A couple of weeks ago we went on the Open Studios Tour around Botetourt. One of our stops was the studio space of Ed Bordett which is housed inside of this 1930's dealership building:
Here is a piece he is working on:
This is an historical home not too far from his studio. I will show you what the old house looks like tomorrow.
Mr. Bordett's studio is located at 5 East Main Street in Fincastle. You can visit his website HERE

His rendition is amazing; love the vibrant colors!
ReplyDeleteInteresting use for an old dealership.
ReplyDeleteIt's very nice to see the old buildings still being used. That gentleman has a lot of talent.

ReplyDeletemake that Oldsmobile ( :
DeleteOh wow, I really like your capture of his art! Great post.
ReplyDeletebeautiful!
ReplyDeletewhat a cool studio, a recycled place! and I would love to see more of his work so will check out the link /-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like he is a photo realist painter. Love the old Oldsmobile sign, now highly collectable as it is an orphan car brand.
ReplyDeleteThe studio is a picture within itself. How an artist would love to work in a place like that.
ReplyDeleteThe painting is great! It actually looks more like a photo than a painting, very realistic!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great piece the artist is working on.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a good use of the old building!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to investigate this studio. Love when old buildings are still in creative use!
ReplyDeleteEd is a fun guy, the last time that I saw him was when he brought a couple antique dulcimers to our exhibit last summer. Lots of stories if you get a chance to talk with him.
ReplyDeleteI do like the colors and really great that you were able to visit inside the studio.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! That's talent!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a studio like this. Nice artwork.
ReplyDeleteThese studio tours are wonderful ways to spend time and learn how artists work.
ReplyDeleteI really like the house-in-progress. My artistic tastes run toward the realistic.
ReplyDeleteThere are studio tours in both Hartford and Naples, but it seems that they are always scheduled for a time when I am not free. I have begun to wonder if they are trying to avoid me.
He must have lots of space in that old dealership !
ReplyDeleteGreat studio!
ReplyDeleteLove the old Oldsmobile sign Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteLove the painting! I find it interesting that he is painting from top to bottom! I've never seen anyone do that before....whatever works, though!
ReplyDeleteI love open studio tours! Artists live and work in interesting places.
