Happy Friday!

TGIF, everyone!  This weekend's TGIF special is a four-season composite of my favorite tree -- located on DD west of Ashland, Missouri.  One 24" x 20" stretched canvas print of "Four Seasons of the Mighty Oak" is available for $109 (regularly $186.77).  The TGIF promo runs until 10:00PM Sunday, May 19th, or until the one available canvas is sold, whichever comes first.  Last week's TGIF special only lasted an hour.  Have a great weekend!

"Four Seasons of the Mighty Oak"

Stretching Outside My Comfort Zone

Today I submitted an entry for the Columbia Art League's upcoming "Green" art show.  Any type of artwork that fits within the "green" theme could be entered, and then a jury will determine which pieces will make it into the show.  Here's the piece I entered:



"Country Lane"

The photo was taken just past our home.  The trees on the right side of the photograph are on the Three Creeks Conservation Area, and the ones on the left side of the road are on our farm.  I do feel truly blessed to live in such an area.

Although over the last year I've begun to be involved in the Ashland Artists Group and participate in some local arts/crafts fairs -- exhibiting my photography in a Columbia Art League show is definitely outside my comfort zone!  I don't know how many artists will enter work for the show, or how many will be chosen to participate -- so I don't have a clue what my odds are.  But keep your fingers crossed for me!  I should know more by Monday.

Biggs Road ~ October 2011

We travel this road to get to one of the fields we farm...and over the last several days I kept telling myself that I needed to take it's portrait.  Today I did!

Home Sweet Home

Not particularly well-composed, but I wanted to fit in both trees and the house.  If you get out your magnifiying glass, you can just spot Mollie, our beagle, on the front porch.

October Sky Through the Trees

The sunlight filtering through the leaves make them almost glow this morning.

The Show-Off

Even amongst the other trees, this one seems to be showing off.  There's one in every crowd, isn't there?  :-)
