Open Studios Week 4, Day 1

The Shadow was able to get out yesterday into the warm sun of San Francisco to visit several artists during their Open Studios today.  At one studio, we were even met by a very welcoming character!

Some of the works seen by The Shadow yesterday

This weekend offered a unique view of some of the more advanced mediums that artists are using, (e.g. caustic paintings, metal workings).  It was exciting to see and to see the eyes of each artist as they took the time to explain their works and techniques with The Shadow.  You definitely want to get out this weekend, meet with the artists and see their offerings.

If you have not been out to an Open Studio yet, this is the weekend to do it.  The weather promises to cooperate today so you have no excuse not to get out.  A map of the studios open today is available here.  Studios will be open until 6:00 p.m. tonight.

More pictures from yesterday are available here.
