The juried art show at the Lucile Parker Gallery on the William Carey University campus is a beautiful event to see, even though the opening reception was COVID-cancelled. My Blue Ghost-Quilted Flowers won a second place ribbon, which was very satisfying. The Best of Show winner, Jo-Ann Adams, came up from Poplarville and we toured the show one afternoon last week. The show is open 1:00-4:00 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays through September 23.

Today is the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and Hurricane Ida, another Category 4-5 storm, is scheduled to hit the Louisiana coastline later today. We are 150 miles from the eye but are expecting 5-10 inches of rain and the threat of tornadoes.
Meanwhile, the Black-(or Brown)-eyed Susans, Lantana, Big Blue Liriope Muscari, and coleus still provide beauty as they struggle to survive the high 90s heat every day of August.
Congratulations and sorry the show opening was COVID cancelled :-(
ReplyDeleteSending you thoughts of safety and dryness during the pending hurricane!
Thanks, Tierney. The show is really lovely. And having a fiber art piece win a ribbon among all the other media is quite affirming. I hope you can see the quality of these entries.
ReplyDeleteHoping Hurricane Ida doesn't get any worse than the rain we've had all day, but we're prepared; schools, offices, city services closed tomorrow. Louisiana getting slammed and 100,000+ without power.
