Ah, it’s Friday, but is that a sigh of relief at the end of the week, or a new breath to gain energy for all that can be done over the weekend? With Affair of the Arts complete, I am looking forward to another art show that is a lot of fun. If your weekends [...]

We had a beautiful day yesterday for Affair of the Arts. It is fun to see familiar faces year after year, and we hear many compliments about the quality of the show and the beauty of the venue. The Shores of Turtle Creek is such a sun-lit, expansive place, so perfect for an art show. [...]

It might as well be in Spring Grove, Illinois. This Sunday us locals are putting on our annual art show, Affair of the Arts, at The Shores of Turtle Creek. We started this show because we were wanted a quality show with a higher level of artistic ability than the typical “craft show”. We called [...]

The Art of the Land Benefit at the Starline Factory Gallery in Harvard this past weekend was a first class event. The caliber of art was high, delicious food abounded, and I think the Land Conservancy of McHenry County pulled in some well-deserved funds for their cause, helping protect over 1800 acres of McHenry County’s [...]

The weather on Labor Day here in the Midwest was a sharp and cool reminder that summer is fading. I am always melancholy at this time of year, reluctant to give up summer warmth. I found something in the art world news that does brighten my day, though. SOFA is coming in November! SOFA, Sculptural [...]

Since its inception in 1991, The Land Conservancy has been active in helping to protect over 1800 acres of our local prairies, wetland and woodlands. This is [...]

Our summer skies this week have been cloudy and pouring rain. I thought my internet was down yesterday as a consequence, and then found that I had a loose plug. Was wondering why my email would jump in for two minutes then quit connecting. The J. Paul Getty Museum (just north of L.A.) has an [...]

Art critic Roberta Smith, from the New York Times, started an interactive Venice Biennale reader, featuring works [...]

I have several pieces residing in a gallery in Janesville, Wisconsin. Raven’s Wish just relocated to a beautiful, spacious, old (is it historic? not sure) building in the downtown area. The Grand Opening was held this past weekend, and visitors could enjoy refreshments and view artwork in the new location. Owner Alicia Reid also operates [...]
