It's just around the corner -- over 25 artists, including me, will open their doors to visitors and buyers in the historic Alameda area of the North Valley of Albuquerque, from 10-5 each day. There will also be a preview with one piece by each artist on Oct. 7 from 4-7 -- with music and food and drink and the artists at 834 Alameda Blvd. -- for full information, including a list of the participating artists and a map to the studios, see the tour website at www.alamedastudiotour.com
I recently donated this painting to an art auction benefitting Globalquerque, a world music festival in Albuquerque. The painting didn't sell, but now hangs happily in my mother's house.
