SUGARHOUSE ART WALK

The very day I was moving into my new studio, my friend Chad Davis told me that I should participate in the Sugar House Art Walk that night! So, my husband, Craig, and I scurried like crazy to arrange furniture, vacuum, make refreshments, paint signs and most importantly, hang paintings. At the very moment our first few people walked in, I was just setting up the refreshment table! Whew! It was a fun event and we met great people that night. Thanks to everyone who came. Ree Art Studio will be a regular destination point for the Sugar House Art Walk. 

These past two weeks have been busy, busy, busy as my husband and I have been working to get Ree's painting pARTies  up and running. We have moved into my larger studio space at Ree Art Studio. We bought new tables and comfortable chairs to accommodate 30 people.  We've ordered canvases, new brushes and quarts of paint. I've been working on art party motifs that I hope people will want to paint, such as the three examples below. We've updated www.renonkhulet.com with three new pages about Ree's painting pARTties. All of this has been exciting. We hope the buzz will begin on this fun adventure in art.

The purpose of an art show. Art and looking at art.

As I said on my home page, artists don't have "recitals" like performing arts students enjoy. Thus, on Feb. 28, 2014, my students had their first annual "art recital." While the students showed off their art on the walls, Esme and Dalloway Smith were gracious enough to provide the chamber music. This is Esme on the violin. The photo below is of Dalloway on the cello. They were a delightful addition to a wonderful evening. 

The following pictures are of students and family and friends enjoying the art, eating lovely refreshments and having a great evening together. I am so proud of my students and their dedication to learning and growing in their artistic endeavors. I hope they all know of the esteem I have for them and my gratitude for their enduring loyalty and friendship.

My nutty brother, John, photo bombing Judith Nielson and me. By the way. This evening would not have happened without Judith's help hanging the paintings and otherwise helping me spruce up the studio. Thanks so much to her. This is what great frineds are all about.
