================================================================================

GUEST ARTIST, May/June: Jodi OʼConnell

Off Track Artʼs current guest artist, Jodi OʼConnell, is a Carroll County painter. An art therapist

for many years, Jodi now devotes her time to decorative painting and wall murals. Her true

love is to create art. Many of her paintings are of the beautiful, ever changing landscape

around her, and how light effects subject matter found in nature. See and enjoy these quiet

and colorful paintings before the end of June.

GUEST ARTIST, July/August: Virginia Sperry

Off Track Art in July is proud to present an installation of sculpture and photography by Virginia

Sperry. Virginia is a local sculptor and photographer. A self-professed dumpster diver, she

delights in finding objects that have lived beyond their primary use and combine them to create

cool sculptures. Welding steel is the latest of her artistic passions. Virginia has been welding

since 2003 when she took a metal fabrication class at the Maryland Institute College of Art. "I

like to think that I am glueing with lightning." Her sculptures run from abstract to figurative, with

a life-sized giraffe being the largest piece she has finished.

In addition to three dimensional sculpture, Virginia is intrigued with photographing unusual

things in her life. "Computers and digital technology have turned photography into instant

gratification. Because my sculptures can take several months to finish I enjoy being able to

take and download photos in the blink of an eye."

Virginia lives in Eldersburg with her husband, two dogs and two cats.

OUT and ABOUT:

Westminsterʼs fun and popular Art-in-the-Park happens on Saturday, June 5, 10 AM - 4 PM.

Look for artists of Off Track Art who will have booths there this year. Offerings include jewelry,

paintings, prints, photography and more, by Kevin Dayhoff, Charlotte Laslo, Mary Decker,

Susan Williamson, and Melinda Byrd.

Linda Van Hart during May & June is living on a working llama farm (www.lamahof.com) in

central Switzerland, sketching and taking photos to assist in a new line of pin designs. The

renovation to her studio should be complete upon her arrival home to begin sculpting the new

works. June 11-13 Linda is wait-listed for The Mountain Heritage Show in Harper's Ferry.

Linda,the Visual Arts Coordinator for Common Ground at McDaniel College, invites you to

check out their classes at www.commongroundonthehill.com. She is teaching “Reticulation

and Hot Connections,” week II afternoons. Her article about Reticulation was published along

with pictures of her Savannah and Harriet Tubman series, and containers by her mentor, John

T. Fix, in the Spring Metals Guild of Maryland Newsletter. She is on the Board of Directors of

both Common Ground and MGM.

Linda will display her metalsmithing and jewelry at The Roots Music and Art Festival, July

12-13 at Carroll County Farm Museum.

Lindaʼs mixed media collage and metalsmithing on display at The Rice Gallery on McDaniel

Campus, July 4-16. Selections from her collection of jewelry are available at Unique Jewelry in

Westminster.

================================================================================

Gail Elwell’s work can be seen at the Blue Elephant Art Center, 4A West 5th St., in Frederick,

MD. The exhibit, "Addiction and Art," features the Artists and Editors from the critically

acclaimed book and runs from June 19th to June 27.

Cathy Sawdey provides another reason to visit Frederick. Cathy shows two of her drawings

as part of the regional juried exhibit at the Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center in

Frederick, Md., on display June 5 through July 18.

OFF TRACK ART Bids Farewell to Melinda Byrd:

Melinda will be missed by her partners and patrons, both for her wonderful artful offerings as

well as her professional and creative spirit. Best of everything to her as she continues her

work in other venues in the area.

Below is her message to everyone.

Dear Friends of OTA,

I am sad to say that as of the end of June, I will no longer be a partner of OTA. I have mixed feelings

about this decision as I have made many close friends here over the past 16 months. Yet during that

time, I have increased the number of galleries and shops who represent me as well as in the number of

commissions I receive for custom work...not to mention the list of projects I want to do when "I can find

the time." It has simply boiled down to determining how many hours there are in a day and how can I

best accomplish the goals at hand. Please know that I am still here--in the community--and available to

create art for you, and I welcome your company at Byrdcall Studio in Woodbine (by appt.

410-549-4889). Please keep in touch. Email me if you'd like me to add you to my studio email list so

we don't loose touch. Byrdcall@aol.com or www.ByrdcallStudio.com.

