Today’s Visions

The October 24th issue of the Long Island newsday recently wrote an article about the Midnight Oils Exhibition in which I had a piece of my work.  During the reception, several of the artists were interviewed — including myself.  I anxiously awaited for the article to run hoping that I might have received a small quote.

Friday, October 24th, 2008 - when I looked through the days issue of the Long Island Newsday I was very pleasantly surprised!  What I got was a very nice write up and my art was even pictured!  What a thrill.  Click on the article to the left to take a look at a copy of this article.

This picture is now for sell by the artist, Sherril Barnes.  It comes matted and framed.  Please contact Sherril if you are interested in purchasing this beautiful piece.

Recently I entered two photographs into the 43rd Annual Friends of the Riverhead Free Library Photography Contest 2008.  The Reception for the contest was held on Friday, October 4th.  Both of the photographs that I entered brought home awards!  I was thrilled.

Midnight Oils, Mills Pond Gallery, Smithtown, New York

My work has been accepted into another juried art show.  This one, sponsored by the Smithtown Arts Council, is entitled Midnight Oils, a fine arts exhibition celebrating frightening subject matters cast in a philosophic, romantic, or humorous light.  Juror Alain Khadem, a Long Island-based artist, choose my piece along with 31 other pieces from the 1000s of works that were submitted from local, national and international artists.

The exhibit will be on view at The Mills Pond House Gallery in St. James, October 4 – November 1, 2008. The public is invited to an opening reception Saturday, October 11, 5-7 pm to meet exhibiting artists and view their work.  I hope to meet some of my blog readers there.

While I will not share the work that has been accepted into the show, I will tell you that I choose to exhibit death in a romantic light.  Come see the exhibit - and if you can’t, I will post my work here after the show.

As I previously posted, I had a piece of work accepted into the Juried art show “Summer on Long Island” held at the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook, New York.

I did not receive an award for my piece - but being one of the 109 pieces chosen from thousands of entries was an honor enough.  So which piece hung in the gallery?
