Artist: Chuck Olson
Artist Statement: “‘Evening Star’ expresses the forces of nature and reveals movements in wind, rock, water, and light in conditions of both harmony and confrontation. An image can have many lives, and “Evening Star” is no exception. It is a painting. It is a lithograph. In Buckhannon, West Virginia it has become a wall. Here, elements of the lithographic version have been reassembled and enlarged to provide a more “heroic” experience of the content. The scale of this installation stresses the emotional forces of nature, far larger than the observer on the street, and presents us with constantly evolving forms. It carries elements that one can easily find in the surrounding hills, rivers, and sky of this community. It also challenges us to recognize, perhaps, the forces of life inside and outside of each one of us.”
A unique church stands on a hill visible from both directions on I-80. The Holy Family Shrine is glass-walled, with supports holding up its 45-ft. tall roof. A man-made stream bubbles along a path cut along the walkway to the entrance and then in the floor of the nave.
For The 100 Block event.
Three editions available and each comes in 7 colors. Swan and Vintage shown on the ad.

Artists Statement:
This painting captures a fleeting moment in early winter, where the landscape is transformed by the low, golden light that bathes the scene. The curving river bank, gently blanketed in snow, is outlined on the one side by trees whose tops glow with the warm hues of the rising sun. Painted in a high-key fashion, the work employs soft, coarse horizontal strokes for the water and a smoothness to evoke the feel of the flat white snowy fields, while the water—rich in greys, reds, and pale purples—reflects the cold light and the dark reflections of the trees, creating an interplay of warmth and chill.
The overall composition is designed to feel ephemeral, as the edges of the scene gradually fade into the surrounding whiteness of the snow, giving the viewer a sense of both the vastness and quiet intimacy of winter. The trees, though delicate in their soft brushwork, stand resilient against the cold, their glowing tops providing a gentle contrast to the more muted colours of the water and the snow.
In this piece, I sought to explore the subtle beauty of winter’s transitional moments, where the harshness of the season meets the fragile warmth of light. The interplay of colour and light, combined with the fading edges, speaks to the transient nature of time—how moments of clarity are often fleeting, but nonetheless beautiful in their impermanence.

Today, 1 October 2018, we are under a Special Weather Statement. A heavy snowfall is likely for parts of western Alberta this week. This morning, it is -2C (windchill -6C) with freezing drizzle in the morning with a few flurries this afternoon. I think the normal temperature for 1 October is around 15C, so we are well below average. Snow tonight, which means I am getting my snow tires put on (tomorrow) one day too late.
"The start of October will look more like the middle of winter across much of southern Alberta this week, as cold air and snow feature prominently in the forecast. After what have already been record-breaking amounts so far this year, more snowfall is on the way for parts of the Prairies, as Arctic air pours down from the north and Pacific moisture creeps over the Rockies. We're looking at the risk for some significant totals this week." From the Weather Network.
My rough plans for 29 September 2018 changed when I saw the weather forecast. I ended up visiting the Reader Rock Garden instead of driving to a different garden. As usual when I go there, it was a bit windy, which always makes photographing flowers, especially ones on long stems, more difficult. It was also overcast and I was hoping that it wouldn't rain. Instead, I found myself standing at the highest point of the garden, with very light snow falling for just a few minutes.

Ethics statement: Photographed from the shore, from a respectful distance, w/tele lens, so as not to disturb the resting otters. @seaottersavvy (seaottersavvy.org) has important otter viewing guidelines and great sea otter information
This pose was part of a playful interaction between mama and her pup, a beautiful thing to witness, with the caveat that I’m super aware of not creating any stress or disruption. Otters already expend huge amounts of energy just to stay warm, and mother otters use that much more to care for their pups. Any extra energy spent to evade or be on alert for humans is energy they can’t afford to spare.
A few mothers with pups were a good distance from shore, enjoying a respite from boat traffic during the time I shot this image.

With the combination of MinifigCAT, TinyTactical, and CombatBrick weapons/accessories I have made my best attempt to recreate Keegan P. Russ, Logan T. Walker, and their K9 companion Riley from the Call of Duty: Ghosts single-player campaign. That lineup however, was not the plan; a couple of months prior to the launch of the game, Infinity Ward released a trailer for their campaign giving us a better look at our Ghost squad. Following Elias’s statement in the trailer “A man who truly loves his country, doesn’t just give his life, he gives his sons.” it cuts to a shot of one of the Ghosts pulling his mask down making it seem as though we were looking at Hesh, who I later discovered was actually Keegan upon playing the campaign.
For quite some time I thought I had been making Hesh, and the problem didn’t even end there, when I played the mission “Federation Day” I also discovered that Keegan had yet to put his helmet on after putting his mask on. Therefore the mask you saw me preview on the game’s launch day was actually Keegan without his helmet (which I was unaware of at the time). I wasn’t going to do much about it until MinifigCAT released quad goggles, which were exactly what I needed to fix this inaccuracy issue. After obtaining a pair, I painted Keegan a new head, and basically completely altered his head’s appearance. While it does still have the same concept as the original, it was now far more accurate. I still do plan on featuring the Keegan’s original mask in my showcase video, as I am rather fond of it despite it being only half of what it needed to be. Now that I’ve explained that, we have Infinity Ward to thank for making Keegan look like he was Hesh in the trailer…
Keegan’s original mask, and Logan’s current mask were made from modified classic Lego Space helmets that I have had left over from BrickFair Alabama 2012, and were not made from MinifigCAT’s ski mask as most of you were speculating. Logan is the only figure here that utilizes CombatBrick accessories, but also contains various Tiny Tactical accessories along with a modified MinifigCAT belt. I was blown away by Tiny Tactical’s quality, and therefore decided to spoil Keegan with a lot of it, the communication kits and mini tac lights are great, I even used one of these lights for Riley’s ear piece. Keegan is sporting a Tiny Tactical Delta Force Carbine with an added holographic sight. Logan on the other hand is wielding a painted CombatBrick PP-19.
I am very satisfied with Riley’s outcome; he became pretty much exactly what I wanted him to be. I decided that he was more deserving of the second metal coil wire that I had left over because his is more visible than Logan’s (if Logan even has one that is). Riley’s webcam has a small lens painted onto the upper area of the attachment, with a couple of different pouches right below it (one is the top of a range finder while the other is from Tiny Tactical). His eyes were completely redone and I added his tongue to simulate a panting effect. The “Riley version” of the SEALs patch on his right side turned out pretty well, and I’m glad it did because it took more than a couple of attempts to get right. Also, his entire vest has a black weathered effect, which honestly completes his look in my opinion.
To conclude all of this, I’d like to address the general accuracy of these figures to their in-game appearance. They were not painted to be completely accurate, but rather to capture the basic concept of the characters.
Anyway, if you leave a favorite be sure to drop a comment! :)
