New Exhibit At Art Obsessions In Reno

I'm happy to announce that my photography prints are now available at Art Obsessions in Reno.  I've been represented by Art Obsessions previously when it was located in Truckee, California but they have recently moved to a brand new Village at Rancharrah shopping center in Reno, Nevada.

The art gallery is the first business in the Village to open, many more shopping and dining options will be available soon. The hours may be a bit inconsistent at first. You may want to check the website and give them a call before visiting. https://artobsessions1.com

Here are a few photos I've shot of the shopping center and of Art Obsessions. Hopefully I will see you at a gallery event soon!

Photos of Art Obsessions art gallery

Did you miss it? My exhibit at Art Obsessions art gallery a couple weeks ago was a lot of fun. I had many of my large 40"x60" canvas prints up and I thought the Jordan, the gallery director, did a great job with the hanging and presentation. So good that I decided to take a few photos of the exhibit and the rest of Art Obsessions.

I've sold my large photography prints out of Art Obsessions for a few years now. Art Obsessions used to be located on Commercial Row in Downtown Truckee but a while back they moved into the old Star Hotel building on West River Street. My big exhibit may not be in the "featured artist" area of the gallery any more but I still have many large prints available there year round. So please stop by and check it out in person, but in the meantime:

New Winter Themed Photography Exhibit

Scott Shots Photography has a new winter themed photography exhibit on display at the Pavilion at Truckee's Old Greenwood. Old Greenwood is a private golf resort community, so unfortunately, unless you are a homeowner there or a member of their Tahoe Mountain Club, you probably won't get to see this exhibit in person. No problem, I took a couple photos of my photos for you.

There are 12 winter themed photos on display, either framed or on canvas, all are available for purchasing. And as always, I have many more photos/prints available at Art Obsessions in Downtown Truckee and at the Vista Gallery in Kings Beach.

While we're on the theme of winter, I went ahead and put together a slideshow of a "few" images that were tagged with either the keyword winter or snow. Many more winter themed images can be found by using my website's search tool. Thanks for looking and I hope you have a great winter season!

New Photo Exhibit Location - Saylor's Restaurant

Sean Saylor of Saylor's Restaurant and Bar.

A couple of weeks ago, I drove down to Marin to pick up my "Beauty at the Bottom" photo exhibit from Rick's Wine Cellar. But a night out on the town in San Francisco with some friends led to meeting new friends and finding a new location for exhibiting a few of the "Beauty at the Bottom" photos. 

Sean Saylor of Saylor's Restaurant and Bar invited me to exhibit/sell a few canvas prints in his famous restaurant. So of course I took him up on it and now a Casa Noble tequila photo, a Partida photo, and a Ultimo Agave photo are hanging at his place. All are available to purchase there. 

While dropping off the prints and enjoying an incredible portobello mushroom enchilada for lunch, Sean asked if I had ever photographed a Cabo Wabo tequila bottle. You see, Saylor's is a regular hangout spot of rocker Sammy Hagar, who started Cabo Wabo tequila. The restaurant even has a Cabo Wabo room with tons of Sammy Hagar pictures and memorabilia in it. I had not photographed a Cabo Wabo bottle so Sean went and grabbed a special one, a giant three litre blue bottle that isn't made any more. I happily borrowed the bottle and I recently shot this cool photo of it:

"Beauty at the Bottom: Tequila 20"

The bottle was empty when I borrowed it so I bought a regular size Cabo Wabo bottle and filled up the blue bottle a bit for the photo. This meant I also had a second smaller Cabo Wabo bottle to shoot, here's what I got from that one:

"Beauty at the Bottom: Tequila Sunrise 10"

Here is a photo of the setup for the blue bottle photo:

The next time you are in Marin, California or more specifically Sausalito, be sure to stop by Saylor's, have a great meal, enjoy their incredible tequila selection, and have a look at some of my art. Thank you, Salud!

Scott Shot prints now available at Art Obsessions in Truckee, CA

There's a new gallery in town. My favorite new gallery. It's not my favorite just because they sell my photography but because they exhibit some incredible work, from some incredible artists, in an incredible space. 

Scott Thompson's exhibit at Art Obsessions in Downtown Truckee, CA.

Art Obsessions Gallery is the new must see spot in Downtown Truckee, California. It is located in a beautiful historic building that greatly enhances your art viewing experience.   They recently received their license to sell wine by the glass or bottle so you can even further enhance your viewing experience.  Plan on staying a while as there is a lot of art to view.

This past Friday, I set up a little demonstration for Truckee's First Fridays. I brought my camera and set up a "Beauty at the Bottom" photo shoot. "Beauty at the Bottom" is a popular series of photos that I shot down inside the mouths of wine, beer, or other spirits bottles. More info about that series can be found by Clicking Here. It was fun explaining this bizarre abstract art to people and I've been asked to demonstrate again. Look for me there during future First Fridays...

I have many framed prints and canvas prints of Truckee and the Tahoe area on the walls as well as many unframed prints for sale ranging from size 8"x10" to 30"x40".  You can also order any of my prints there and not pay shipping.   For a list of other artists exhibiting at the gallery, please check their website www.ArtObsessions.com.
