Extra Credit Art Show 2!

The West Austin Studio Tour taking place  May 19-20, had over 160 artists open up their studio's to the city of Austin.

I was cordially invited to visit the studio of Honoria Starbuck, local artist and professor at the Art Institute of Austin, to see her recent artworks.  Honoria works out of her newly built, modern, 2600 square foot home in the lovely Brentwood neighborhood.

When asked about the Tai Chi inspired art, Honoria responded "my friend and I were doing Tai Chi and decided to put brushes on the end of our swords to create the paintings".  (3)
