But not the sad kind! My two “blues” are very happy to be headed to Bethlehem, Pa. to be in a show with the theme “Everything Blue” at MVA Gallery. Color-themed shows are fun. Going through my folders of images to consider, I discovered that I have quite a few that feature lots of blue–not surprising given how much time I spend outdoors. Indeed, Mirage owes it’s overall blue tone to a blue, blue sky, which functions a lot like putting a blue filter on your camera when shooting at something in the distance. The houses at the most western…

Many of my posts here are about artworks that have been accepted at juried shows around the country, but local friends often ask, “Where can I go to see some of your work?” I don’t always have a good answer, but today I do! The Northeast Louisiana Arts Council has moved into new digs at 118 Cotton St. in West Monroe. This space has a lovely gallery in front and the opening exhibit featuring Louisiana Arts Region 8 artists is hanging now. I’m proud to be in it! I picked two of my favorite pieces and both were invited into…

Bolt out of the Blue is currently part of my #ArchitecturalAbstracts show in my Co-op space at Ruston Artisans on W. Alabama in Ruston. Tomorrow (Feb. 18) I will be there from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and that will be your last chance to see the piece for awhile! Bolt has been invited to the “Baldwin National 2023” in the Holt-Russell Gallery at Baker University in Baldwin City, KS. The show runs March 4–25, 2023. One of the things I enjoy about this image is that it is one of what I call my “impossible photographs.” That is because…

People who know how much time I spend hanging out in the woods, fields and swamps of Louisiana might be surprised to learn that I love hanging out on the streets of cities, too. It’s not something I get to do often. So, getting a shot that really works is especially gratifying. Of course, it helps when a show with the perfect theme shows up. Say “Cheese”! got invited to a show themed “Srike a Pose: Portraiture & Figurative Work,” hosted by the Cultural Center of Cape Cod. Many thanks to the Center for making a place for this kind…

“Winter Wonderland” is an online show, and I am delighted to be in it. Often descriptions for winter-themed shows make it sound like work that features southern scenes will not have much of a chance of being invited. You know, no snow! Having Wing Stop invited to “Winter Wonderland” thus felt a bit like a breakthrough. Moreover, I am fascinated by anhingas, which makes it all the more special. This particular anhinga is a female and a resident of Black Bayou Lake NWR. I have photographed her on that very stump more than once. “Winter Wonderland” is an online show….
