Watercolor of Vintage Matches |
What can I say. So much art so little time to absorb it all.
Interesting...I would hate to be the one to move this back to the gallery. |
Collage Dog Art
Some doggone good art.
Pretty design....get closer
.
All old vintage metal tape measures.
And who did I run into but a fellow flyer, Valerie Weller from Twig2Nest Studio! Check out who we're standing in front of....but non-other than a Liepke. (Kelly and Terri will be jealous).
Portrait by Malcolm Liepke |
There was truly some wonderful art here...some of the best I've ever seen. And also, if you get the chance to meet another blogger/flyer, do so. Could you not find anyone more like you? I had remembered reading on Valerie's blog that she went to this last time and contacted her. We both live outside LA and not close to each other, but what a great way to meet.

That looks like such a fun way to spend the day! I can not imagine moving all those broken plates... very interesting. I love the old tape measures! How fun that you ran into Valerie... that is wonderful! :)
how fun to run into a fellow flyer~Valerie! and I HAVE to look up that artist...Liepke...oh my gosh.
Oh my! I love the art!!! Malcolm Liepke I have never heard of him. I will have to check him out. Your art is beautiful.
It is always nice to meet another flyers
Wow, the dishwashers were very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Oh Diana- what a treat to see you and talk "art". Thanks for the picture- and the inspiration! Your blog is so fun to read~ what a nice memory of the fabulous art we saw there.
I have to laugh- the dishwashers, microwaves and broken dishes.... we have the exact same microwave in that piece... so my husband was trying to figure out if we could "borrow" a handle to replace ours. We had a lot of laughs thinking about how that one was made- hormonal wife~~ a non-"honeydo" husband... etc. Isn't art just the best!!! Hope to meet up again soon. Happy painting!
I screamed out loud Diana!! Oh, I am so jealous!! I saw a print of his in Laguna...but oh, you lucky lady! Those brush strokes...tell me, they are incredible, aren't they??
So I've spent my whole day (when not cooking) painting a wet on wet ballet portrait...not going to well, ha-ha. but it's good practice.
Malcome is amazing and you are so lucky. Thank you for getting a great close up...I can almost see the brush strokes...the colors...amazing...i'm.in.dreamland.
So..I was sitting here casually chewing on some almonds while checking my blog..when all of a sudden I head over to find you had actually stood in the presence of an original MALCOLM LIEPKE! Diana..girl I truly nearly choked! Good Gracious Alive! And YES I'm j.e.a.l.o.u.s. Dear Gussie what I wouldn't have given to have had that type opportunity!
You cracked me up about becoming my "Agent". :)) Don't say it outloud again or I might take you up on it. You'll walk out to your porch one morning to find a huge box filled with all my canvases. Then you'll have yourself a job.
$15,000....I was floored! Hey, if you think you could get half that for anything I've created ~ I'd go 50~50 profit share with you! :)))
Thanks for the gift of laughter tonight. I've sure needed it lately! P.S. Great that you were able to hook up with Valerie! Maybe one day you, Kelly and I will find ourselves standing in each other's company.
Oh my goodness what a great art show Diana! And I am a big fan of figurative art. And I see that it is the other Valerie that you connected with! Yay! Wish I could have joined you both too!
Blessings,
xoxo Valerie
