Mom's Internet Premiere




I finally attended my show reception at Davidson County Community College last Tuesday after being postponed due to hint of snow the previous Tuesday. A different crowd of college students, artists, and a few members of my family filled the hallways of the opening. I always enjoy sharing stories and hearing positive comments about my work.
My wife stayed at home sick but I took daughter who enjoyed seeing my mother and stepfather. My mother stills my thunder by being featured in the Lexington Dispatch and on DCCC's website. My mother does not even understand the concept of the internet.
I enjoyed talking with fellow photography instructor and featured artist Benita Van Winkle. She also enjoys photographing her community and heritage. She also does traditional book binding with her photography. This is something I hope to achieve myself.
My cousin Sherry, who works with Bob Timberlake, came to see my show and treat us to Lexington BBQ. She told me Bob is going to try to come by and see the exhibit. Maybe one of my pictures will become a famous painting.

Here are links to the two websites about the opening:

Davidson Show Opening


My show at Davidson County Community College will open on Tuesday, January 20th, from 4-6:00 PM in the Mendenhall Administration Building. 17 of my prints are on display through May. Several other artists will also have their work displayed. I hope to have a good turn out. A lot of my family is from Davidson County and Rowan County. This will be the first time a lot of them will see my work.
