Buffalo Society of Artists Open Studio at my house



A cold and snowy January day was the setting for my open studio visit. I was so happy that so many members chose to come out on the bitter cold day! We Buffalonains are a hearty breed!


The photo on the right shows me on the right with members Todd Chalk, left, and Norine Spurling looking at my latest motorcycle painting. The Buffalo Society of Artists is comprised of artists working in all media, so these studio visits are a way to see how artists work in all varieties of media. It's fun to get ideas for our own studios when we see what other artists have chosen for their own workspaces.
On the left here is a shot of more members crowded into my studio. Former BSA president Gary Wolfe's back is to the camera, and he's greeting Todd, former president Coni Minneci, Norine is behind them. On the right our treasurer Helen Russell is smiling while Beth Pederson and Priscilla Bowen greet each other. I'm in the back with Nita Easter talking about my "Mid-Life Crisis."
On the right, Helen, Gail Bille, Priscilla, Beth, Gary, and Norine are all in our family room. I have my artwork all over the house, so one benefit of hosting an open studio visit is that it forces you to clean the whole house!! Now it should be good for a little while....after a busy week we both need to kick back a bit!
All in all it was a lot of fun, and I hope everyone had a great time.
