I heart art

-
I met up with some friends (Leanne, Howard, and Seth) to explore the Pioneer Square Art galleries for First Thursday and then later met up with Adriana and her friend for some drinks and dinner. It was a good evening since I am trying to get back into a creative zone/frame-of-mind.

My favorite artist of the evening was Ryan Molenkamp. I loved his artwork and the multi-level/multi-studio spot he was in. (Right on Western, just off Yesler.) It reminded me of the Philly studio lofts.

I was soooo tempted to purchase one of the following pieces from him. It is 3 blocks from work, so I might pop in there tomorrow...or maybe Monday. Click on image to get a bigger preview!

10 Place – Oil on Canvas 18"x30"

Places Sketch 7 – Mixed on Board 14"x11"

16 Place – Oil on Board 11"x14"

I was passing by a gallery and was attracted to the following artwork by Harold Hollingsworth called "Squaler." Unfortunately, we never made it in to bargain my 1st unborn for this painting. Somehow I came across the artist's postcard. I will keep an eye out for hopefully a more affordable version! This one would have been perfect, placed above my bed. Oh well.

Squaler, 2007 – Oil and Acrylic on Canvas 78"x66"

Oh speaking of art, here is the print I bought at Flatstock last weekend by Justine Ashbee.

The above print will look nice matted and framed in my apartment.
Well its almost 11 and this chick is beat!

Its been a while since I posted here. May was an insanely busy but AMAZING. There was the Highline High School fundraiser dinner. I never recalled my high school having fundraisers and since I don't have kids, I told Carinna I would join her for her school's fundraiser auction/dinner. It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar...

Summer came and went

Where did the summer go and what did I do. SOOOOO much. It was a great summer. I only ended up camping once but it was a good one. I went to PARIS! Which was gorgeous, romantic, rich in foods and simply breathtaking.  I wish I had time to post highlights of my summer but I can only suggest to check out all my photos since May on Flickr. It was a good summer in Seattle.
