Municipal Gallery Show

One of the youngest exhibitors at the Municipal Gallery of Escondido, Zaccai King, discussed his interest in papier mache and art with Brian Wilson who with his wife Windy hung the show.

There were several shows opening on the same night which meant there was a good mix of artists and interested folks in attendance-lots of people mingling and every age represented from infant to ripe in years.

Good, loud music too which always seems to bring out the best in creative people.

Fine Gallery Reception

The May 9th reception at the Municipal Gallery in downtown Escondido was very good!

There were lots of happy, friendly people and several of Escondido's mature artists and their friends were rubbing shoulders with Escondido's high school artists and their supporters --oh, it was VERY nice!

All enjoyed strawberries, cheese and crackers, wine and soft drinks and some really inspired art work.

Some young artists were cartooning on a big sheet of glass held in a vertical frame so the viewers could see both the artist and the artwork from behind the drawing! Unique. Another talented young artist did a beautiful, colorful painting of a koi fish as we watched. Excellent!

Tomasito's Creative Workshop artists were represented by our papier mache work--and our things looked fine in the gallery setting.

Since our artists cannot leave the care residence none could attend the reception but our Assistant Volunteer, Zaccai King was there with his proud parents,
brothers and sisters.

The Workshop artists were delighted to hear all about the reception and were pleased that their work was shown in the gallery.

Thanks, Windy Wilson and the Escondido Municipal Gallery for showing our creative papier mache works!

We often have visiting guests atTomasito's Creative Workshop and they are welcome to join in the creative tasks of the day if they wish.

Assistant Volumteer Zakkai's younger sister Hannah helped out recently and did some drawing.

There is always plenty to do and guests like Hannah are very welcome.

Helen prefers to draw and paint rather than the messier art work of papier mache.

She also enjoys singing and we all admire her voice.

One of our favorite projects right now is a big papier mache fruit bowl. We formed it on a beach ball and it is presently getting painted.

We are also working on a lot of papier mache fruit to go IN the bowl.

This project has taken several weeks of papering and drying and the whole activities room is curious about what it will look like when it is finished.
