The 2012 Northport ArtWalk Committee is soliciting Artists for participation in their historically successful Northport ArtWalk scheduled for 3 separate dates from April through June 2012.
The Northport ArtWalk is a self-guided walking tour of the many galleries, studios and eclectic gallery-for-a-day venues centered around and along Northport’s picturesque Harbor and Main Street. The ArtWalk is one of the best ways for visitors to enjoy Northport’s bustling and diverse Art community by bringing visitors to view the Art of established and emerging Artists. The festive atmosphere of Northport will be punctuated by musical performances; live Artistic demonstrations and street decorations as town visitors peruse the Art in restaurants, antique shops, boutiques and cafes that are part of this historic village.
WHERE
Artists will be showing their work in the establishments of Northport Hosting Merchants. Each Merchant has committed to set space aside for the showcasing of the Artist’s work. It will be up to the individual Artists and Merchants to decide if the Art will stay on display after the actual day of the ArtWalk event.

If you want to see a truly joyful Art show go visit the Joseph Raffael show at the Nancy Hoffman Gallery at 520 West 27th St in Chelsea New York. The show will be there until January 10, 2010. Go soon since you might like to go back a second time.
Blossoms and Sky by Joseph Raffael
Visiting this show brought such a burst of the voluptuous joy of color and passion to an otherwise gray day that I was compelled to share it with others.
Joseph Raffael douses himself in his watercolors. His colors flood and pool in the most controlled display of virtuosity I’ve ever seen in this medium. Though in this show his subject matter seems to be primarily flowers, his style is the antithesis of botanical illustration.
As a matter of fact, Elisabeth, my fellow Artist friend and I gallery hopped to this show on the heels of a visit to the ASBA (American Society of Botanical Artists) show at The Horticultural Society of NY. The contrast of two exquisite art forms, both employing watercolor and using flowers as subject, was astounding.
I made a video from some images I took at the show and posted it on YouTube in case you’d like to get an idea what to expect.
For an extra treat I would suggest visiting Joseph Raffael’s website and taking some time to view the meditative videos of him as he paints.
Take a moment to calm down and become immersed in the process of Art. It will make your day. It always does so for me.
I have donated one of my Krinkled Peony Digital/Traditional Mixed Media Paintings to the Huntington Arts Council, annual silent auction fundraiser. This piece is a combination of Digital painting and Traditional Colored Pencils.
The finished mixed media painting is matted & finished in a 16×16″ natural wood color frame.
Bidding is underway at the Main Street Petite Gallery. Almost 50 artist members of the Huntington Arts Council have donated original work in oils, watercolor, photography, prints, diamond and topaz jewelry, silk and more. Bidding opportunities start at $25, and go until 6 p.m. on Friday, December 4.
This is a great chance to own an original piece of art or purchase one as a gift for a favorite relative or friend. Stop by the gallery at 213 Main Street in Huntington, two blocks east of New York Avenue, to see both the art and all the raffle items.

I was pleased to join an international group of digital artists at the inaugural exhibition of the brick-and-mortar physical gallery at MOCA, the Museum of Computer Art, in Brooklyn NY. The show was on display at this new and wonderful space located in Park Slope from Sept 2 – Sept 18, 2008 with a reception on Sept 6th from 4-6pm.
Don Archer & Mary Ahern at the inaugural exhibition of the MOCA:Museum of Computer Art
MOCA was established in 1993 by computer artists Don Archer and Bob Dodson to promote digital art in its various forms and manifestations, including 3-D rendered art, fractals, enhanced photography, animation, mixed media, computer-painted and -drawn art, etc. Many talented artists have given them access to their work, and what you see in their archives and current exhibit are some of the best work that they have solicited. Some of it may be of technical or historical interest, some of it may be innovative and unusual, and some of it may have potential (dare we say it) as high art.
As an online museum, MOCA is host to hundreds of world-class digital artists and thousands of their images, all available for viewing online. It is one of the most heavily-trafficked, comprehensive, frequently-updated and respected computer art museums on the Web. It tries to keep abreast of the latest and best in digital art. Both beginning and advanced artists frequently visit the site, if only to see what the competition is doing.
Visit the MOCA Virtual Museum at: http://moca.virtual.museum and take a look at what’s new in the world of Digital Art.
My garden doesn’t go into the winter season all tidy & neat. I enjoy seeing seed heads popping through the snow. The visual treat of shadows cast about by the wind, dancing along the walls seen from the windows of my warm home. From my dining room window, the seed heads of tall grasses are […]
One of the ways I plan for next year’s garden is to take a look around, make notes & gather ideas from other gardens. This is particularly helpful in planning the fall garden. I look for what plants have continued to hold their own & still look beautiful into this time of year. I avoid […]
