Open Studios Week 4, Day 2

The Shadow got out into the sunshine today to see more artists during Week 4 of Open Studios.  Unfortunately there were no signs to greet us, but there were plenty of grateful artists who welcomed our visit.

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

Some of the works seen by The Shadow today

Open Studios 2008 has proven to be the perfect companion to the gorgeous weather that has blessed San Francisco during the past four weeks.  Most of the artists that we spoke to today noted to us that they had seen more people today than the entire weekend.  And with the art that is being shown in Week 4, we can definitely see why.

The Shadow was able to see old friends and make new ones during his travels this weekend.  Every artist had a story to tell and had new work that they wanted The Shadow to notice.  It was noticed and very much appreciated -- there was a lot of good work out there!
