Digital Art Wall Hangings

I like wall hangings as a different way to display art. We have several, although most are either quilts or very old Tibetan silk wall hangings. I have tried to create some digital art as wall hangings, so far wioth only limited success. It isn't the art per se. I have plenty of candidates. It is the physical process of creating something that can be affixed to hangers of some kind and that will display without curling--the curse of photo art on canvas. But while I am working on what I might term the "logistics" of wall hangings, it is good to display some candidates that I might use in an Art Walk, perhaps the next one. I'm not yet sure.
But here are some. They are all roughly 40 inches by anywhere between 12 inches and 17 inches.

Art Walks Upcoming

The last Art Walk, Floral Abstracts, seemed both appropriate and very successful, if the commentary by viewers can be believed.  Even kids with their parents were struck by the pictures.  For our next Art Walk, later this summer, I'm thinking maybe "Cloud Computing".  Here is a grouping of some images I have created of "artful clouds."

Spring is Springing

Spring has begun, even though, as usual, Spring seems hesitant to actually arrive and stay. I mean, it keeps going into hiding just when we arrange the welcoming party. Everything is more or less in bloom, and then the temperature dips down to the freezing level. That's not good. But meanwhile, the flowers keep on coming everywhere. So, I'm beginning to consider a spring line of floral abstracts for maybe the Art Walk in June, or whenever the next one after April 15th is to be. Here are a few possibilities of what I am calling "Floral Abstracts."

Art Walks

Oops . . . turns out the next Art Walk in Concord is April, not May--April 15th to be exact. So, I'm still thinking about possible art for that show. The question is, will I have time to create the art? We'll see. But here are some alternatives to the ones I just displayed the other day. These are different in kind, more showy nature:

Art Walk In May

The next downtown Concord Art Walk is coming soon, as soon that is as the winter has decided that it's over for the year. The following are tentative for that Art Walk.
The first, Gone Fish'n.


The next is a lockhouse along the C&O Canal.


Next, an early beach morning, in black & white, mainly.

The next is a Nova Scotia Lighthouse


Next online is another Nova Scotia coastal shot, early evening.



Next, a scene from Rockport, MA



And last but not least, is an early Morning scene of Seattle.



Check back later. There may be more.

Icy Dreams

Immediately following our first snowfall a few days ago, came the ice. We expected more snow, but got ice instead. If you are driving, or walking, it's ugly, but if, like us, you can stay home, it has been simply beautiful.
