...one of my photos, entitled "Abandoned stairs," received FIRST place honors in the Photography category of the Annual Member's Show of the Ocean County Artists Guild.  I was surprised, but delighted, and the prize money that went along with it was certainly a nice dividend!! The show is currently open to the public for free at the Guild, which is at Chestnut and Ocean Avenues in Island Heights.  The show features a great collection of work in watercolor, pen and ink, oil, and photography, of course.  It continues until the end of the month.  Stop by if you are in the area!

   This brings to three the number of exhibits where my work is currently on exhibit.  In addition to the member's show at the Guild, I have two photographs at the Toms River Artist Community's (TRAC) show at the Toms River Branch of the Ocean County Library.  This show, entitled "Visions," also features a wide variety of different art styles and mediums, including oil, watercolor, drawing, glass and photography and it continues until the end of the month.  As noted in my last blog post, I also have two pictures at the show curated by Nancy Ori entitled "Cuba: watching and working,"  which is at the Watchung Arts Center, in Watching, New Jersey.  As with the two other shows noted, this one continues until the end of the month.

   Next month, I will not be taking a break, but instead participating at the upcoming member show at the Guild of Creative Art in Shrewsbury, New Jersey.  That show will also feature a variety of works and styles--all of it exceptional! 

    So, if you have been wondering where I have been and why I have not been posting regularly, that's my excuse.  I am also getting ready for a few more shows where the focus will be on selling rather than showing.  Christmas is coming, quickly, and fine photographs always make a nice present!  More about those shows in a future post.  Meantime, I hope you can stop in to see my work in at least one location!
