Jerry Belland's work caught this visitor's eye
The annual rite of Spring opened the doors of artists' studios at the Racine Business Center -- giving artists a chance to show off their newest work and art lovers a reason to think about redecorating. Dale's Upstairs Gallery and Gallerie G were also open.
More than a dozen artists were on hand Saturday to talk about their work, meet old friends and -- hopefully -- sell a piece or two to finance their future efforts. Here's a sampling of what we saw as we traipsed from studio to studio, talking to the artists as we wandered.
Maureen Fritchen displayed large abstract murals, and found-object assemblages.
The one on the table used stuff found at Habitat's Re-Store
A dot here, a dot there... and Daniel Fortney's paintings came to life

From Racine to New Orleans and back: Roberta Williams returned to her roots
after Hurricane Katrina, displaying pendants, jewelry and collages
made in her new studio here.

The brass pitcher and red platter on his worktable are finding their way into a painting
-- as Greg Helding sketches his next move. You can see the finished painting
at next year's show, he says, "if it hasn't sold before then!"
Didn't see this post on the main page. Did I over look it?

ReplyDeleteNice stuff. Too bad nobody in this town can afford to buy any of it.
