I’m very excited to be participating in East Bay Open Studios—a two-weekend event opening over 400 artists’ studios to the public.  The event is a fantastic way to explore the wondrous neighborhoods of the East Bay (Oakland, Berkeley, and everything in between), meet artists, and see some fresh art.  Please join me the weekends of June 1-2 and June 8-9.

Most all of my recent work will be on display and available for purchase, including a small selection of affordable pieces and gifty items.

I’ll be sitting there alternately painting, serving snacks, and shmoozing!  Please come by and chat, hang out, or just have a look.  I’ll have a stack of East Bay Open Studios directories/maps for further exploration.

UPDATE 6/5/2013: My studio will be open Saturday June 8th only. CLOSED JUNE 9th.

In honor of Mother’s day, I’ve added five flower paintings to the Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/GabeRobertsArt

They’re mounted on handmade wooden panels and ready to hang on a special wall in your mother’s home.

If you place an order by the end of the day Tuesday, May 7th, I’ll get the painting to you by Saturday, May 11th.  I’ll even give it a snappy gift-wrapping using hand-painted paper and pretty ribbons.

Even if you don’t buy one of these oil paintings, remember to take a moment to tell your mom—or any moms in your life—how special she is to you.

This year I’m very excited to join over 400 artists in the East Bay Open Studios event.  My studio will be open the first two weekends of June.

As part of the preview exhibition, one of my flower paintings is currently on display at the Pro Arts gallery in downtown Oakland:

I’ll be at the gallery this Friday, May 3rd, for the First Friday Artist’s Reception.  The 400 pictures by 400 different artists are hung salon-style; it’s a fun way to get a sampling of East Bay artists, and figure out whose studios you want to visit next month.
