Passports on Parade- Winner!

Published November 12, 2024

Kareen, the winner of Passports on Parade, decided on the artwork she wanted, and I’m blessed to announce it was one of my works, a Formal photozaic Titled Gateway to Racepoint Beach.

The back story on Passports on Parade can be found here:

Gateway to Racepoint Beach

Gateway can offer up an over welcoming feeling of “come on in”. This scene offers that feeling with a side of warning to those that don’t pay attention to their environment. I don’t mind the locals and will respect their home. If I’m not meant to be in the ocean I will sit quietly on the shore watching a movie of waves play on repeat for my pleasure.

It’s that time of year again when the air is crisp, tanks and shorts are replaced with wool sweaters and knee-high boots, and spiced beverages warm the chilled hands. The start of the holiday season has arrived and Solar arts along with Northrup King Bldg. will have their studios open to the public. What better way to kick off the holiday season by shopping locally handmade artist creations, nothing! Need more? Well Indeed Brewery is located on the 1^st floor of Solar Arts, still not enough? Well Quincy Street is home to various restaurants. So, no more excuses!!!

Guess what time it is…. That’s right! Art-a-Whirl!

Passports on Parade

I call it a scavenger hunt for artists’ stamps in the passport. Why do this? Opportunities to learn about the artist and their visions, see great art, and win $500.00 credit to spend on ACW artwork! I know, AWESOME!

Side note:

My stamp is CheeBah approved! Who doesn’t love a Corgi??

Below are some samples you will see this weekend.
