I'll get to what we're showing at Clayton's, and State Theatre. Printmaking is our theme at State Theatre, with Tricia Spenker, Elizabeth Ingebretsen, Rose Sturgill, me, with Adrian Mendoza photography printed on tapestry, and more, with Steve Kenworthy our Music guest, celtic and blues, but here is some more art walk news.

email note from Act of Kindness,
Thursday, Aug. 21st is the 3rd Thursday Modesto Art Walk. We hope you will join us and meet Reverend Erin King who has created the mandala art in our gallery. Erin will explain all about mandalas for you who are interested in this fascinating work. Of course we will have goodies and art walk maps too. It's a fun thing to do, from 5-9pm. Oh the best thing. . . ITS FREE! Hope to see you. No Sales Tax night.

Likely these are workshops I need to take, camera inept as I am. jim

For Motown Mojo and his Modestofamous.com photographer group, and others who need to learn more about photography, from one of my favorite stops on the Third Thursday Art Walk, or anytime they're open during the month.

Hot enough for everyone, or too hot..... well, almost a dip in art walk patrons by the places I was, but hardy crowd that were out, in a pretty good mood, in for the air conditioning, and glad they came out. If you missed the State Show last night, you missed nice use of the stage, bombshell by Pauline and some Keena Wells framing Modesto Bass, some screwups from our first century degree weather, as some additional music on the streets, had Joelle Maddyson make a quick sound check appearance, always good to see her, sad to see her have to leave for the un air conditioned spot on the Street, but music out there on Photographers Gallery corner, and seemed a good crowd for Young Masters show there. I was in our own hot water, as Pauline's MJC photo project, involved the male nude figure, and had these award shots from her classes and shown there, and having to try and explain also, the spot she was in, should be the featured stage spot to see Solo Bass in action, and... they were up, people enjoyed the work, even scary works, which we note Peter Kanestrom sold four, and too hot in the other corner of the top of theatre, David Morgan moved down, we had a great and hot art demo by David Bienkowsky, some good work by Jack McBride, and got a call from Bob Shootenpics Nelson, game gone on, got stuck on assignment, so we redid the show mid art walk, to fill some easels, as for some, health in jeopardy to come out in the heat, and some disorganization as art walk returned to 5 p.m. start in most venues, and good night for me, with first little works sale over at Clayton's, where Keena chillin' as host, working on a new work, as he's sold three recently from the crayon series, as we did blues, music theme, with that Dream Girls painting of Keena's that barely fits in the car, a small Jack Morris Robben Ford, likely involved in a trade to attend Chris Cain on Saturday. Music, well we must have invited Randy Marshall on solo bass, as he was first to buy one of Peter's black and white originals, so you get how this ties in to bass with art....... he wished his part of the bay area doing an event like ours. Penny Meyer had her Carl Robinson painting finished with the varnish on, Judith Cochran a couple of her collages after her first Blue Monday drawing session, and I got talked to on a blues band commission for a friend who has my art on her refrigerator door, so all in all a good night, and still made it to chat with Penny, Sandy, and Christine and Lorena over at DEVA at the after party, found out Steve Kenworthy had come down to Crow Trading but not the State, where I had my framed slam on rye, and portrait of Steve playing his Wednesday gig at P. Wexford's ready to hand out. So, music on the sidewalks, artists, some did pretty well, crowd unable to leave for the air conditioning, with the what they wanted to see, hang out with, so another monthly success on a very hot night. Me, it was too hot in the house, so wrote up the column for Chris Murphy, ever in evidence with the camera while I forgot to bring mine with me. Read the June Modesto View issue, see if the heat got to me, on the wordy side of art.

Here's one for photographers. One who attended our April Art and Music show in our last art blog, already up to apply for this one. For samples of that show, see www.myspace.com/modestoartx and look in the April 24 album, and click on the photographer's gallery profile in our friends list, and other art walk buddies there.
