I have one photo in this year’s Ellarslie Open at the Trenton City Museum in Cadwalader Park, Trenton, NJ. It’s my panoramic shot from Mercer County Park, taken last November. It’s stitched together from some 6 or 7 separate shots and there’s so much data that I could print this photo much bigger, but here it’s about 30 inches long.

I’m very happy to announce that one of my photographs was accepted into the 27th Ellarslie Open, a juried exhibition that runs from April 25 through June 14. The show is located at the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie Mansion, in Cadwalader Park, Trenton, NJ, and there will be an opening reception on Saturday, April 25, from 5-9pm. My photo is “The Road Ahead”, one that I first posted on the blog a couple of months ago.

[Update:  I'm happy to report that this photo received an honorable mention award in the category of Digital Photography from juror Dr. Helen Shannon.]

This Sunday is the opening reception for the March group show at Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville  (32 Coryell St, Lambertville, NJ).  Unlike most previous openings, this one takes place on a Sunday afternoon, from 2-6pm. This month’s theme is Madness, “an exhibition exploring chaos, passion, and general craziness,” mostly not related to basketball.

I’m exhibiting four paintings and two photographs.  The paintings  include Affordances, Figment, and a recent completion, Points of View:

Among the photographs I’m exhibiting is “Crazy Roots”, taken in Central Park several years ago:

Although this pepper from my garden went awry culinarily, aesthetically it brought a lot to the table…

Okay, this isn’t really an art-related post, but I loved the title   This is a photo of my humble garden and the weather event yonder.
