It is our annual Art Deco festival here this week where we travel back in time to an era of glitz and glamour. Everyone dresses in the styles of the 1920s and 30s. Last year I saw this Chihuahua all dressed up with her big gold bow...she was so cute and such a poser, I couldn't help myself, I had to take a photo so I could paint her for this years celebrations!!
An older couple out strolling during Art Deco week... I liked that they were both dressed in cream!! Thousands of people from all over the world come here and dress up to celebrate the 20s and 30s. The festival runs for a week every February with hundreds of events. Pretty much something for everyone!! The color is not so good in this one, it looks better in real life!
My last painting for the Art and Olive Festival! I am disappointed with this image, for some reason it changes when I upload it to my blog, I have no idea why, it looks fine in my photo program! I have tried so many times but failed to get it to look any better!!!
I am almost finished with olive paintings for a while!! I think the setting up takes just about as long as the painting! These are for the Art in the Olives Festival at Telegraph Hill in November, I am going on holiday about a weeks time so have to finish them before I go... whew!!!! Just blocked in a landscape of the olive grove then I'm done!! Should be a fun day with fantastic food!
