May 2008

Opening Gala for the "Aerial Suspension" Show this Friday, May 2nd from 7-9pm!!! Frank Bette Center for the Arts is putting on another wonderful show of local Bay Area Artists work. I have two photographs featured in this show and fellow Four Oceans Press Artist & Photographer Graham Bird (http://www.brearleyphoto.com/ ) has three in the show... Here is a sneak peek of two of our pieces... (Mine is the "Dancing in the Ocean Breeze" on the right.)

This kite at the ocean was shot for the first "Fine Arts Photography Exchange" coordinate by Four Oceans Press... I'm excited to see all the finished photos with this 'Movement' theme. Check it out and feel free to sign up if you are a photographer. www.fouroceanspress.com/exchange_photo
I'm just finishing up my prints for Exchange #36 with the Baren Forum (http://www.barenforum.org/) - Above is my idea drawing for "Life on an Oak Tree"... I'll make sure the finished print is in my next up-date e-mail :) I'm also finishing up my "Blooming" prints for the Four Oceans Press Spring Exchange and I need to be starting my "Pizza" for the Food Alphabet Exchange... (Here is a link to the Archive page on Four Oceans Press where you can view the prints from all the completed exchanges which are linked to the left www.fouroceanspress.com/archive )
