“Off the Wall” Art Show in Riverside
Me with one of the "dwellings" paintings I submitted to the "Off the Wall" show in Riverside
Tonight I went to the “Off the wall” Artist reception/show in Riverside. The art filled two galleries, pretty much from floor to ceiling… well, at least 10 feet high. It was really interesting. Some of it was fabulous, but some of it was not. Enough said about that.
Two of my friends, Richard Manookin and Serena Potter, exhibited their art too. It was fun to see their work. I didn’t see them, though.
My beautiful wife, Christina, was kind enough to accompany me, so it was a mini-date night.
Three of my paintings are hung on this wall. Can you spot them?
After the show we walked outside to the car and there was a band playing in front of a local church. It was fun to stand and listen to them for a little while.
It reminded me of living in Honolulu, where on the weekends, you could wander the streets and hear bands and see performances here and there. I miss that part of living in a large town that supports the arts. I love the mountain town I live in, don’t get me wrong, but large, thriving cities have a lot to offer.
Art Walk Thursdays are a great date night, though my girls really like looking at the art and hearing the local bands play as well. The Coffee Depot – in the old train station is a good place for cocoa and munchies too – kick back on a comfy couch near the fire place….
Here is another Lake Arrowhead artist you will run into and should get to know http://www.batman-koplin.com/ Helga is in her 70’s – German lady – she is a fantastic artist and teaches classes in Sky Forest.
