This is how I spend what seems like most of my time. We have a large vegetable garden, and even though we have a tough time growing grass in parts of our yard, it grows with great speed in our garden! Drawn from a photo.
this is like one of those illusion things, only certain (very clever?) people can see me in this picture
I wouldn't upload this if there was any choice. I had no time to snap any self portrait this week due to projects, then my poor 3.5 year old got sick.
Pardon the state of my living room....
Absolute Green
recycled visual art by Nghi Vollmer
March 20 – April 11, 2015
Opening Reception: Friday, March 20 from 6-9 pm
As a self-taught, recycled visual artist, Nghi Vollmer breathes new life to disposable paper materials to present Absolute Green, a marriage of creativity and sustainability. Vollmer’s brand of eco-art transforms discarded magazines, cardboard, and food packaging to express a love for nature through mosaic and collage techniques. Each composition has been assembled out of pieces of individually cut-out reclaimed, paper products mounted on canvases upcycled from paper-painted cardboard and foam board.
Her pieces express nature through bold and vibrant colors blended with various forms to capture a mood, a thought, a concept, or a moment in time. Through sustainable design, Vollmer creates a vibrant collection of representational images from recycled-byproduct that she hopes will inspire a green lifestyle in others.
“I hope my work, in some way, will serve as a bridge, connecting and communicating with audiences to generate a dialog that will raise environmental awareness as well as motivate individuals to reduce waste and live a greener life,” she said.
Absolute Green runs from March 20 – April 11. An opening reception will be held on Friday, March 20 from 6-9PM. The evening’s festivities include light snacks and liquid refreshments. Art making in the Make and Take room is free on Third Fridays. This event is free and the public is warmly welcomed.
In addition to the opening of Absolute Green, this Third Friday introduces the Artist Spotlight exhibit at The Scrap Exchange. Each month, The Scrap Exchange, in conjunction with local art therapist Martha Dyer, features the work of an artist whose art tells a story of healing, survival and creative self -expression. The work is displayed on movable walls located inside the arts center. Artists featured on the Artist Spotlight receive 100% commission for sold work. This month’s exhibit will feature bluebird houses painted by artists from RSI-Life Options Artists Co-op with birdhouses provided by Supportive Persons for Residents in Need of Guardianship (SPRING). SPRING, Inc. is a 501(3)c nonprofit; each bluebird house has been built by the Eastern Bluebird Rescue Group.

The Citroën CX is an automobile produced by the French automaker Citroën from 1974 to 1991. Citroën sold nearly 1.2 million CXs during its 16 years of production. The CX was voted European Car of the Year in 1975. The name CX is the French equivalent abbreviation of Cd for drag coefficient in English, drawing attention to the car's aerodynamic styling, which was uncommon in 1974.
It is considered by some enthusiasts as the last "real Citroën" before Peugeot took control of the company in 1976.
Available models were a four-door fastback, a station wagon (break, or estate car), and a long-wheelbase model built on the break chassis. The CX employed Citroën's unique hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension system (Wikipedia).
In today's self-portrait, I'm captured in my element, seated before my laptop, engrossed in work. The scene is bathed in warm Tungsten lighting, enhanced by a full CTO filter on my trusty Godox TT350C (set to TTL mode at -2). To ensure the perfect illumination, I combined the power of a Godox AD 200 Pro (also in TTL mode) with a Nikon SB-28 using optical flash at 1/16 power for subtle fill light. While initially experimenting with just the computer's ambient light, my patience wore thin, reaffirming my preference for being 'behind' the camera.
I'm feeling sad today because my little Belgian Bantam rooster, Marcel, was killed in the night by an Australian native animal, a Quoll, which tends to enjoy eating chooks!
Marcel was a very good companion in the garden, with his little hen, and always pottered around near me when I was outside!
So this is my tristesse en(?) photo, a portrait for today.
