Art Exhibit "Rhapsody in Green"

Friday, October 9 at 8:00pm is the opening of the art exhibit presented by www.groenehartkunst.nl (Green Hart of Holland Art). The theme is entitled Rhapsody in Green. You will be dazzled by this exhibit of multi-disciplinary art, amateur and profession. The show runs until November 1 and is located in Nieuwkoop, Zuid-Holland. My entry is below:



Title: Fallen Tree (Gevallen boom)

Motivation: Standing at the edge of the meadow, I'm moved by the harmony of willows and grassland. The fallen tree interrupts the calm. The winter is cold and lonely. (Ik sta aan de rand van het weiland en ben bewogen door de harmonie van de weide en wilgen. De gevallen boom stoort mijn rust. De winter is eenzaam en koud.)

Technique: Digital photograph with applied Photoshop techniques.

Sometimes we need to lose something in order to appreciate it.

Summer Festivals in Rotterdam: METROPOLIS!

I finally made it back to one of the greatest rock festivals of new-comers in Holland and I didn't take my GOOD camera. It was too hot, too heavy and I would stay only briefly. Wrong! Here are a few impressions with the point-and-shooter.

Michael Jackson, may you rest in peace...

In Memoriam to Michael Jackson who made an impact on our family. You meant so much to Daniel and us all.

Those who know us know why.

This is my work.

These are my photo posters from the exhibit: Muskrats and Canals.

Muskrats and Canals, an outdoor art exhibition in the Krimpenerwaard, Holland

The KrimpenerKunstWaard art association held its first exhibition, located in Achterbroek, Berkenwoude in the Krimpenerwaard, which is about 15 km from Rotterdam. The area is lush, green with meadows, waterways and farmland. In the midst of its beauty live muskrats who are not natural to this habitat. They thrive on the grasses along the water's edge, causing it to weaken and recede. This art project is to assist in the awareness of the muskrat as a menace. It also brings attention to this very unique environment, the Krimpenerwaard - located between 2 rivers, the IJssel and the Lek, where biking, hiking and canoeing are also popular among visitors.

Series of Colorful Muskrats by Judi Lubeek

Tonight was the opening of our local outdoor art exhibit. The theme is "Muskrats" and "In the Canal". I entered 3 posters, which I don't even have a picture of (yet), a muskrat collage and a really cool series of funkymuskrats, which have been photoshopped. The last piece is the only one I have a picture of so far (above). The other photos will give you an idea of location and creativity.





Even the cows were fascinated. A tractor pulling a bandwagen - yes, literally, a wagon with a musical band on it - was heading our walk down the country road and thru the meadows. Everyone introduced their own work and this was followed by a poet reading one of his poems about nature and the pastoral life. Our tour lasted more than an hour and was fascinating, as well as refreshing.

Second comment

My first post was on Thursday in the wee hours. Now it is afternoon and I'm trying to work with this medium. I will be posting photos, artwork and comments--once I get the hang of this thing.

So to all of you out there. Until we meet again.

Rough Draft

This is the start of a new form of communication from my side. I've read hundreds of these things, and now it's time to start one of my own. I don't have a plan yet, but I will let you know what my intentions are in the very near future. So please stay tuned and hopefully I will provide you with some amusement.

Until the next time,
Judieye!
