8th JMCA landscape gallery

8th JMCA landscape gallery

Finalist, Landscape Category - 8th Edition Julia Margaret Cameron Awards - more than 12,000 entries from 57 countries.





10TH ANNUAL BLACK AND WHITE SPIDER AWARDS

10th Annual Black And White Spider Awards Nominee

I was nominated in the Still Life Amateur Category for "Creative Clutter."  There were more than 9,000 entries for this competition.


Understanding the classification of "Amateur" in this and other competitions:  Since, at the moment, I do not earn the majority of my income from fine art photography I am considered as an "Amateur Fine Art Photographer." In other circles, I am considered an "Emerging Fine Art Photographer" --  I do sell my artwork and exhibit in juried exhibitions (live and on the internet) and have won awards.

IMPRESSIONISTS/POST IMPRESSIONISTS - Exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum (SAM)

I am partial to Impressionist (and some Post-Impressionist) painters and was gifted with a visit to the Seattle Art Museum on October 8, 2015 to view their visiting exhibition "Intimate Impressionism."  The paintings are on loan from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. while their wing is being renovated.

The exhibition is wonderful.  The paintings are predominantly from the Mellon Collection.  A short video at the beginning of the exhibition gives an interesting, and intimate insight into Andrew Mellon and his children who were also ardent collectors:  Ailsa Mellon Bruce and Paul Mellon.

The exhibition presents small scale paintings which were meant to be more personal rather than the usual large scale paintings of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.  The paintings from the Mellon selections are drawn from the collections of both Ailsa Mellon Bruce and Paul Mellon. 

Shown below is a sampling of the paintings in the exhibition.  SAM does permit you to photograph many areas of the museum including this special visiting exhibit. SAM also permits the images to be shared for personal use in a Blog or similar online.

The exhibit runs until January 10, 2015.  Contact SAM directly for the times and cost...
