I have not forgotten this blog. I will add new material shortly. Trust me!

August 19, 2012 Brevard, N.C. The new guys on the block are Oscar and Ella (lower).   My, how the time flies!  Much has happened since I last posted, but then again, not that much.   Still at Brevard and loving it.  Deb is working at her business, and I as a photographer.  I still do the BMC shots/photos. I plan on really posting a long update in the near future, but will sign off for now.  Stay tuned!!  John

It's been a long time since I added something to the blog, but it's time.  I am going to try to add a Picasa slide show of the Assault on the Carolinas (4-14-2012).  I love making these shots.  Should have been bicycling though.  May try next year.  Anyway, enjoy.

Ella and Oscar are the new kittens on the block!

Welcome back! It has been a cold and stormy spring here in Brevard. The year has been a busy one ...lots of photos and fun. Molater, John

Today my exhibition came to an end. By all accounts it was a success. Many of my paintings found good homes around the country. I hope to do it again next year; maybe next summer. I am planning a new series of paintings that I will work on in the coming year. I will likely continue with musical themes, but will try some new techniques and directions.

My exhibition has been very successful. I have had many nice comments. Since a few of you wanted to see a few more pictures, I am adding some additional ones. Hope you enjoy them.

Here are a few more shots of my paintings inside the Porter Center. So far, I have had some real nice comments about the exhibit so far.

This week I am excited about my new art show at the Porter Center for Performing Arts on the Brevard College campus. I hung over 33 paintings there yesterday and they will be available for viewing through the summer. They will be seen tonight by a large crowd attending a comedian (David Sedaris) and again by those attending a jazz concert on Sunday. The show is titled Jazz Portraits and represents some of my art depicting jazz musicians and jazz in general. I am enclosing photos of a couple of my creations. I will let you know about its success later. Cross your fingers.

Here is a picture of downtown Brevard. We are located just below Asheville, North Carolina near the South Carolina border. The Blue Ridge is a matter of minutes away.

This is my new blog. I hope to keep in touch with friends and family a little better using it. I hope to post news about what I am up to, pictures, etc. More later. Keep checking back for updates.
