Every good journey should begin with a dinosaur. Yes, dear readers, dinosaurs do inhabit our island. Its a little known secret. Alas, we have droves of carnivorous hummingbirds that strip all the flesh from them and leave their skeletons scattered throughout the island.![]() |
We have the BEST clouds here!![]() |
And even cooler when you strip the color.![]() |
Apologies on the reflections. I tried many angles and this was the best I could do.
This is one of the Dorseys. I failed to write down which one to attribute to each painting. What I know is that this entire family is immensely talented.![]() |
Another one from the Dorsey’s. I fell in love with the tree in this painting. He did such a wonderful job on the shadows in it.![]() |
And this one was just lovely!![]() |
Upstairs was the work of Ann Cory. I fell in love with her eagle. Alas, I can’t afford it. ![]() |
This one has a bit of a Vincent feel to it, doesn’t it? I fell in love with it as well.![]() |
This was a tree outside on the next property for Betty Dorotik’s Studio and home. I couldn’t resist the tire swing!![]() |
One of nature’s contributions. ![]() |
The gate flamingo!![]() |
And my lovely sidekick Margie!![]() |
This is a tree stump Betty has in her garden. It looks like there is a nest on the top of it.![]() |
Yard and porch art. How fun!![]() |
And she has her own swing in her garden. I need to figure out how to do one in mine. Course, that probably means growing a couple of bigger trees.![]() |
The view from her back porch.![]() |
Back of her house from the garden. Such a lovely home!![]() |
This is one of her owl paintings that I fell in love with. Amazing talent!![]() |
Gotta love the ravens and their shinies![]() |
Another one of her pieces that took my breath away. Such a majestic hawk!![]() |
Margie venturing into her tool shed.![]() |
Sitting right inside the shelf inside the shed.![]() |
Love the handle!![]() |
More of her garden art. Gorgeous statue.![]() |
The trees are watching you!![]() |
And a watcher from above.![]() |
And this is the work of Susan Cohen Thompson. Her work has a touch of magic to it. And I think she has been featured in a number of magical magazines if I am not mistaken.![]() |
Garden art again. Must be something about artists and their gardens.![]() |
![]() |
BRUSHES!!!!![]() |
I am going to take a chance that I have the artist correct on this as I don’t seem to have a card. Roger Cocke. He also belongs to the brushes above. ![]() |
And this piece I would so have loved to have brought home with me. I fell in love with the colors in the clay. He explained to me how he does it. But, I don’t remember. Probably because I was just smitten wit the face.![]() |
And as we were leaving, Margie pointed out the glasswork on the door next door. It is some pretty impressive glasswork!![]() |
And that was the end of day one. We had actually visited quite a few others, but I didn’t have my camera when we were at the Terry’s Corner displays and some of the artists didn’t want their work photographed. |
And since I still can’t figure out how to get SmugMug to work in here, I will just add the link to the gallery for anyone that wants to see all the pictures. SMUG MUG GALLERY OF CAMANO ISLAND STUDIO TOUR 2017 |
