Premier Night at Art-A-Fair 2016 - Loretta Alvarado

There's Gold in Them Thar Hills…

I am currently showing my work at the Art-A-Fair Festival in Laguna Beach, California. The show will be ending in just a couple more weeks so I wanted to be sure and let you know about two upcoming events.

On Saturday, August 13th is the big 50th anniversary party. If you missed our Preview Night party, then here's your chance to attend this party.

And, on Saturday, August 20 from 1pm to 3pm, the Art-A-Fair Foundation will be hosting an Ice Cream Social to honor our two student artist scholarship winners, Justin Huitema and Deanna Shontere. Come out and show your support for these future artists.

If you want some free VIP passes to attend the show, please send an email to: retta@LorettaAlvarado.com
Work is progressing on the View of the Lake piece.I have been posting my progress on my Facebook page. You can go there if you want to see all the work-in-progress photos. I started this piece on July 17. The houses are taking a long time since there are so many little details and I have to keep changing thread colors. And I am really happy with the way this is turning out.

Sometimes things just don’t work out the way we planned. I had all these grandiose ideas about how I was going to complete the Catalina Island piece by the end of July. I got it to a certain point and then I stalled.
 
I just wasn’t feeling it. I don’t know why. And, I have found that when I get to a place like this, it is best to just step back from the art. So, I rolled it up and stuffed it in a corner of my studio.
 
But, that doesn’t mean I have given up. I’ll get back to it eventually. For now, I am moving on to something else.

I’m calling this new one “The View from My Favorite Restaurant.” (It’s Peppino’s at Lake Mission Viejo in case you’re wondering.) I took my best friend out for dinner here when she was visiting in June. We just sat out on the patio and watched all these little sailboats going by. I think they were having a sailing class. Then it dawned on me, I should be taking pictures. Duh! I got several good ones. The one above is the one I am working from.
