No, it's not Christmas, it's just Art & Soup time!! I look forward to this event every spring, and this year was fab as usual. For those of you who don't know about it, Art & Soup is an function put on by Community Nursing Services in Salt Lake and is a charity event to raise money for their organization. Artists come and set up their work displays and 30% of their sales for the three days goes to CNS. So that's the art portion. Then restaurants come and bring their gourmet and specialty soups and give little cups of them out all evening. You sip a soup while you look at amazing art. Can it get better? Yes, it can. There are also a few bakeries that come and bring pastries, desserts, and cookies. Phewf, I'm getting heated just thinking about it. Some of my very favorite things: art, soup, and pastries. Wowzer. Anyway, I went lastnight with Meg and Nancy and we had a grand time. My favorite soup was a sweet potato crab bisque from Blue Boar Inn and there was a new artist there that I really fell in love with, Erin W. Berrett. Check out her website http://www.EWBpaintings.com she's great. We left with bellies full of soup and minds full of colorful paintings. If you can, you should hit it tonight at the downtown Sheraton. You can click www.cnsvna.org to find out more details. Don;t even think about eating before you go. In fact, start your fast now.
I always love going because it really inspires me to start painting again. I usually start work on a couple pieces this time of year because of A&S and then abandon them because I don't have the room to set everything up and I don't like getting it out and putting it away a million times. Subsequently, I have many unfinished paintings sitting under the bed. So for now I'm savoring the memories of this year's soup and wishing I had a studio to paint my days away...
P.S. Stay posted for hats on Etsy!
