Another great weekend at East Side Studios Tours. Lots of folks and good food provided by Nubian Queen Lola with crawfish gumbo and red beans and rice both served with freshly made cornbread. Hmm Good !

Broke down our display and dumped everything in the house. This morning we hung a joint show of paintings and photography at Scooter's Coffeehouse, 9225 West Parmer Lane. Our work will be here for two months.

East Tour-day 1

Wow what a day....this Saturday was the start of the extended two weekend happening, East Austin Studio Tours. After two days of cleaning up the warehouse, bringing in display setups and lighting, we finally were ready to bring out the artwork. Hanging late into Friday evening and then we were ready. Saturday started out a little slow in the morning but that gave us time to visit and have breakfast. By 11 am the crowd had arrived and continued til 5:30 pm. A special treat was having Nubian Queen Lola arrive to offer cajun gumbo and crawfish for lunch. Tito's vodka joined us this weekend for the opening celebration.
Fun, art, music and good conversation all available for our visitors.
