I love art studio tours, because I get to see the places where artists work and live, and they're very often extremely scenic. Artists, after all, have an eye for beauty.
The Fall Art Tour organized by RAAC is a favorite of mine. Rappahannock County is in Virginia’s Piedmont Region and remains stubbornly rural and beautiful.
I went this afternoon, and had noted a couple of places that I thought I hadn’t seen before, and the online examples of the artwork were impressive. It turned out that I had been to both of these studios, but had forgotten the names. In one case, I recognized the pond along the road leading there, and in the other case, I didn’t realize I had been there before until I actually walked in the door. Well, I looked back on my blog and saw that I was there 10 years ago, so no wonder my memory was a little hazy.
I didn’t take very many pictures this time. In fact, when I went in the headquarters gallery, I accidentally left my phone in the car. I had been using it as a GPS, or rather had tried to, but had lost the signal at some point and then the app basically collapsed and wouldn’t recognize the signal after it came back. I finally had to reboot the phone, but I didn’t really need the GPS because I had a general idea of where I was and had saved the addresses and basic map ahead of time. I know better than to count on a GPS in the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
