My talk and class at the Cherrydale Library went well.  I currently have two pieces in an exhibit with the theme “Paper” at the Falls Church Arts Gallery, the “Chess Set” and the “Hide Us“.  

The Falls Church Arts gallery staged an exhibit entitled “Light and Dark” – a photography show.  I entered the maximum allowance of three pictures and, much to my surprise, they were all accepted.  These were all pictures I had done myself, in the days when I had my own darkroom and equipment.  From rolling the film to printing the resulting pictures, I loved it all.  Two of those photographs are on the wall behind me, and as of this writing, the top one has sold.

Here I am at the opening of the Falls Church Arts show, with the theme “Vivid”.  The picture is a silkscreen I did a while ago, in a class I was taking.  The biggest crowd I have seen came to the opening. 

Here I am at the Falls Church Arts gallery show, “Flora and Fauna”.  My accepted entry is a pen and ink study of a snail.  I created it in an illustration class I took some time ago.  So yes, I can do some types of traditional art.   Photo by Judy Ortiz.

It was created for the upcoming Walanka on-line exhibit “Tikveh” sponsored by the American Guild of Judaic Art

It was then accepted to the show “All That Glitters – work by the Society of Gilders” at the Polasek Museum in Winter Park Florida, where it was sold.
