Friday Hunt, 2016.2-1

Well, we begin the alphabet anew at Teresa's fun meme, Friday Hunt. The first clue this week is Starts with A. I have three ‘A’ subjects this week that work (I think), in order: 

• Allegra, our daughter. Here is in 1989 at our apartment in Derby, CT is the less than one-year old with her mom. The pacifier sees to be of more interest to her than the photographer…

• Angelino’s restaurant (excellent :) in Vernon, CT, the name resplendent in red neon! 

• Ansonia, our small city of 19,000 in southern CT. It is about 85 miles/137 km northeast of Midtown Manhattan, New York City 

Week's Favorite. How about or friend Rich DiCarlo, President of the Valley Arts Council. This is obviously a staged photo yet we have to look more than once at the large fellow looking ready to pedal the three-wheeled Veomobile to places unknown…

Shadow Shot Sunday - Watercolors

We look for shadows in many places, sometimes the shadows are bold, some subtle. 

For  Shadow Shot Sunday 2, I offer the latter. Our friend and Valley Arts Council (VAC) President held a watercolor course for grown-ups at the Derby Public Library last month.

The seasonal subject was Reindeer. This was not a serious look at art, but a place to let your inner artist enjoy working with an unfamiliar medium.

Rich is a great teacher, one who encourages his students to try to expand their artistic skills and not. worry about technique. 



Patti wrote about this class and her pictures showcase the pleasure we believe anyone can find in art.  And for shadow watchers, they are all over the room, but quietly lying under the artists of the day...
