"Awaiting Interpretation"

Alex Ward and his newest painting, "Awaiting Interpretation", is displayed at Studio de Michel until September 23, 2008. The Last Friday Opening reception on September 29, was well attended by artists, community, friends and family. The featured artist for October will be Michael Anderson from Belleville IL.

August Exhibit Installed

It's early morning and I just finished with the installation of August's exhibit. Working all night makes me tired, but happy that it's all done. A few details left and, hopefully, a little concentration will be left to finish those. Something new for Studio de Michel is handcrafted jewelry by Julie West and Keith Hible. Our featured artist this month is James F. Wilson. Along with him, we will have Pamela Wickard, Suzie Cooper, Adrienne Rosen and Jack Tandy from St Louis. Tonight's opening will feature guitarist Josh Hinkebein and a few of our new artists. Also, well represented again this month is the Ste Genevieve Art Guild by Juanita Wyman, Iris Vincent, Mary Ann Roth, Betty Joggerst, Matthew Fels, Lulu, Jacque Brillos, Anita Alsup, Pat Ferguson, Jane Naeger and Cloice Lindewedel. Returning, also, is Barbara Olson and Mary Peura.

Good morning and thoughts

This good morning begins with last night.

My Galerie de Artś exhibit is scheduled to open each last Friday of the month. Last night was the last Friday of June.

Artists new to the exhibition are Lulu, Barbara Olson and Nikita Wors. I cannot describe their modern art, but their influence in the exhibition and on my Studio is dramatic.

New work by artists Jacque Brillos, Matt Fels, Juanita Wyman, Iris Vincent and Mary Ann Roth were added to compliment the continuing exhibit of art by Jane Naeger, Cloice Linwedel, Pat Ferguson, Anita Alsup, Sara Best and Betty Joggerst. Many of these artists, along with Ali Cavanaugh and Karen Kulberg, spent most of the evening sipping wine, playing with children and talking art. Friends Richard Ellis and Arveda joined the artists and video taped portions of the evening. Others who stopped in were Bonnie Samuelson, Sam Conlon, Marjori Jokerst, Ken Kulberg, Carol (Bruceś Carol), Cathy Braun and Mary Peura.

Thoughts: These expressions of personal art which surround me, influence me.
