Chevy Chase Art Fair Cancelled
This year this outdoor art fair organizer had been planning to conduct an inaugural art fair in Chevy Chase... but:
Greetings Applicants,
Thank you for your recent submission to The Chevy Chase Art Festival that was scheduled to take place on September 21st & 22nd, 2013. HAE has a full show ready to go however, we are not receiving the support and backing that we require from the venue in order to make this a successful first year show. Therefore, we are moving the show to Legacy Village in Cleveland, Ohio. This is a very successful, well-established location in which we have been producing "Art in the Village” for the past 23 years in June. If you are interested in applying for this show, you may do so through zapp.
We will gladly refund your application fee or if you are an active artist with us, we can credit your account. Please email Jacque@ArtFestival.com with your response. We appreciate receiving your response in writing no later than July 1st, 2013.
Thank You.

A little gray
The last time that I had a beard it was all black.
So this latest one, after a few years in between, has a little grey/gray.
People keep asking me why are you going a beard in the summer?
Who knows? Oy Gevault!
Beards have a way of deciding when they want to come out...
I've got a feeling that this one will not last very long as no one but me and Little Junes seems to like it...
Cough, cough...

Looking for a Art Restorer
I have a collector friend who is in desperate need of a qualified art restorer to restore a photo which has been attacked by mold from the verso.
Both art conservators that I've used in the past have moved to Florida and this lady would rather deal with someone local... send me an email if you readers recommend someone...

Sarah Hood Salomon at Photoworks
I am going to start the review of this very attractive photography exhibition by Sarah Hood Salomon by scolding the gallery where it is being staged: Glen Echo Photoworks.
This is 2013, and for a gallery to have such an outdated website as this one is... is unprofessional and bothersome. Today it was featuring a show that closed last March... tsk, tsk.
That's a shame, because Glen Echo Photoworks is one of the jewels of our area's art scene; with their exhibitions, classes, talks, etc. they are a giant part of not only our photography scene, but also of our arts tapestry in general.
To make matters worse, the photographer's website was also failing to load (using either IE or Firefox).. when it rains it pours...
On exhibition are 24 color photos that use camera motion and slow shutter speeds in order to "compress transitional qualities of light into one image." What they do accomplish is the delivery of sensually beautiful images that once again impress upon me what a gifted photographer can deliver.
The first photo that we see is "Sunset at the Chesapeake." It is an explosion of color and cool, fuzzy vertical lines that transform the landscape into a surreal beauty and a new version of the Chesapeake.
"Winter Winds" is so well done that it almost explodes in front of your face with the whooosh of a storm, while "Man in Brown Suit" and "Odd Man Out" are both a little ghostly in the way that the figures have been shaken.
"Outside Dr. Ong's Office" is perhaps the best example of what this photographer can accomplish with her technique. I found this image to be a riot of color and almost an eulogy to string theory within a cyclone of warm colors - staying on the brainy theme, "Rt. 27" perhaps gives us an unintended insight into either the way that the Big Bang may have looked like or what the end of the Universe may look like.
It's all about color.
All of the pieces were also professionally presented and framed in museum mats to full conservation standards and priced really, really well; they were a steal at $325 framed and $225 matted.