My last days on duty at OTA are Tuesday, June 15 from noon to 6 PM and Wednesday, June 30 from

noon to 6 PM. Please stop by to learn more if you are in the area.

I know OTA will continue to grow and thrive as creative ideas are implemented each month. I look

forward to continuing to be a #1 fan of Westminster's only artists' coop. See you around!

Sincerely,

Melinda Byrd

Struggling with alcoholism and his emotionally tangled relationship with his ex-wife, the actress Jennifer Stone, Stone tries to make a new life for himself in Paradise.

Razor Sharp

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26hW13kqIhU

sliding into the vortex
holding on to core building walls
unstable seeping down through the crevice

i've been here before

creeping down through the crevice
i've seen there before
fragile these teeth are razor sharp
been through been through the vortex
dissolve and disintegrate

icicle the river is deep underneath
is all you see
draws you in from near or far
take me down through the crevice
i'm not here anymore
creeping down through
come in through the crevice
been through walls leaving it all
into been through the vortex
and i'm so insoluble feel unstable
in at the core searching
through for perspective what your looking
for these teeth are razor sharp
these teeth are razor sharp
razor sharp sharp
feel unstable feel unstable razor sharp fragile

A few of the reasons I am not attending the Preakness today.

A few of the reasons I am not attending the Preakness today. And a few reasons I’d like to attend.

May 15, 2010

By Kevin Dayhoff http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/05/few-of-reasons-i-am-not-attending.html

Not withstanding the above picture, a few of the reasons I am not attending the Preakness today… And a few reasons I’d like to attend. I mean it is on the “A” list of Maryland - Baltimore must-attend cultural events.

Check out “Preakness infield through the years,” in the Baltimore Sun: http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/horse-racing/preakness/bal-preaknessinfield-pg,0,7196896.photogallery. It is a great photo spread.

Ah hem, well, this is not the staid, curmudgeon Preakness – or publication of H. L. Mencken, now is it. I guess that is a good thing – or a whatever.

Oh snap. Ya know, I'd head on down to the Preakness, but I don't seem to have a hat for the occasion.

The bikini contest pictures start at picture number three… Okay, moving on… This looks a Steffenesque view of the Preakness. Photograph number 6 - - Reason number two I did not go to the Preakness; I don't have the legs I never had.

There are perp-walk pictures sprinkled throughout the spread. Seems some folks in the past have misbehaved in the Preakness infield festivities. I’m shocked I tell you, shocked I say.

Me, I liked the hat pictures. No seriously, I really like the horsey-set fashion and hat pictures… Check out picture 33 might be my favorite – among many favorites.

The pics of the U.S. Navy's parachute team, also known as the "Leap Frogs,” are fun.

And yes folks, the day is a veritable sports lollapalooza. The pictures of the volleyball match in the infield start at number 23, followed quickly by some great pictures of ZZ Top. Picture number 29 is pretty cool.

Oh, how sophisticated… No further comment on picture number 49.

The few pictures starting at number 51 appear to portray someone who is hoping to get a Darwin award… The horses are on the track. Some of the horses’ asses may be found in the infield.

Another "Running of the Urinals" pic at 64.

Seems Westminster folks have figured somewhat prominently in the Preakness infield festivities in the past.

In picture number 67 “Aimee Gable of Westminster downs a vodka, cranberry and peach schnapps concoction supplied by Peter Perrine of Lancaster, Pa., on the infield at Pimlico Race Course. Several friends took turns at the spigot on the morning of the Preakness.” I wonder if Ms. Gable gave her Mom a copy of that picture for Mother’s Day?

Picture number 68…Oh, nevermind.

Picture number 80, ugh, just ugh.

Katie Hutchinson may be found in picture number 86 from May 17, 2008.

Between you and me, the photographs are technically and artistically quite good. A news photographer can only take pictures of what they see… I’ve love to attend the Preakness some day if only to take a bunch of pictures. As for the infield, I’m no longer as young as I never was.

1. Artist takes large view of Carroll

   Thursday, March 4, 2010 1:47 pm

   Walter Calahan is a big man with a big smile and an even bigger laugh. It only seems natural, then, that his solo show in McDaniel College’s Rice Gallery features large-format photography.

