White Rock Studio Art Tour


The White Rock Studio Art Tour (click on the logo for their website) is a group of about 45 artists that open up their personal studios to the public for the weekend and let you traipse around through their backyards, studios, etc. to see their art.

My mom has been raving about this art tour for a few years, and it is this weekend! It looks like it is even free!

I have heard great things about all of the interesting artwork and really, really cool backyards that you get to see.

My mom and I are going to go either Saturday or Sunday or both this weekend.

I have been thinking for a long time that I would like to do some kind of art. I've done the music thing (majored in music in college). I have crocheted and made some pretty cool blankets. But now I am thinking I would like to paint...or make sculptures out of something weird...or....or...or. The possibilities are endless! So I can't wait to see other people's cool art so that maybe I can get an idea of what my art form will be.

A couple of years ago, Chris and I went to Taos, NM for our anniversary. While we were there, we went through all of the art studios downtown, and we saw the coolest painting ever! We both instantly loved it and thought it would be perfect for our house. Too bad it was like $1000 or we would have bought it. But ever since then, I have been thinking that I could create something kind of like that. It wouldn't be nearly as cool probably, but I would like to take a stab at it. So, we'll see! Someday I just might be in the Studio Art Tour too!
