HUNTERS POINT SF OPEN STUDIOS
TOMORROW AND SUNDAY (NOV 9 & 10)
FROM 11 AM TO 6 PM

I'M IN BUILDING 101 STUDIO 1201 

Following my pics below I provide links to and information about:
  • a list of participating artists with samples of their work
  • info about FAMILY ART DAY Saturday November 9
  • info about the collective exhibition closing on Sunday November 10
  • details about the art auctions on Saturday and Sunday at Hunters Point
  • directions to Islais Creek and Hunters Point Shipyard studios
  • a map of every studio location
  • the shuttle bus schedule for Saturday November 9 
  • food vendors this weekend
  • a link to my business website that has nothing to do with my art
MY PAINTINGS WILL BE 50% OFF THIS WEEKEND
This is a guilt sale because I don't have much new work except gourds which are so labor intensive that they took up most of my painting time. I'm going to take a break from painting  gourds for a while to focus on paintings so if you have wanted a gourd, now is the time.
GOURDS ARE FULL PRICE


The following are studio pics which show some of my available work .......
Susie, I still have the yellow heart.


The following are available but live in my home until someone wants them. Last Open Studios I brought them all in but this time my knees balked.


Following is a glimpse of Peggy Huff's work, she is my studio mate.


Following are pics from customers of last spring's open studios showing works of mine that they purchased.

DIRECTIONS TO ISLAIS CREEK & HUNTERS POINT SHIPYARD

THE WAY I GET TO MY  HUNTERS POINT STUDIO IS
  1. 3rd St North
  2. Right on Evans
  3. Drive until the street ends
  4. Go left
FLESHING IT OUT: Evans turns into Hunters Point which turns into Innes which is the street that ends. At this point you will see a construction fence with 'HUNTERS POINT' banners. The left is on to Donahue which can only bring you to the shipyard. Don't get creative and take a right on Innes from 3rd, it is not safe and does not go through.
