Last night was the opening at the Longview Museum of Fine Art’s annual East Texas Regional Art Show. I’m pleased and honored to be one of the six artists selected for this show. The opening was very well attended and everyone enjoyed all the artists who were there: Ron Bigony who creates dramatic scenes that instantly evoke a mood with his sharp contrast of color. Angilee Wilkerson who presented a collection of ethereal photographs that honor nature. Budd Dunn’s paintings would touch any animal lover’s heart. Amanda Hancock’s collection of art was yummy, graphic and colorful. Tamara Robertson’s wall sculpture was my personal favorite. The textures, dimensions and materials in her pieces command your attention. They are strong, moving pieces and warrant high artistic praise and the attention of art collectors. The pieces I selected for this show were bright and graphic. People were intrigued with the process I go through to create a piece of abstract art and with the textural dimension that comes through. It’s fun to do something that stretches the parameters of what people expect from photography. A new image Summertime was premiered at this show. Many thanks to the people who attended and who contribute to the Longview Museum of Fine Art. The museum’s appreciation of abstract art strikes a harmonious chord.
