Arizona Fine Art Expo

Hydrangeas and Milk Can 30x40 Oil

The end of daylight savings time is always such a shock.  It's great to have that extra light in the morning, but oh so dark in the late afternoon.  I shouldn't complain--it was in the high 70's where I live in Colorado yesterday.  That's darn near a record breaker for Nov. 6th, but those of us who live here know we are on borrowed time.  Old man winter and his snow-packed roads are going to appear any moment now, so I decided to post some flowers to remind myself that Spring really is on the way.  It's just going to take awhile.
The good news is that I'll be spending a good chunk of this winter in Scottsdale, AZ, where it's quite a bit warmer.  I will be participating in the Arizona Fine Art Expo, which starts mid January and ends the first week of April.  Every year, the Arizona Fine Art Expo showcases more than 100 nationally-acclaimed artists applying their artistic talents.  You can walk through the main gallery/studio area as well as the two-acre sculpture garden and watch your favorite artists applying their talents in a studio situation.  Grab a latte in the cafe and enjoy the musical entertainment on the weekends, or have a quiet weekday visit to the Koi pond and hummingbird/butterfly garden.  Visit often and watch the progress as paintings are completed, sculptures are cast, and pottery is fired.

The Expo will be open every day from 10am to 6 pm and is located on the southwest corner of Scottsdale and Jomax Roads.  Hope to see you there!
