's been making progress on the latest original: Nectar. Here's a sneak peak:

Breckenridge and Los Altos Recap!

Sorry the blog hasn't been updated in so long. We've been CRAZY busy with travel! Back at the beginning of July we traveled all the way to Breckenridge, Colorado for the Mountain Arts Festival. It was a long two day drive, but we made it!

The Colorado river was RAGING!

Breckenridge was absolutely beautiful.

Our booth was right on the edge of the water. Once the walls were up, we couldn't see it but we got to appreciate the sound of the rushing river. The show went well - we met a lot of new people who started their Ora's Art collections.

After we got home, we had a single day off before jumping right back into the van and heading up to Los Altos.

Ora with some of her collectors! We had a VERY busy show up in Los Altos! Those who missed us in Sunnyvale (which we ended up not setting up/attending because of the downpour) came by during this show to say hello and check out Ora's latest works.

Tomorrow we head right back up to Menlo Park for the Connoisseurs' Marketplace! If you missed us in Sunnyvale AND in Los Altos, or if you just love Ora's work that much, come on by!

About Sunnyvale...

In case you showed up to the show in Sunnyvale, you may have noticed something... We weren't there.

We made the drive up the coast in beautiful weather, but when we awoke Saturday morning to set up (at 4am, thank you very much), it was raining. No, not just raining. 

POURING.

Ora and I tried to find our booth location, but the rain had washed all the markings off of the sidewalk. We parked near where we THOUGHT the booth was, and went for breakfast to wait out the rain.

The rain didn't stop. Here's Ora standing under an awning, still holding her umbrella. 

Double coverage: Yes, it was that rainy. 

Basically, we waited around for the rain to stop. It didn't. We packed up and headed back down the coast.

The good news: We'll be attending the La Jolla Arts Festival in two weeks! Here's all the info:

La Jolla Festival of the Arts

Saturday, June 18th and Sunday, June 19th

The other good news: We tried mead for the first time up in Sunnyvale.

Not the worst way to keep dry!

Henderson Recap!

First off, I would like to thank each and every one of you who braved the heat and the winds to come visit us in Henderson, Nevada this past weekend!

If you were there Sunday morning to afternoon, you know that we started taking the tent apart early. 

Unfortunately, it wasn't early enough!

The winds REALLY picked up, and our booth was trying to mosey away from us, down the street. It was only hampered by NINE people holding on for dear life.

EVIL WIND!

To the other eight of you who helped save us from serious injury - a BIG thank you!

I can't explain how grateful I am that you all were willing to risk life and limb to keep the booth from flying away.

(What COULD'VE happened!)

On a lighter note:

Happy customers!!!

San Diego Recap!

We had the San Diego ArtWalk in Little Italy last weekend.

It was an absolutely GORGEOUS weekend! We could not have asked for more perfect weather. The streets were filled, Ora's booth was packed, and everyone was in a grand mood!

How could you not be, with Italian restaurants up the wazoo? I (Bexter) actually said to Ora, "It's so strange how many Italian restaurants there are around Little.... Italy.... Oh..."

I'm SMRT like that.

It wasn't ALL gorgeous weather and general contentment though...

We also had to sit through a couple of these sunsets overlooking the harbor.

The life of an artist, I'll tell ya!

For this upcoming weekend... We're headed to Henderson!
