As Summer Winds Down
Thank goodness for a recent cool-down. Everything seems to be sighing with relief, including the butterflies. I was alarmed when summer began because we weren't seeing our usual numbers of my glorious winged critters, but it seems they were saving their best for last. Always, always happy to see the Monarchs, and to feed them, as this is the generation that will be heading south.

        

Solo Show 2026
My solo show next year has been moved up from November to August. I started to panic a bit and to consider alternate themes for the show. My rock and mineral photography has me more excited than anything else I'm working on, so I might go with that. These are recent images . . .

 
Malachite No. 3

Malachite with Chrysocolla

Labradorite No. 1

Rainbow Fluorite No. 2

Tiger Eye (Marra Mamba) No. 2

If I go with rocks and minerals, I need to get started on printing and framing so I can spread the cost over the next eleven months. I want to have some of the images printed on aluminum. There's a printing company in Louisville that does wonderful dye sublimation on several substrates, aluminum included. I still have plenty of time to change my mind!

And speaking of rocks and minerals . . .
A dear friend has started a business selling them and asked me to create her logo. She's also loaning me "models" for my photography.

New Interpretations Show
My Louisville gallery's group show this year is 'New Interpretations.' Entrants were asked to provide a new interpretation of a seminal work by a famous artist, and my riffs on Magritte's The Son of Man fit right in. This one will hang in the show.
