La Quinta Arts Festival 2014

Time again to celebrate the beginnings of the Tom Barnes Fine Art, LLC launch onto the national art scene. In 2002, Glen Cole and I drove across the Overland Pass in a blizzard to reach sunny California and the La Quinta Arts Festival. Every year since I have made it back out for the show and have been amazed and humbled by the response. I have made fast freinds there and each year look forward to returning to that beautiful scene. This year Tyler is going with so I am especially looking forward to the 80-hour van drive there and back. Gail's taking care of the homeland and keeping the home fires burning. What would I do without her constant vigilance on my diet, my rest, my mental stability and my creature comforts? The Zolberts, the Seifferts, and the Duncans are all joining us for dinner the last night of the show so a raucus reunion is in the offing. And I am packing 40+ Ladies for the journey. May they all find a home! Here's a sneek peek at the show... Enjoy!

Am dropping by Atlanta to deliver a 7' x 4' canvas of Five Ladies... I won't know their names til I get there; the Mclamars have chosen whoat to call each of them based on their study of personalities!

New Pieces Out There in the World!

So, the process is in motion. Rob Harris of DE Fine Art collected 10 pieces this weekend to take on his travels into Florida. Several galleries will be touted with the Ladies... St. Augustine, Ft LAuderdale, West Palm, Key West, Naples to name a few. We'll see... and now for a look-see at the new pieces that are now thrown into the National Gallery Market Place, may they all sell! An update on the California Galleries: Carmel, Laguna Beach, and San Diego are showing the Ladies with pride.
