Melinda Byrd: Byrdcall Studio Summer Update

Labels: , , , , ,
Melinda Byrd: Byrdcall Studio Summer Update
Greetings Friends, Fans, and Art Lovers,
Wow! Summer has definitely arrived, but I don't mind. I am already on the summer routine of playing with paints in the studio with a healthy mix of walking the dog and weeding the garden. I hope you are enjoying each day as it comes, too.
I want to tell you about four things in this email update. (Remember, if you ever don't wish to be on this email list any longer, simply email me back asking to be removed...I respect that.) Please forgive me if you receive more than one of these...I need an administrative assistant to keep me straight.
1. My Art Show Schedule for 2010 (pending acceptance to each)
Since I met most of you at art and music festivals and shows, you may want to make note of the following dates and locations where I hope to be displaying my work. Please contact me before any show to confirm I'll be there or to request that I bring your favorite "whatever" for you.
Saturday, June 5, Art in the Park, Westminster City Park 10 AM - 4 PM
I've been at this show every year for the past 11 years--rain or shine. GREAT SHOW! I'm displaying all my hand-printed shirts as well as many woodcut and linocut prints, and oil paintings, too. Please come by my booth. This year the show is bigger than ever. All artists will love to see a good turn out, so come if you can. And it's Free!
Saturday, June 12, Gunpowder River Art Festival, Monkton, MD 11 AM - 8 PM
Keep cool by the River. The event will be held on the Gunpowder River in historic Monkton, Maryland. This event, sponsored by the Northern Baltimore County Art Foundation. A great venue and a first time event. Check it out.
Saturday, August 21, Hot August Blues, Oregon Ridge Park, Cockeysville, MD
(Note: featured artists include Keb' Mo', Lyle Lovett, Black Joe Lewis and more!)
This is a big outdoor concert lasting from noon til dark. Read the web site for details. Best prices for tickets if you buy early online. I've been going for about 7 years and the weather has always been good--but HOT. Wear a hat. Come say hi to me and buy a shirt!
Fri. and Sat. Nov. (26 and) 27 BazaArt at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore
This is Thanksgiving weekend ... I'll send you another update by then. This show is Fun, Fun, FUN!
December 4, Holiday Mart, Glenwood, MD (formerly in Columbia)
If you only go to one Holiday Art and Craft show, this might as well be it...It's huge, it's juried...Get all your shopping done in one venue. More details to come, just mark your calendar.
2. Become a Fan of Byrdcall Studio on Facebook
I am just starting a "page" on Facebook called Byrdcall Studio. I'm posting photos of the art work I am working on or just finishing just for the fun of showing off. I'm not really sure how all this Facebook stuff works, but I think if you click on the link below, you'll go to that site. You can click on "like" or "add to my page's favorites" and hopefully you'll get an occasional (weekly?) update on what going on in the studio...like classes, projects, weird things I'm working on, and some very nice things I'm working on. Try it. Leave comments so I know you are there. Let me know if it doesn't work. ;-)
3. New Endeavors on the Horizon
One of my goals for this summer is to work more closely with the galleries and shops who represent my work, and to be more timely in creating commissioned work for customers. One difficult decision I made is to leave the partnership at Off Track Art in downtown Westminster at the end of June. I am sorry to not be part of the only Artists' Coop in town. It is growing and changing every month. Let's all keep in touch with OTA as they host bi-monthly guest artist receptions and feature completely new work every six months.
Because you are receiving this email, I know that we can stay in touch. You know where to find me...by email, by phone, though my web site, make an appointment to come by the studio anytime convenient to us both (which will be LOTS of time!), and now you know how to find me at shows in the coming months.
My work is also represented at the following venues. Check out these businesses and "Support a Starving Artist."
Art Partners in Clarksville, MD http://artpartnersgallery.com/lets-frame-it.htm
ArtWorks and Apparel Boutique on Main St. in Westminster http://www.facebook.com/pages/Westminster-MD/Artworks-Apparel-Boutique/135956256383
The Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center in Frederick ... http://www.delaplaine.org/Programs/GiftGallery.aspx
The Howard Conservancy in Woodstock, MD http://www.hcconservancy.org/
Magnolia House in northern Westminster off 97

4. In case you missed this last time, check out this 6-min. video of me creating a Woodcut print from start to finish! It's on YouTube now.
This was fun! Every other day for over a week, photo-journalist Ken Koons came to my studio to document how I create a woodcut from inspirational sketch to design, carving, and printing. This will show you what goes into the prints that many of you proudly wear on your shirts as well as have framed for hanging on your walls. Click on this link, and then click on the top button that says "May the Wind..." Let me know what you think of it! I'm printing lots of shirts with this design...want one?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2hguBvmZb4
Thanks for reading all the way to the end. Hope you enjoyed the update.

Many thanks for allowing me to share my little world with you.
Warmly,
Melinda

oil paintings of Guest Artist, Jodi OʼConnell. Closing Wednesday, June 30th.

OPENING: Mark your calendar for an
opening reception at Off Track Art as we
celebrate the sculptural and
photographic works of our upcoming
Guest Artist for July-August, Virginia
Sperry. Meet the artist at the reception:
Friday, July 9th, 5:30 - 7:30 PM.
Starting July: The artists of Off Track Art

================================================================================
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.

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

Labels:

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.

Labels: , , , ,

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.”

  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

    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

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

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:

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.
