New Work

So exciting things have been happening in the realm of my world. As a reminder, I have two shows opening this Friday night. One is at the Arts on the Park Gallery downtown Lakeland, from 6-9PM. They have free wine and appetizers. The other show is the Emerge The Good, The Bad and The Ugly show at the Tampa Artist Emporium in Tampa, from 7-10PM. Both photographs will hang in the galleries for the month of September.

I've also been working on some new pieces for the Platform Art show that is on September 26th. I'm not sure if these will be in the show or not, but here is some new work of mine...

Golden Gate Bridge

Grandmother Redwood (do you see what I see?)

I'm hoping for a trip to Chicago in January for some new travel photography! I'll just have to bring about 23 layers to stay warm!

The best 100th post ever.

So this is my 100th post on this site and it's to announce one of the greatest nights! I got my first award for art in my professional career! Not only that, but I got BEST OF SHOW!!! I about fell over when they announced it. You can check out the winning piece at Arts on the Park, downtown Lakeland during the month of August. It's the one with the big blue ribbon on it! ha.

They will probably post pictures on the Arts on the Park website of me accepting the ribbon with a stupefied look on my face. I still can't believe it.

First Friday, this Friday!

So this Friday (Aug 7) is the First Friday event downtown Lakeland. The theme is the 'Dog Days of Summer' so if you have a pooch, bring it with you to roam around.

The most exciting thing for me is that I was accepted into the show at Arts on the Park; Long Days of Summer. Look for my black&white photograph titled, Toothpick Carnival. The opening is FREE and from 6-9PM, although I'll only be there about the first hour.

This Friday is also the opening of another show in Tampa, the Emerge! Art Party at the Tampa Artist Emporium on Bay to Bay BLVD. I have two photographs in that show as well! (It's FREE and from 7-10PM)

My friends, the Dark Romantics, are also having a concert at Hard Rock this Friday night in Orlando. So whether your in Orlando, Lakeland or Tampa, Friday is going to be a great night!
