The 2019 Signature Artists gallery opens Sunday, December 1! This marks Signature's 40th seasonal gallery in the Kalamazoo area. We are at a new location this year at the Carillon Center, 6800 South Westnedge Suite M (next to Qdoba). Doors open at 12 noon on December 1.
The Opening reception will be Sunday, December 8 - stop by and meet the artists.
Here's one of the new pieces I will be exhibiting - Summer Solstice, a digital infrared landscape shot in June.
My photo, Expectation, was accepted into the 2019 West Michigan Area Show, hosted by the Kalamazoo Institute of Art. The exhibit runs from May 17 - August 26, 2019 at the KIA, 435 W. South Street, Kalamazoo, MI, 49007.
Three of the photographs I submitted to the Carnegie Center for the Arts 2019 Regional Juried Arts Competition have been accepted by the jurors and will be featured in this year's exhibit. The selected photographs are shown below.
Based out of Three Rivers, Michigan, the Carnegie Center sponsors this competition for artists living in Southwest Michigan and Northern Indiana. It’s open to works in all media. As an annual event with several years of history, this show always brings out excellent work from the area. This year's show opens on January 20 and will close on February 20, 2019.
The three pieces I submitted to the exhibit are:
A barn near Bad Axe, Michigan.
Spent the last week driving along Michigan's Lake Huron shoreline - which is beautiful. Ran into this barn on the back roads north of Bad Axe while heading up to Port Austin. The sunset was shining through incoming rain (much needed in the area) and created a great luminous effect over the open fields of the thumb area.

Infrared converted Pentax K01 and DFA HD 15-30 f2.8 lens. I bought the lens for full frame use but realized that it is an ideal focal length for use on the APS-C K01. It works nicely!
I've driven past this little dirt road many a time, and always wondered what was there. Glad I took the turn today.

Beautiful spring day with the crops just starting to pop up. On the back roads in Cass County earlier today:
