Mango Madness
Every June The Studios of Key West has a show in their main gallery that highlights the talents of its artist members and celebrates the start of mango season here in Key West. The title of the show is, of course, Mango Madness.To add some extra fun to the prep for this show two other TSKW members, David Meier and Pam Hobbs, joined me in my studio to paint together for the show.
When David presented this idea to Pam and I we said, "Yeah! For Sure."
It turned out to be a great day of painting.
Painting is often a very solitary endeavor, so this was a delight
Finished paintings
I haven't seen David's finished painting yet, but here are mine and Pam's. And all I can say is, Were we even in the same room?"
