What a wonderful Open Studio! I fully admit to being a bit more anxious than usual this year. I simply did not know what to expect....if anyone would show up, either in person or virtually. I think I can speak for many artists in saying, I don't need crowds of people knocking down my door...I just need a few to let me know that what I'm doing matters...is striking a nerve, stirring a memory, making someone smile. It's a joy to share art and experiences with each other. I didn't realize just how much I missed that till this past weekend. I thank those of you who came by in person and also attended my virtual sessions on Facebook. The comments and thumbs up I look forward to when we can do these things with out such precaution in the future. In the meantime, if you want to check out Open Studio #5 replay you can do that on my You Tube channel ! Enjoy and feel free to share!

Anyway, Open Studio is still ON. It will be different than any other year. That seems appropriate for a 5th anniversary celebration, right? It’s actually possible that the changes will make for a better experience for everyone. I just have to climb my learning curve mountain...which I am happy to do. It is time to mix things up, try some new things and so THAT is the plan! Changing gears is not always easy or fun. But to be honest, I come out wiser and better in the end, altho...I hate to admit that... it’s true. So the TOO many hours on the computer I have spent lately, and the TOO few hours painting...all to make sure this Open Studio happens...will be worth it. And the Live time on camera (no I’m not nervous about that at all ....hahaha) that’ll be fine too, right? Okay Okay...enough already...you want the scoop. There are 2 BIG CHANGES:
Wish me luck and try something new...we'll compare notes later! Sarah A few pictures from last years Open Studio..... |
