It should be more than obvious and come as no surprise at all, that one of my greatest passions in life is art. It is something I took an interest to early in life, thanks to my father who is an amazing oil painter (and artist in general). One of the things I have been hearing about, that I would love to be able to attend is the St. Augustine Artwalk. Really, what better place to hold such an event on the first weekend of every month, than in America's oldest city, which is filled with southern charm, history and of course wonderful artists - St. Augustine, Florida. The self guided artwalk is booming with a fabulous collections of art of all kinds - paintings, photography, music and so much more. You can enjoy free parking and a free sightseeing train and trolley tours too.
Even though I have lived in the deep south for the majority of my life (South Georgia), I never actually made it to St. Augustine. When I go back home for a visit, I believe this is something Jo and I will HAVE to be sure we do. I absolutely love gallery hopping and to have the added benefit of being in a historical, oceanside city is perfect so I cannot wait to go to a "First Friday Weekend Art Walk". I really look forward to seeing some of the pieces by Trip Harrison. I love nature, so considering this is an area of focus (gorgeous sea and landscapes) for him, I cannot wait.
If you enjoy art and are ever in that area of Florida, remember the artwalk held in St. Augustine on the first weekend each month!
I have been trying to come up with some ideas as to what I want on the walls throughout our new place (which we plan to buy sometime next year). One thing I would love to do in our computer room is have vibrant artwork on the walls. I am hoping to have cobalt blue walls, so vibrant artwork is going to work great in there.
I really love the pieces by Jean-Claude Picot at the Park West Art Gallery. They are so colorful and the colors are so vibrant, which I want for my own home. My favorite pieces is a still life piece called Le Vase Bleu de Madrid. I could even see this in my living room. It is a really fun piece. I also adore Floral Arch I by Natalie Levine. It reminds me of the archway leading up to my great grandmothers old house.
The Park West Art Gallery features the largest collection of fine arts, in the world. They even conduct fine art auctions around the USA and even Canada. If you haven't already, have a look around!
