In View of the Smokies
On Friday night, the residents minus one- Martina is in Moscow- attended the opening reception for the exhibition In View of the Smokies: celebrating 75 years. Karen Green put the exhibit together. It showcases local photographers who capture the Great Smokey Mountain National Park. Large scale panoramas, views from vistas, and intimate moments were all a part of the 75 piece exhibit highlighting the work of 15 photographers. There was a great turnout for the opening, complete with Maxine's spread of Appalachian food. What a beautiful show- and we are so lucky to live in the midst of what this work represents.

Congratulations!
Congrats to resident alumni Alicia Boswell for her inclusion in Metalsmith magazine's juried exhibition in print- Saturated: Color and Metal. Two of Alicia's brooches were included, they each measure 2.5 x 1.5 x 1", and are entitled Parthenogeny (l), and Salient (r).

The Garden
It was a hot day to work on the little patch, but worth it. Finally a new layer of mulch was added and some areas turned with extra soil. The creeping strawberry and succulents were reined in a little to make room for a hopeful crop of autumn lettuce, spinach and chard. The new rose bush is doing really well and I think Magda and Damon's sculptures are enjoying the summer.
