… 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:

  • Karen Eutemey – mixed media & watercolor images, to influence viewers’ way of looking at the world
