“Don’t think about making art, just get it done,” Andy Warhol said. “Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” The pop-art icon’s practical and direct guidance may not be sugar-coated, but his point is valid. Whether you are shopping for a young artist-in-training or an established artist, or you’re hunting for a distinctive local piece for a buddy who loves his dog more than anything, the bottom line was conveyed well by Warhol: What constitutes “good” art remains in the eye of the beholder. The Scribbles Institute offers a unique way for kids to learn drawing fundamentals alongside mom or dad. Both struggling and established artists can always use supplies, and Lenz is always well-stocked. Check out Linda Fillhardt’s “Taco Dog Spirit,” one of the pieces from the Santa Cruz mixed-media artist’s “Animal Spirits'' collection, and you’ll find the perfect present for dog owners—there are cats and other animals as well—of any breed.
