E.A.S.T. Weekend Two! Last Show of the Year

 

The second weekend of the East Austin Studio Tour starts this Saturday! Click on the link to get to the online catalog:http://east.bigmedium.org/catalog.html

I am showing some larger pieces involving multiples as well as a few explorations of the eggshell on its own, and as always some lovely singular works. This is the last show I will be doing for the year. 

I'm trying something new this year that I hope will be a success. I will be conducting a drawing for "Call Response" (details of work here: http://katydavidart.blogspot.com/…/friday-egg-call-response… .) Entry for the drawing is $10 and at 6 p.m. Sunday, November 23rd I will draw the winning ticket. Winner will be notified by telephone or email on Sunday evening. If you can't make it by the studio tour you can still enter the drawing: just give me a call at (512) 965-7061 and we can do it over the phone or send it through Paypal to katydavidart (at) gmail(dot) com and I will fill out the ticket for you.

Stop by to say hello, see my new work, have a glass of wine and try your luck!

If the idea of having to choose from over 400 artists is daunting, there is a great solution! My friends at CAMIBA art at offering curated tours of some select studios. For more information, go to CAMIBA art or to Art Alliance.

I hope to see you out and about over the next two weekends. There's some great art in this town: get out there and see it!

Day 2 of The East Austin Studio Tour

Day Two has begun! Yesterday was a lot of fun and I got great responses to my new direction and am excited to work on more ideas this winter. I have one of my goose eggs up for raffle, so this is a great chance for you to own one of my works for the price of a $10 raffle ticket! Even if you can come in person, you are still eligible to win it. Just contact me at katydavidart at gmail dot com and we can work out a way for you to enter. Here's the one I chose to raffle off:

For more information on the piece, go to this previous blog post.

Good luck!

Friday Egg: Woven Tulips

This goose egg pysanky is based on the same geometry as one that I posted a few months ago called Echinacea. I love seeing how the same pattern done with different motifs and colors can change so dramatically. Can you tell when they are side by side? Alternating levels and stacking motifs!

Happy Friday!

Friday Egg: Torsion #1 Blues

A couple of weeks ago I posted this design done in reds and purples and said I would soon post another one or two that showed how different it looks with different colors so here you go!

Here they are side by side. What do you think of the difference?








The eggshell featured today was done in PUSA Patina, UGS Turquoise and UGS Bright Blue on white base eggshell color.

Happy Friday!

Curated Tours of the East Austin Studio Tour

The East Austin Studio Tour is coming up fast (November 15th and 16th, 22nd and 23rd) and there's a new way to do it this year! I know it can be daunting to try to figure out where to go and who to see out of over 400 artists and studios. I have a great solution! Art Alliance Austin and  CAMIBA art curator Troy Campa are offering a series of curated tours where they picks out 5 artists who stand out from the crowd. It looks like they are three to four hours long and on some of them they even have a tour van so you don't have to drive yourself around.

I think it's a great way to dive in to EAST if you haven't before and even if you have, they will take you to see amazing artists you would miss otherwise. If you are interested, take a look at the CAMIBA art website or the Art Alliance website.

I hope you have a chance to go on the tour this year, no matter how you do it, and that you stop by my studio to say hello and take a look at some of my new works. Here's peek:
