Placer Arts 30th Jubilee

We returned this mid-week from a short trip to Carmel.  The drives up and back were good, no problems.  The skies were pretty clear but it also got the wind as the rest of the California did too.  Whaddya gonna do?!  Didn't really take any photos that were gallery-worthy, but that's okay.  I need to go out on my own soon to get that done.

As soon as we got back I had several things to take care of in the art world.  I had entered two images into Placer Arts 30th Jubilee and one of them was accepted!  I also attended the award ceremony prior to the actual ArtWalk last night.  My entry didn't receive any awards, however, I did get juried in!  That's an award in itself.  I did take notice of two other photographers who were juried in also.  The one photograph that won in the photography category was a black and white print on metallic paper.  The other one I noticed was a print on rice paper, which I thought was better than the metallic print.  I have rice paper on my list to buy, but I must say it is very expensive and you only get 20 sheets at that for under $400!!  That's another subject for another post!

Earlier in the day I sent to Marketplace of Auburn for its grand opening and ribbon cutting at noon.  Several chamber members were present and of course then had the ribbon cutting ceremony.   That gallery already has 30 artists!  Good for Cynthia, the owner!   

Here's an image from Carmel.  These kids were having a great time out in the wind with their shovels, digging a major hole!
