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…

Local Friends: Go!
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” Strikes Again
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…
Two from the Street
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…
One to Ship, One Online
“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….
