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 |
