The art opening last night at Art Tradition Gallery in Escondido was a fun one! The theme of this season’s show is “California: Coast to Desert,” so my recent paintings of redwood trees fit in perfectly. You can see my 2 large forest pieces displayed among the other artwork here:

During this month’s Art Walk, there was also a “Pinup” theme. All the ladies were encouraged to dress up as pinup models, so I thought, “Why not?” Here’s me in a Bettie Page inspired dress borrowed from a fashionista friend of mine:

Escondido’s Cruisin’ Grand took place during the Art Walk, in which classic car aficionados bring their beautiful restored cars to show off all up and down Grand Ave.

And–clearly the silliest part of the evening–I took part in this lineup of ladies in their glamorous pinup attire out in front of Distinction Gallery. (I’m the one in black. To the left of me is my friend Elena: black and white polka dots, and to the right, my friend and fellow painter Kotinca: pink ruffles.) Fun!
