I'm taking a break from food and doing a series with 3 pieces based on sea stuff, so stay tuned if you like this one! 

Art in the Park

My favorite art event of the year is this weekend: Art in the Park in Keene! The weather seems to be perfect too!

The Sublime Mobile Art Gallery is all ready for the show as well! If you read the article in the Keene Sentinel about mine and Kristina's campers you know it will be at the show. What the article didn't say is that I am just lugging my art in the camper to the show, and my art will be at my tent in the park like usual. For one thing this event would never allow something like this camper. I wouldn't even dream of asking them to let me bring it in. I did want to drive it there however, because everyone is so excited about it. If you want to see it, it will be in the back parking lot where the Colony Mill overflow parking used to be. 

I assured the art association  that I will NOT be selling any art out of the camper and that I would tuck it away in the parking lot not in prime parking spaces after I empty my art out and set up. So if you want to look at it, it will be a bit of a hike. I'm so happy that after some  discussion that I can bring it into the parking lot at all.  :-) It WILL be open completely to the public for Pumpkin Festival, the Fall Folaige Art Studio Tour and the Keene Art Tour, so please come and see it decked out and artified then.  

As you can see it got a new addition! Benches that are also beds when folded flat! I have two of these lovelies but I may only keep one in the camper most of the time. You can see that all of the art is off the walls and packed up for traveling to my booth. :-) I also got the camper legal and moveable! New license plates and registration and a hitch on my car! I still have not tried to move it myself yet. My husband and I are going to hook it up tonight and practice driving it around in the old Kmart parking lot if you need some Friday night laughs. 

I hope I see all of you there! I will have my new square edibles collection in both prints on canvas and some originals as well as my small retro pieces under my tent! I'm very excited to offer these for the first time as a big group to the public! 

I really do artwork as well as campers. Not that you can tell from my last 5 posts. I really appreciate all the well wishes and enthusiasm about my new mobile art studio/gallery space. I am happy to get back to drawing though! Here's my latest piece from my Squared series.

Camper is ready! Sublime Mobile Art Studio

Welcome to the Sublime Mobile Art Studio!

I want to thank all you that have been following the progress of my camper studio. It will have its debut this week at Art in the Park in Keene, NH. It won't be able to be in the show because of the delicate sprinkler system in the park, but it will be in the parking lot. If you would like a sneak peak you can view it from the outside and peak in the windows. :-)

Some more events you can see Sublime at are:

September 1-2 Art in the Park, Keene, NH Ashuelot River Park - The grand Debut of the Sublime Art Studio! Although the camper won't be allowed in the show - it can be viewed from the outside and you can peek through the windows. Come visit me at my tent in the ark for my artwork. 

October 6-7, Columbus Day Weekend, Fall Foliage Art Studio Tour, 271 Roxbury St, Keene, NH.


October 20th, Pumpkin Festival, Keene, NH. Location not set yet.

November 3rd & 4th, Keene Art Tour. 31 Trowbridge Rd Keene, NH. 

All the events so far are in Keene, but I am looking into festivals and farmer's markets before the season is over. If you know of any that would be good for a camper gallery - let me know! Also if you would like me to come to your event or rent it out for your own work, fashion trunk show etc - let me know! 603-685-4238 or email nicolecaulfield@gmail.com

Camper Update 8/24

More camper updates. I've made curtains to help with the overall color scheme of the camper which will now be green, red, yellow, and white. Its funny - with the addition of the curtains, the camper seems to be working its way to its own theme. I thought I would be doing a "campy" take on the girlscouts but after sampling and trying loads of fabrics on the windows (did you know you can return cut fabric?) I settled on this vintage looking lemon print from Joann Fabrics. I tried loads of woodsey prints and none worked as well as these sweet little curtains. SO what is the new theme? I'm not sure but the lemons work right with my food themed artwork!

The most exciting thing is the little green gallery/studio will be getting a new (old) door!

The other door was not in good condition - it is dented, leaking and missing parts. It looked like someone lost their key at some point too and pried it open. So I had someone come and take a look at what I could do for the door. My friend George Ponzini is a glass artist and can sometimes be talked into doing home repairs/kitchen remodels etc. http://www.georgeponzini.com/ You must look at his glass art it is amazing!

Well, we decided on getting on old door from Renew Salvage in Brattleboro VT and cut it to fit the frame. I went by myself and picked one. There really was only one that seemed like it would work and George is not coming until the weekend so I hope I am not jinxing this! I need the camper finished by September 1st! So I have no time for 2nd choices!

While I am waiting for the door it is on to the interior. My friend (& previous owner) painted the inside with a light grey/green which as she put it "is great for sleeping" but its kind of dark in the camper during the day sometimes so I need to lighten it up. I am going for a light lemony yellow and will be doing that today.

Also on the list before the 1st:

• picture rails on the outside
• carpeting in
• furniture in (and some needs to be put together)
• picture hangers/possible shelving in the inside
• clean up tires

Wish me luck! Its back to school and therefore work next week for me! So I am getting a little nervous!
