My herbs aren’t doing so well, but the African Violets in their little nook in the kitchen … wow! 😉

… it was this photo of sunlit branches by the Charles River that was selected by the jurors. 😉 A framed print will be appearing in the Riverside Gallery’s 3rd Annual Juried exhibit, “African American Artists – Passion for a Lifetime – 2014”. I hope if you’re in the area you’ll drop by the opening reception on Sunday, October 26th, 3-5 PM. I’ve seen some of the other selected works and it is a beautiful and stunning mix of media and themes. The show will run through January 2015.
Other artists in this show include:

I have an unofficial postcard club of 5, 6 and 7 year olds. It is mostly a quarterly mailing of nature-themed images. I have offered to hand the postcards to my young friends but they seem to like the idea of a handwritten note, a stamp applied, and the piece of paper traveling around the world (so to speak) before winding up in their mailbox, addressed to them specifically. I have told the older ones that one day soon I expect a note in return. 😉

If you follow this blog, you know how much I love producing postcards of the stained glass windows at Trinity Church in Copley Square. Of late, I’ve been focusing my attention on the painted walls. Expect a future post about the original paintings orchestrated by John La Farge in the late 1800s and later painting done over the decades during various renovations.

This postcard is of St. Paul on the west porch of Trinity Church. I especially love the reflection of the church in the glass of the neighboring John Hancock building. This postcard is now available at the Shop at Trinity Church.