2. Art speaks in public spaces

   Thursday, April 8, 2010 12:00 am

   

   Some public spaces feel cold, unfriendly and even forbidding, while others are warm, even in the chilliest weather, and welcoming. Art is often what makes the difference.

   

3. Cezanne sensations on display

   Wednesday, March 10, 2010 8:17 pm

   

   There’s a television commercial for a popular candy treat that exhorts you to “Get the sensation.” Paul Cezanne could relate, I think. “To paint from nature is not to copy what is objective,” he said. “It is to realize one’s sensations.”

   

4. Photographer takes large view of Carroll

   Thursday, March 4, 2010 12:00 am

   Walter Calahan is a big man with a big smile and an even bigger laugh. It only seems natural, then, that his solo show in McDaniel College’s Rice Gallery features large-format photography.

5. Where ability matters most

   Thursday, March 18, 2010 12:00 am

   

   At The Arc of Carroll County, “ability matters most.” And for the next two weeks, you’ll get a chance to see just how great that ability is. The “Art of The Arc” opens this evening at the Tevis Gallery in the Carroll Arts Center in Westminster, featuring works created by participants in many of the Arc’s programs.

   

6. Art goes to the dogs in Westminster shop

   Thursday, March 25, 2010 12:00 am

   

   I admit it. I like clothes. A lot. I also like to shop. Great combination unless you’re my bank account. I also like to shop local, so I haunt establishments in downtown Westminster that sell funky threads, making sure I always know what’s new.

   

7. In the Arts: McDaniel exhibit will make you think

   Thursday, April 1, 2010 12:00 am

   

   Brain scans. Dandelions. Frogs. Hexagons. Roadkill. Body image. Odd characters. Eating disorders.

   

8. Student art moves fast and furious

   Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:00 am

   

   The first warm days of spring mean a couple of things on the McDaniel College campus. Students shed cold-weather clothing and shoes in favor of shorts and flip-flops. And student art starts appearing in the Esther Prangley Rice Gallery, fast and furious. Every two weeks there’s a new show.

   

9. Junk is art waiting to happen

   Thursday, April 22, 2010 12:00 am

   

   What do you do with old paint cans? You know, the ones with just a little bit left in the bottom, all cracked and dried, color long gone covering the sides.

   

10. Industrial city embraces its style

    Thursday, May 6, 2010 12:00 am

    

    I love Glasgow. Folks are often surprised to hear that. It’s a gritty city, industrial, working class, no pretension.

    

11. Glasgow Boys broke all the rules

    Thursday, May 13, 2010 12:00 am

    

    They were young. They came from the wrong city. They didn’t want to do things the way they had always been done. They had their own ideas about what made good art. They called themselves “The Boys.” The art world called them “The Glasgow Boys.”

    

12. Artists work between light and shadow

    Thursday, April 29, 2010 12:00 am

    

    If you saw the Edward Hopper show in D.C. a while back, you know he speaks in light and shadow. He tells stories, highlights, hides, creates mystery, builds tension and sets a mood. Hopper would be intrigued by the seven artists whose work is in “Between Light and Shadow” at the Carroll Arts Center.

Former governor back on the stump

By Bryan P. Sears Posted 5/12/10

http://www.explorebaltimorecounty.com/news/106226/change-desire-compete-fuel-ehrlich-2010-bid

The sign in Bob Ehrlich's corner office reads, "No Whining."

Four years after his only political loss, the Republican former governor has decided to rejoin the political fray, challenging his political nemesis, Gov. Martin O'Malley.

He announced his intention to run April 7 at a rally in his boyhood home of Arbutus. Since then, he has criss-crossed the state, most recently speaking at a GOP spring convention in Ocean City.

Just an election cycle ago, Ehrlich was telling listeners of his newly christened radio show that Maryland had changed.

5 things you should know before dating a journalist

http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/05/5-things-you-should-know-before-dating.html

Tags: advice, life, media

This list is inspired by ProBlogger's "Top 5 — Group Writing Project." I've had this list in my head for some time, based on personal experience with the pitfalls of relationships (and there are soooo many) and watching my friends. Perhaps a new JACC workshop?

