Beekman Street - Saratoga

I visited my favorite galleries on Beekman Street in Saratoga  today. What amazing artwork!  At Mimosa Gallery, Gary Larsen (photography,) and Anne Larsen (painting,) had work on display. Many other artists were represented, with unusual and clever styles. Most were on sale, with partial contributions to  a fundraiser for Boys and Girls Clubs. Love it!!! I also visited 70 Beekman Street Gallery, where the graceful owner Mary, always greets with a smile, and conversation to please. Her gallery specializes in Oriental art, along with regional artists. She and her husband are trained opera singers, and are beautiful singers and gracious hosts. They know how to entertain. They have a piano right on the floor of their gallery. Beekman Street Studios was lively, with the artists themselves  in many conversations. They have a good time together!

Sow's Ear Studio and Gallery March / April Show and the "KING OF SIAM"

The print "King of Siam" will make its debut in an upcoming juried art show, hosted by the Sows Ear Studio and Gallery, March 18th, - April 28th, 2011.  King  needs to be seen personally, to appreciate the detail and color... but I will tell the short story of this print.  This Siamese cat  lives on Farmer Emils farm, which is right behind the Palatine Bridge Church, West on Rte 5.  Emil lets me photograph all over the farm , now that he has gotten used to me. (or visa - versa.)  Anyway, I walked out of his  barn, and this beauty just sat still and stared at me from his comfortable position - a little King on the farm! I think  Emil would be proud.  Can't wait for the buffalo to start roaming  on the farm Emil, OK??? I need BUFFALO shots... How cool would that be???
