Get art walk maps today at the Modesto Blues Festival, and look for the drink specials, food specials, sales tax special and all the venues for this Thursday's Downtown Modesto Third Thursday Art Walk, where, like at Farmer's Market this morning, where Keena Wells and I will have maps, these flyers, and art for sale, you can get this stuff from us, and we do sell art on the art walk, most all the artists want to.

modesto blues festival and United Community Walk, is June 14, 2008

10 am walk

If you see this one on stage, it is also available for purchase, though has been noticed by friend from the front porch.  We have an art venue, so check it out, and we may have Neal who Paints on Stage, and for sure local artist Penny Meyer be out doing oil painting demo, doing a painting from photos of Robben Ford who played earlier this year in Modesto

You can start your art walk with Clayton's, DEVA, Queen Bean, and end up there, or the After Art Walk Party at DEVA, with visual treats from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. A lot of good art, and art is for sale, see Efren's blog, and also his article in Riverbank's Rio Arts newsletter.

Lori Snable's work won best of show, and I've seen it, was my favorite among entries as I walked in, but may be subject to People's Choice award, in case you hit voting spot at Mistlin's Gala tonight for Spring Show, or during show run. Kate Jackson won category where I'm in with two.

I've been framing pics today, for the Visually Impaired Persons Support Center show tomorrow, 9 am to 4 pm, had this sale to partner of one rejected from Spring Show, took the two back from last show, took in the three for Sping Show, tired of art I decided to take a break, see a real show, with art by Angry F on the walls. I'm working on my follow up to my letter to the editor of the Modesto Bee yesterday of the idea of that train and hwy 33 overpass into that park in Patterson in front of City Hall, like Bambi meets Godzilla and how to draw that one out..... so was ready from some time at DEVA. compare my shots to Efren J's.