So, you’ve been eyeing that smart, attractive journalist you’re lucky enough to know personally. You’re intrigued. Your journalist is smart, funny, confident. Visions of Clark Kent taking off the glasses and ripping off his clothes to reveal a perfectly toned body in blue spandex coming to save you run through your head.

Who can blame you? Journalism is a sexy occupation.

But journalists aren’t like the bimbos you usually pick up at the bar. Nor are they the assholes you ladies continually fall for. No, journalists are different beings (which is why you’re attracted to them in the first place), and you should realize — before jumping in — that this isn’t going to be a run-of-the-mill, boring, lame relationship you’re used to.

Here’s what you need to know:

The Tentacle: Spellbound by Salvador Dali by Kevin E. Dayhoff March 25, 2009

Happy Birthday Salvador Dali

The Tentacle: Spellbound by Salvador Dali by Kevin E. Dayhoff March 25, 2009

Last month I enjoyed a bit of respite from Maryland’s winter by visiting Florida. Finding myself within reasonable driving distance of St. Petersburg, I jumped at the chance to visit the Salvador Dali Museum.

Located on the waterfront in Barboro Harbor, it is the “largest collection of Dali’s work outside of Spain,” according to Peggy McKendry, the assistant to the director of the museum.

The museum, which opened in a renovated marine warehouse March 7, 1982, is the home of 2,140 pieces of Salvador Dali’s art, including 96 oil paintings and eight huge master works.

This collection began in Cleveland, OH, in 1942. Collecting Dali’s art was the lifelong passion of industrialist A. Reynolds Morse, and his wife Eleanor Reese Morse.

[…]

In recent years, I have visited art museums – from San Diego, Salt Lake City, Anchorage, Boston, Washington, and Baltimore – and I found the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg to be one of the friendliest exhibitions I have ever seen.

Everyone from Ms. McKendry, to the extremely knowledgeable docents, and even the museum guards went out of their way to make sure you knew that the museum was there to serve, entertain, and educate.

Such accessibility is critical if you are to have a meaningful experience exploring 20th century contemporary art – especially the work of Salvador Dali.

[…]

While I was doing some additional research on Dali, after I visited the museum, I had the great fortune to talk with Dan Twyman, the senior art consultant for the “Salvador Dali Society,” in Redondo Beach, CA, the owner of the website, http://www.salvadordaliexperts.com/ and a volunteer expert for the website http://www.allexperts.com/ in the fine art category.

George Washington racks-up $300k in overdue library fines

Posted 5/10/10 by Carroll Eagle By Kevin Dayhoff

British Broadcasting Corp. is reporting that archivists in New York’s oldest library have uncovered a surprising borrower with overdue books.

It has been recently revealed that on Oct. 5, 1789, our nation’s first president, George Washington, borrowed two books from what was then the only library in Manhattan, the New York Society Library.

According to BBC, on Oct. 5, 1789, a time when New York City was serving as our nation’s capital, Washington borrowed the “Law of Nations,” a dissertation on international relations, and Vol. 12 of a collection of transcripts of debate transcripts from Britain's House of Commons.

Now this in itself may not be earth-shattering news. However there is a catch. ...

It appears that the books were due a month later but they were never returned. GASP!

At the moment, the overdue fines for this lapse, by the president who never told a lie, have grown to $300,000 in the ensuing 220 years.

Lawrence Weiner tames the volcano

Timing is everything and Lawrence Weiner’s, it seems, is impeccable. His formative work in the 1960s was a series of controlled explosions in the California desert. Now at the age of sixty-eight, and during the life of his current exhibition at i8 Gallery in Reykjavik, the artist’s past is catching up on him courtesy of nature.

Planned for months and having opened at the end of March, the show seems to make prescient reference to the eruption of the now-infamous Eyjafjallajokull volcano, 120km southeast of the Icelandic capital. Made up of a series of Weiner’s wall and canvas based text and graphic-led works, the sloganeering statements seem to egg on the eruptions: “To The Limits of Its Voltality” the main wall declares. As this photo of Weiner, taken in front of Eyjafjallajokull after the opening of his show, indicates, the artist is pretty pleased with the coincidence.
