Whangamata Beach, NZ.
Though a gloomy evening - brilliant getaway with Sarah..always
Poem inspired:-
Whenever I'm down
Whenever I'm blue
There's a place that's sound
Where ever with you
One day spent alone
One day spent at rest
No thought of a phone
No thought of a quest
As one in peace
As one in heart
Escape or release
Together with art
On our second visit to the Booth, we saw two current exhibitions. One featured the recent acquisitions from the last two years and the other was a room full of huge, distinctive portraits by Bulgarian born Ross Rossin from his recent tour of the American West.
The world’s largest permanent exhibition space for Western art is in Cartersville, Georgia at the Booth Western Art Museum.
Open since 2003 and located just north of Atlanta along I-75, the Booth is the largest museum of its kind in the Southeast and an Affiliate to the Smithsonian Institution. At 120,000 square feet, the Booth is an architectural wonder – designed to resemble a modern pueblo and constructed from Bulgarian limestone. The Booth’s permanent collection of Western art, Presidential portraits and letters, and Civil War art allows visitors to “See America’s Story” – the land, people, struggles, dreams, and legends – in paintings, sculpture, photography and artifacts. Sagebrush Ranch is an award-winning, hands-on experience and interactive children’s gallery.
Western art in Georgia, specifically Cartersville? Booth Museum was started by a family who call Cartersville home and have been Western art collectors for many years. It was their wish to share their art with the community, particularly young people who might not otherwise be exposed to art. The Museum was named for Sam Booth, a good friend and mentor to the founders of the Museum. Booth Western Art Museum is operated under the umbrella of Georgia Museums, Inc., which also includes Tellus Science Museum, Bartow History Museum and, coming soon, Savoy Automobile Museum.
Since opening, more than 3/4 million people have visited the Booth. As the buzz surrounding the Booth continues to grow, so does the Museum’s accolades, including being named the 2016 Escape to the Southeast Travel Attraction of the Year by the Southeast Tourism Society, 2016 Reader’s Choice “Best Western Museum” in America by True West Magazine, listed among “The South’s Best Museums” by Southern Living, top 10 ranking in “30 Must-See Art Museums In The U.S.” by thecareerartproject.com, and one of “5 U.S. Art Museums to Add to Your Bucket List” by thedailyquirk.com.
The Booth’s permanent collection covers more than a dozen galleries, showcasing legendary artists such as Frederic Remington and Charles Russell to contemporary masters Howard Terpning and Andy Warhol. Unique to the Booth, the Millar Presidential Gallery displays a portrait and original hand-signed letter from each U.S. President, George Washington through Donald Trump. Supplementing the permanent collection are several temporary galleries, hosting 10 to 12 exhibitions per year.
In addition to “Seeing America’s Story” in our galleries, visitors can experience American heritage through several annual events, plus lectures, programing, and exhibition openings. Each February the For the Love of Art Gala Weekend features live and silent art auctions generating funds needed to help support the Museum’s mission. Every March the Southeastern Cowboy Gathering features traditional Cowboy food, music and poetry. October brings the Southeastern Cowboy Festival & Symposium with Native American dancing, gun fight reenactments, art history lectures, a Western marketplace and much more. The museum also welcomes visiting artists and scholars to speak at twice monthly lectures and exhibition openings throughout the year.

A graduate in art history and visual arts, Catherine Bolduc is interested in the fabulous and exotic. Her artistic approach plays simultaneously with illusion and disillusion. She creates her works by delving into childhood memories, literature and the many trips she has taken to Turkey and Asia. Escape Attempt was inspired by a storyline from the famous futuristic novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (1894-1963): having encountered nature's immensity, the heroes Bernard and Lenina are unsettled by what they discover, which stands in stark contrast to their controlled and predictable world. Bolduc's installation reflects the literary work's two realities: at first we see a mysterious, sublime landscape in cast shadow, then make out that it results from light projections cleverly arranged on to everyday objects.
Bolduc's landscape flirts with still life, inviting a double reading, between light and shadow, of regular objects imbued with poetry and mystery. Similarly, in his Still Life with Shells and Coral (1640), Jacques Linard devises a setting composed of curiosities from the sea in a studied manner, much like inside the study of an avid collector. Still lifes were very popular for their moral and intellectual meanings in the seventeenth century. Coral - considered mirabilia, or marvel of nature - was thought to repel the "evil eye". Its blood vessel-like shapes symbolized Redemption through the blood of Christ. Linard contrasts the spiritual (with the coral) and the temporal (with the pearly shells suggestive of luxury and sensuality).

Don't forget to look up. A group of older Japanese ladies didn't notice this until I pointed it out.
"Yes I like Pina Coladas
and getting caught in the rain,
I'm not much into health food,
I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
and cut through all this red-tape
at a bar that's called Brimstone
where we'll plan our escape"
