Scenes From The Patient Art Show!

I am skipping "Wordless Wednesday" this week because I was too excited to share my experience at the Patient Art Show Monday night! I had a great time! The staff did a wonderful job of displaying my work. It was so exciting to see it hanging on the wall when I arrived. And even more exciting was when I found out upon arriving that 2 of my pieces had already sold! By the end of the night a third piece sold! What was really special was knowing all of the artwork at the show was created by cancer survivors. There was amazing work on display ranging from photography, painting in oils and acrylics, and even mixed media!

Here I am talking with an attendee sharing my technique for textured photography. And of course talking with my hands! lol

Here I am happily posing with my work!

The show closes tomorrow. Whatever pieces don't sell I will be donating to the hospital. I think it is great that they encourage art as a healing experience. It sure has been for me! I look forward to showing more work next year!

More Newport Pics And I What I Want To Know From You!

As promised I am back with more Newport photos. These I altered in sepia/black and white tones because as you know I love the effect they give an image. The above image is the front of our beach cottage.

Each morning we walked up this hill to the main house for a lovely breakfast from a dining room overlooking the ocean. And the above photo was taken as I was standing beneath those trees.

This last shot below was taken at the Cliff Walk. Lou pointed it out to me. I am glad he did because I think it is a cool shot. And come to think of it I do believe it will make a good photo for a new altered black and white piece!

Now for what I want to know from you! As most of you know I am a breast cancer survivor. I was treated down in NYC at Sloan-Kettering. Each year have a Patient Art Exhibit at the hospital. I attended it last year and it was great. This year I will have the opportunity to exhibit some of my work! I have decided to show some of my photography. I would love to hear your suggestions for photos of mine that stand out to you!
