Via Colori starts tomorrow!

It is a blast to watch Beachmom paint! I had the honor of sitting next to her canvas for awhile!

The day was great- everyone should run over at least for a bit and check out the street art AND works on canvas. I believe the auction for the canvasses starts at 1 pm- Supermom, is that correct?

Another great work in progress yesterday was a giant Jimi Hendrix, led by the sons of a SoWaller, and featuring a bunch of SWHS guys. This one is going to be very cool when finished.

The silent auction for the canvases ENDS at 4PM today. There are clipboards in front of each canvas where you can place your bid anytime this morning. I have bid on Beachmom's painting and I won't be happy if someone outbids me!!! There is a lot of great artwork by many local, and not so local artists. Melissa Davis, Justin Gaffrey, Joe Cloutier and of course Beachmom are a few that I know. The paintings are all GREAT! Justin has 3 paintings up for bid, so if you've ever wanted a Gaffrey painting this might be a great chance to get one at a great price. There is a painting of Frostbites and the Seaside scene that is wonderful. I don't know the artist, I think he was from out of the area. A young artist was in the middle of painting a female surfer and it looked like it was going to be fabulous. There were also a few other artists doing canvases and they were amazing. Go to Via Colori this morning and get yourself some art!

Sorry I missed Jimi - I will get today.

$15. for a Via Colori t-shirt painted by Billie Gaffrey
$25. gets you a great piece of art - perfect for a kid's room or vacation house - original works of budding artists!
$200. for a family square 6x6 - there might be a few left if you feel like being artistic today!

Silent Auction: The canvasses are really beautiful! If you are in the market for artwork by local artists and want to support the Seaside Neighborhood School (who, by the way, is headed to Auburn in December to compete in the B.E.S.T. - Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology Robotics competition!) come on out and get in on the action!

Some artists have completed their work already and some *looks behind her* are diligently painting as we speak!

We are so blessed to have the many talented artists, giving of their time and art, and sponsors - whether family or businesses, all working together to further the students and school!

Thanks!

The bidding for the silent auction for the canvas art will now close at 4PM. Come on out and support the school and all the artists!

It WAS a beautiful weekend for art. Here's a pic of my son and some of his friends after they finished their masterpiece. They had a fine time!

I love Superdad's pic. Did it sell? Brings back memories of my 2005 5K experience. I was on the last leg and saw a sign that said "Piece of Cake". I burst out laughing and enjoyed the rest of my run. I was able to purchase that piece, and everyone in that enters my home loves it! My only regret was that I was not able to have the child sign the piece.

Grayt work...looks as if they had a good time. Nice way to spend the day.

Thank you! Yes, I got into a bidding war for it and was outbid at the last minute. It was getting too steep for me anyway. I asked Superdad to paint another one, maybe I'll have him do a couple (although he is not in a hurry to draw all the people again!)

I will try to find out who painted the piece of cake sign - if you bring it back for the 2008 race, I will try to get it signed for you if you want!
