My Favorite Time of Year & the Weaverville Art Safari

Posted on by

It’s that time of year. Time to enjoy all the fall colors and Art From the Heart of the
Blue Ridge. The Weaverville Arts Safari is now less than two weeks away, on Sat., the 24th and Sun., the 25th from 10am-5pm both days. Be sure to arrive early for the Safari Half Price Specials.

For this tour, two pieces from my new Tattoo series will be unveiled! Also, brand new Mason Jars and County Kitchens plus four new ‘Summer Bundle’ medicine bundles.

This year my white-on-white “sketches” are presented in beautiful white floating frames. They are $100. There are only six so be sure to get to the studio early!

There’s a whole lot more, and you’ll just have to visit to find out what I’ve been up to. C’mon y’all and all y’all.

I’m #4 on the map, which can be downloaded here: http://weavervilleartsafari.com/public/docs/web_brochure_2015_fall.pdf

Rhythm of Color

Posted on by

The Asheville Airport Art Gallery has just installed eight of my paper sculptures. This is a repeat opportunity for me to exhibit in this small, but significant venue. Gallerists talk about foot traffic being an important measure of a successful gallery. This gallery is placed so that everyone walks past to board flights or to get their luggage on the way out. As I read it, that’s 100%.

Since my moniker is leothecolorman, the work seemed to fit their theme, “Rhythm of Color.” These three pieces are typical of my bashful use of color. Here they are.

The Big Liar

The Big Liar

The Big Liar comes from a series of flies done for the Museum of Idaho.
I wrote a Haiku for each of them.

The catch of my life!
It grows larger by the hour.
My friends avoid me.

Git thee to the airport. Fly somewhere then come back for your belongings…You will walk past the gallery. Go meet flights just for the fun of it and wander into the show. Have you ever been to the Asheville Airport Art Gallery? What are your thoughts about art in the airport?

Thanks for visiting me.
