Here’s another couple of shots of Lotus from last night at Rothbury, great concert!
Lotus was totally jamming at the Rothbury Music Festival last night, and the crowd ate it up. Light sticks were flying through the air, everyone was dancing and there was just an overall great jive in the air. Here’s a link to the Lotus MySpace page, there’s some great music here.
Sherwood Forest at Rothbury 09 is even more wildly spectacular than it was last year. For anyone who was at Rothbury
Music Festival in 2008, I know that may be hard to imagine, but it’s true. There have been additions to the fantasy land. What you’re looking at here is a pine forest that has been TOTALLY tricked up with light, special effects, hammocks and floating objects hovering over the woods.
While I was walking through the woods, I was listening to the comments and pretty much everyone was fascinated. I’ve posted two photos here of the same scene that were taken seconds apart from each other.
I was in Detroit today on business. It strikes me as wrong and sad, that a community this vast, with such strong and good people has so much negative attention focused on it.
There’s also a lot to love about Detroit, they gave us the Red Wings; over the top, spectacular architecture, like you see here at the Fisher Building; warm, interesting, fiesty people who are welcoming and engaging; some of the worlds greatest musical roots; and wonderful ethnic neighborhoods.
Here’s some bloggers with other insights about Detroit.
I know there’s lots more, so, what do you like about Detroit?
On another note, I wanted to thank everyone who stopped by to see me at the Reed’s Lake Art Fair yesterday, it was a great show!
This Saturday, June 20, 2009 from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, I’ll have a booth at the 44th Annual Reeds Lake Art Festival. I’ll have work from my new Enlightened Series, my Essence Series as well as some oldies but goodies. If you buy some of my work, I may even surprise you with a nice little gift with purchase.
The Reeds Lake Clothesline Art Festival is juried and features great artists and is just a nice show to experience. There really is something for everyone and the laid back environment makes it one of my favorites to attend whether I’m buying or selling.
I hope you’ll stop by and see me, I’ll be at Booth #41 on Lakeside Drive. Rain or shine. Here’s a google map link to help you get to the show and find free parking and my booth. The show is in East Grand Rapids, Michigan with artist booths lining Wealthy and Lakeside Drive.
UPDATE: I just wanted to thank the Grand Rapids Press for featuring my work in their article about the show. You can see article here at this link to the story.
The Festival of the Arts in Grand Rapids is a great way to spend this weekend and it looks like we’ll have great weather. This celebration features lots of ethnic food, fine art, local bands on multiple stages, a juried film competition, activities for children of all ages and dance performances. All performances are free thanks to generous donations and lots of volunteers. Festival will be on June 5, 6 and 7. Here’s a link to Upstage Crew’s website.
Memorial Day weekend marks the start of summer as far as most Michiganders are concerned. This is what we’ve been waiting for all winter long, the sugar sand beaches, beautiful cloudy skies, warm wind blowing off the water and clean air that feels and smells like it does when you live on a peninsula surrounded by fresh water. Today I feel like I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
If you grew up in Michigan, you would probably take the beaches for granted because there are so many of them, and they are all special in their own way. This is the beach at Point Betsie Lighthouse near Onekema and Frankfurt. The beach is an interesting combination of sand and rocks. Just a few feet away from where I took this photo is a beautiful sugar sand beach. I can’t wait for summer and HORRORS, taking my laptop to the beach and working there while I’m baking in the sun.
