Well, it has
been a great week for photography. So far this week I have taken photos in and
around Leavenworth, published photos of eagles and geese, taken photos of the
show at Icicle Arts in Leavenworth, taken some really great winter view shots
from Earhart Heights, of Saddle Rock and of the ice formations of plant life
while snow shoeing in the hills above East Wenatchee.
Along with
all of that I was able to use some of the art photos from Martha’s show in Leavenworth
to create a GVENTS listing online and make a new flyer for her opening /
reception coming up there on February 10th. Whew!!!
Meanwhile
Martha has been a busy little beaver writing love poems to be read at the Two
Rivers Gallery First Friday event for February as it is the month of Valentine’s
Day… the month dedicated to LOVE. She has also reworked a poem that I need to
print-up for her to take with us tonight to the Peggy Lewis Gallery in Yakima
for the opening / reception. The show features the artwork that was created and
donated by a number of artists, including Martha, that will go into the new Women’s
Shelter at the YWCA in Yakima after the show. For more information on that
project see the blog in the Wenatchee World Online at: http://www.wenatcheeworld.com/weblogs/arts-in-the-valley-and-beyond/2012/jan/24/art-events-from-quincy-and-yakima-to-leavenworth-a/
Here in
town, Martha made a visit to Gallery 4South and chatted with owner Charlene
Martin yesterday and purchased some pottery created by Karen Dean and Arlene
Loomer.
Also, here in town we have
started the beginning low fire stage in what will be a very long slow firing of
the Harvest Pride Farmer holding a basket of fresh produce.
This piece is large
and need to be handled with care!!! We are firing it at our good friend Terry
Johnsons Studio in Wenatchee and so while there I couldn’t help but to get some
photos of a work in progress of his.
Among other things he is working on a
painting of the Cottage Inn a local restaurant that shows the art of some of
our Two Rivers Gallery members. And, as usual he is also working on some other
very unique sculpted pottery pieces himself. One looks like a really crazy angry bird...a Pelican maybe.
This morning
I took a few pictures of Saddle Rock from our high perch here on the opposite facing
hills and posted one on Facebook which I see has already received some
comments. I’m hoping to put together a small series of shots of Saddle Rock
taken in each of the four seasons. Look for future pics of the Rock in upcoming
blogs.
Later this
morning Martha will head on over to Wenatchee, as it is her day to volunteer at
Two Rivers Gallery. Then if the weather holds well, we’ll be off to Yakima for
the reception at the Peggy Lewis Gallery. I’m really looking forward to that.
Well, it’s
time to print-up that poem for tonight so; enough for now… and who knows maybe
I’ll get some more great view shots of Saddle Rock in before the day is over.
