a link to my business website that has nothing to do with my art

MY PAINTINGS WILL BE 50% OFF THIS WEEKEND

This is a guilt sale because I don't have much new work except gourds which are so labor intensive that they took up most of my painting time. I'm going to take a break from painting gourds for a while to focus on paintings so if you have wanted a gourd, now is the time.

GOURDS ARE FULL PRICE

The following are studio pics which show some of my available work .......

Susie, I still have the yellow heart.

The following are available but live in my home until someone wants them. Last Open Studios I brought them all in but this time my knees balked.

Following is a glimpse of Peggy Huff's work, she is my studio mate.

Following are pics from customers of last spring's open studios showing works of mine that they purchased.

DIRECTIONS TO ISLAIS CREEK & HUNTERS POINT SHIPYARD

THE WAY I GET TO MY HUNTERS POINT STUDIO IS

3rd St North
Right on Evans
Drive until the street ends
Go left

FLESHING IT OUT: Evans turns into Hunters Point which turns into Innes which is the street that ends. At this point you will see a construction fence with 'HUNTERS POINT' banners. The left is on to Donahue which can only bring you to the shipyard. Don't get creative and take a right on Innes from 3rd, it is not safe and does not go through.

REMINDER, HUNTERS POINT OPEN STUDIOS THIS WEEKEND

Saturday May 4 and Sunday May 5 from 11 AM to 6 PM. My studio mate Peggy Huff and I are in building 101, studio 1201. Enter the building at the main entrance (flag pole entrance). Go left then take the first right and we are at the left end.

There are about 130 participating artists in 3 buildings. This is the official website: http://www.shipyardartists.com/openstudio/openstudio.html

This is a copy of our notification post card which has directions. It will point you to 2 groups of studios, I'm at Hunters Point and I believe it is mostly sculptors at the Islais Creek studios.

We can probably scare up some of Ed Handelman's work as well; as Peggy's hubby he is able to store his work in our studio. I'm not sure if he will be present. Here is a sample of his work which many of you will recognize.

And last but not least, here are my studio walls with most of my available work.

The mixed media pictures of the Japanese women are Peggy's.

OPEN STUDIOS SAT - SUN, MAY 4 - 5, 2013

Recently I was lucky enough to get a studio-share in Hunters Point Shipyard. This enables me to participate in their open studio events. My first one will be this coming May 4 - 5 from 11 AM to 6 PM. I would love to see you there. I am in building 101, studio 1201. Enter the building at the main entrance (flag pole entrance). Go left then take the first right and my studio is on the left end.

There are 240 artists in 3 buildings, many of whom will have their studios open.

This is the official website: http://www.shipyardartists.com/openstudio/openstudio.html

This is a copy of our notification post card which has directions. It will point you to 2 groups of studios, I'm at Hunters Point and I believe it is mostly sculptors at the Islais Creek studios.

If you can't read these directions, basically you go down 3rd st, turn on Evans towards the bay or East ish, take Evans until it turns into Innes and you cant go further then go left on Donahue and that will bring you right into the shipyard. Easy peazy.

I have been working on some apple and pear gourds that will be available at the show. They are $1,000,000 each so I expect y'all will want at least two.

I hope you can make it.

You can now purchase prints of my work at Chesney-Rheaume.ArtistWebsites.com. Click on the 'galleries' tab to select a genre of work or click on the 'images' tab to see everything. One of these days Ii'll have all of my work on the site but for now there are 30 or so paintings. On this site you can get various size prints on paper, canvas, acrylic panels, metal panels, frames, and greeting cards. I have a gallery on the site of all of my original paintings that are available at any time. You can't purchase originals directly on the website but you can always purchase them from me.

Still alive and well, still alive and well. Every now and then I know it's kind of hard to tell, I'm still alive and well. Does anyone recognize these lyrics? DD?

I am happy to report that I have joined the Artists Guild of San Francisco. AGSF was started in 1962 to give local artists an opportunity to display their art in outside venues throughout San Francisco and to expose the public to local art.

Please visit the AGSF site to learn more about the guild and to view the show schedule. Artists Guild SF You won't yet find me on the site as a participating artist but I will be represented there soon enough.

As I was in the throes of closing my shop in November of 2011 it was unclear what I would do next and I thought that perhaps I would continue to offer other artist's work on my Art & Soul Gallery web site. As it turns out I have shut down that site and come to the conclusion that I am happier painting and selling only my work. My new website is ChesneyRheaume.com. Please visit my site to see my new work. At the moment I am concentrating on heart paintings as that is what I submitted for jury to the AGSF. I will continue with my abstracts soon

I currently have some large heart paintings for sale in L'Escape Spa & Salon, 1217 Burlingame Ave, Burlingame, (650) 347-7706. Please visit Jennifer's website to explore her charming spa's various products, services and treatments.

Additionally until November 2012 when Picasso's Closet moves around the corner from where it is now @ 318 Lorton Ave, Burlingame, (650) 344-9145, I will have a number of smaller gift style art pieces for sale like original heart paintings, framed prints, paperweights and greeting cards. Tanya, the shop owner is moving to a smaller space and will not have room for my work once she moves. Boo hoo. Don't let that stop you from visiting her shop as it is a delight. She is an artist in her own right and has a bold, colorful, whimsical and friendly style. Although she offers her paintings for sale, her focus in her current shop has an enticing mix of women's clothing, accessories and home decor.

For those of you who haven't heard, the well loved shop Pot Pourri has moved into the space that I vacated on Broadway in Burlingame. Chris has opened a smaller shop than he had on Burlingame Ave and it is lovely. I wish him all the luck.

This is a new style of heart that I am painting to sell at the AGSF shows (or anywhere else):

This is a new style of abstract that I have come up with:
