Also on our tour today we visited Art Under the Umbrella at Old Town LaQuinta, a unique old town on the east side of Palm Springs. Some amazing fine art. I met a warm and generous artist by the name of Lauretta Lowell from Palm Desert who did magical assemblage. See her work at whimsicalcuriosities.com. Owen visited and was intrigued by Tom Thornton, a Fine Art Woodworker. See his work at tomthortonwoodworking.com AND Bob Fulton who did garden art and you can see some his work below in the photo of the art balls. Pretty darn cool. I'm meeting with the LQAF on Monday and hope to volunteer with them through the winter.
