“Home of the Purple Martin.” Over the several days it took me to draw this, I met a bobcat, a couple of rare desert purple martins, and a bird expert to tell me about them. Turns out my favorite wonky saguaro is a nesting site for a rare migrating swallow which flies in from Brazil to spend summers in saguaro hollows. And in case you missed it, I’ve been posting daily videos of my morning art outings in my stories (one included here as a sample). #tucsonartist Some of my favorite photos from last Saturday’s open studios, aka the Eve & Alan show. It was so good! We (@alan.tasky and I) will be in the studio again 6-9 tonight (6/13) if you missed it - and the @fpctucson show will be open at Untitled Gallery next door. Photos by the marvelous @live.forschung, who knows how to photograph the best in everyone. #tucsonartist The magnificent Em(ily) is coming to Tucson from Phoenix to teach a mask-making workshop! She’s a powerhouse creative person, fantastic cello player, and a dear, dear friend. Don’t miss it; I’ll be there! 🎭🥳 Limited spots! Hope you can make it! I’m loving putting this together; the only challenge is making sure the class doesn’t run over two hours 😁 It’s happening! @alan.tasky and I are opening our studio doors for the June ArtWalk - so you’ll be able to see not only our art, but also the art of our neighbors at @steinfeldgalleryandstudios next door! And if you stop by after 6, you can make it a night and catch the opening of @fpctucson’s Femme Perspectives show at Untitled Gallery proper. This Saturday 6/6, 4-8, 101 W 6th St Ste #121, Tucson, AZ 85701. #tucsonart #tucsonartist #artwalk "The Two of Us". There's an office building I often pass on my way into town, with glass walls angled so that you get a perfect reflection of the saguaro below. I just had to draw it - how often do you get to see a saguaro from above? An impromptu open studio! Today, 12-2, the back room studio of Untitled Gallery. 101 W 6th St Ste #121, Tucson, AZ 85701. You can see my saguaro scroll (turns out it’s actually 15 feet!), @alan.tasky’s lightbulb-themed installation featuring one of my drawings, and much more. Something different: tape and pastel! A couple weeks ago, I had a particularly unsuccessful drawing session (not pictured). Just about the only thing I liked in the drawing was what my orange pastel looked like over the little bit of blue painter's tape I was using to keep the paper from blowing away... Which... gave me an idea! I absolutely loved the sensation of "sculpting" with the tape before drawing over it. The technique almost recreates, in pastel, the bumpy and unexpected texture of oils that I love so much. And you can just peel parts off if the piece gets too busy! As always, an unsuccessful artwork is only a stepping stone to new discoveries. "Reconciliation." A year ago, this twisted and divided saguaro was fighting itself (image 2). Today, it's giving itself flowers.
