Last week update...

 Last week update.

First, got the banner finished for the Placerville Art on Parade display on Main Street in downtown Placerville. I am so excited to see all the artist's banners on the light posts displayed throughout the summer. 

Here is my banner:

A Wood Sorrel Summer by Robin Rodriguez

These banners are large and this was the biggest project I have ever done. It took up a lot of room. I used a 5'x3' folding table which I set up in my art space. I had no idea that it would take as long as it did to paint. This was definitely a humbling and learning project. Now that its done, I am excited to apply next year! I will be posting my banner when it's hung. (Both sides are painted however I forgot to photograph the back side when I completed it.)  For more info on the Placerville Art On Parade and see more banners from previous years go to https://www.placervilleartonparade.org/.

Here's a new design I am doing on sneakers for an upcoming class:


I will be at Batia Vineyards Tasting Room on Main Street in downtown Placerville June 18, 2022 from 4-8pm. For more info on the class and Batia Vineyards, go to https://www.batiavineyards.com/home.

And lastly, the Farmers Market on Saturday was fun as always. Here's a quick look at my table set up:


This week I will be working on more sneakers and totes for next Saturday.

Thanks for stopping by!

Needed a little rest...

 Last week was horrific. I am an empath and have been reeling from Buffalo, Uvalde and now the Tulsa tragedies. I got stuck in a mire of emotions which really impacted my ability to create or do much. I did find being outside and pulling the foxtail weeds helped a bit and got a much needed chore out of the way. Yesterday I felt like I could start painting and I finished a pair of white Converse Chucks that I washed with acrylic to a beautiful blue. I am really happy with how they came out. I now have an old pair of Chucks given to me by the 8 year old daughter of a Farmers Market vendor friend to paint. I think bringing this pair back to life for her will be healing for me. I do love a challenge! I figure if I could bring my old pink chucks back to life I can certainly bring these babies back! I had hired a person on Etsy to create my new logo. I really wanted a nice logo...and I hate it. I have hit my max of 3 revisions and I am stuck. What would you do? Hope you are taking care of yo

First time at the Farmer's Market...

Yesterday was opening day for the Certified Organic Farmer's Market in our County here in Northern California. I was approved for being one of the local artists approved for a vendor spot. It started off as a cloudy and cold morning around 40 degrees. The sun started to peak through about 10am which was warming. The weather here has been weird for sure. I was assured by the Master Gardener's that I was not the only one loosing springtime plants and flowers this year. Glad to know my pale green thumb hasn't gone completely brown. Here's a look at my table: I also had a few totes hanging from the two front corners of the pop-up that the market's organizer let me borrow. If I had waited to have a lot of merchandise to sell I would never have set up. I have done that before too many times. Plus I was in it for the sake of putting myself and my artwork out into the public. If I sold anything, that would be the bonus. And I did sell four painted wine glasses! It paid for
