Art & Wine Fests in California

Submitted by Nanners on Thu, 09/02/2010 - 07:13

Our first show this trip was in Bodega, CA and it was really something! Located just outside of the town where the classic thriller "The Birds" was filmed, we were always looking out for killer birds, ;-o There were tons of people (no birds) and Saturday was very windy, so all in all it was a challenging but great show.

Labor Day Weekend we'll be in Historic Truckee. Last year this was a great show for us and we're getting ready for another busy weekend.

Hope to see you there.

Off to California for Art & Wine Festivals

Submitted by Nanners on Wed, 08/25/2010 - 14:14

Last weekend was our last art fest in Washington state this summer season. Now we head out to California for 9 or 10, or more :o), Art and Wine Festivals. The weather looks fantastic to me - should be north of 75 degrees the entire 10 weeks.

While we're on the road, Timmy will continue to create new paintings, so keep an eye on the "New Works" page of the website. He often will set up his easel right at a show, other times he'll wonder down to the beach near Santa Cruz or the docks of Sausalito, and create a fresh new painting while soaking up the surrounding beauty. And we can always ship directly to you no matter where we are.

And if your travels send you into Northern California, check out our "Calendar" page - and maybe drop by a show to say "Hi."

Hope to see you soon - N&T

Our Last Washington State Summer Art Festival

Submitted by Nanners on Fri, 08/20/2010 - 08:12

It's been a great summer. We've been to Leavenworth, Olympia, Anacortes, Langley, and all points in between. It's been 17 fun shows in all.

Timmy has been creating new originals, and you've been snapping them up as soon as he finishes them. He even had time to issue 2 new Limited Edition prints and giclees, "Sailors' Dream" and "Go Fish," which are so popular - we're working hard to keep up with all the orders for them.

And this upcoming weekend, August 21-22, 2010, is our last summer festival in Washington state. The Fresh Paint Festival of Artists at Work will be held along the Everett Marina waterfront on Saturday and Sunday, 10am - 5pm. Our space is near the Anthony's Restaurant (yum!), space #8.

Hope to see you there!

Bellevue Theft

Well, we had a great time at the Bellevue show. But such was not the case for a friend of ours. Some lowlife STOLE one of her original paintings under cover of night!

Crazy For A Day by Nancy Eckels - STOLEN!!!!!

Image

THIS PAINTING HAS BEEN STOLEN!!
Someone came by my booth at an art festival this past weekend in Bellevue, Wa. and decided that they wanted this painting without paying for it. Even though there were other large, more accessible paintings that could have been taken for resale, somehow they managed to avoid security and get this large 4 foot by 6 foot painting out of my booth in the middle of the night. I can't believe someone would hang something on their wall that they stole from the artist, but it takes all kinds. I probably will never see the painting again, but I'm going to put this photo in as many places as I can. It will, at least, make me feel better. IF YOU SEE THE PAINTING, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. IT'S PROBABLY STILL IN THE SEATTLE/BELLEVUE AREA.
