Lobenberg's"2nd Annual Tour De Cluck" art extravaganza workshop!

Last year was the very first "Tour De Cluck" in Davis, California. The tour raises money to promote healthy food in the local school cafeterias. They sell tickets to tour residential, backyard chicken coups. One can drive, walk or bicycle. Davis is known nationwide as a HUGH bicycle town, and thus most people took the tour on bikes. In conjunction with the tour last year, I offered the 1st Annual Tour De Cluck art workshop. It was a huge success. My artists did fantastic chicken art in a variety of mediums, and donated some of their pieces for the silent auction tent set up at a local park on the day of the tour. Their art sold so well, that we were invited back this year! The workshop will be on May 7 and the event on May 14. The Chinese style rooster is a watercolor that I did last year to help promote the workshop. This year I decided to do the same rooster in acrylic on canvas. Which painting should I use for this year's promotion dear reader?

Spring Has Sprung!

A loosey, goosey, inky, washy from Ye Old Lobenberg Archive. I haven't a clue as to what that Chinese chop says. Maybe it says "Spring has Sprung".

THE NAMES!

Herewith are the names of the four great 20th century jazz artists that I watercolor awhile back and showed in my previous post. They are: Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holiday (aka: Lady Day), Louie Armstrong (aka: Pops), and John Coltane. Here also is a younger Ella in action that I watercolored a few years ago.

Jazz Giants from Ye Old Lobenberg Watercolor Archive

Can you name all four?

Auch, du lieber!...yet a ANOTHER DAMN BRIDGE from the Lobenberg archive!

Not only is this yet another damn bridge but it shows you how the pros paint! I don't need no stinkin easel!

Another Archived Lobenberg Bridge Watercolor

Since I posted the previous bridge, I remembered this one from Ye Old Lobenberg Archive. This one is painted even looser, and I really like the style. What do you think? The structure is the Tower Bridge and leads into downtown Sacramento and crosses the Sacramento River. It was built in the early 1930's when the nation's economy was in the dumpster...kinda like it is with our economy now!

Rainbow Bridge

Another watercolor from Ye Old Lobenberg Archive. I did this shortly after 9/1/01 hence old glory hanging from the bridge. Hope you like it. Painted on a full sheet of 140 lb. Arches cold press.
