Newton Open Studios 2013

Dioguardi c2013, Moka Pot Moments and Richard Olken's Life Imitates Art?

Newton Open Studios is happening next weekend, April 6th and 7th from 11-5 PM. Fans of NOS will notice that the date was moved to April, much earlier than our previous ten year of dates. There is a good reason for this new date; our visitors wanted it this way. That's good enough reason for me too.

May has become the month of much to do...weddings, graduations, more open studios, children's sports practice weekends, Mother's Day, Memorial Day parade, House tours and more. Newton Open Studios listened to our visitors who told us they would love to attend but that May was difficult. So, we moved our event out front to the fist weekend in April leading the season.  So start your Spring with sprucing up your house. There is nothing like a little art from the heart to make a house a home.(Hey, it rhymes!)

I am showing at Art In the Villa with Gene Mackles, Will Kirkpatrick and the dazzling glass art of Sidney Hutter. Everyone is welcomed to this special venue where the art is on the walls and through the historic home as we as artist intended our art to be seen. Enjoy in the rain or shine.

So,by now you might have noticed the two images above have some similarities...the photograph was sent to me by Richard Olken in response to my Newton Open Studios post card image. "Life imitates art or is it the other way around?" he asks. I loved this photo and so I wanted to share the smile with you. Grazie, Richard !
