Alternating Current
And here we are in Houston, at a very cool art space called The Silos at Sawyer Yards; it’s an area of old warehouses and silos and etc. that have been repurposed as arts spaces. As it happened, our visit coincided with the monthly Second Saturday event, when studios are open, so we were able to look at art and visit with the artists.
The Silos are part of a larger arts area in Houston – you can read about that right here.
And, if you do have a reason to go to Houston, think about adding this to your itinerary. And if you don’t have a reason to go to Houston, a visit to to Sawyer Yards and all the adjacent artsy stuff is reason enough to plan a visit.

Cyril and Methodius – brother saints
My last stop on the one-day tour of painted churches took me to Saints Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Dubina. I’d never heard of these saints at all until the end of November, when a rambling drive led us to this cemetery near Buckholts, Texas. (Dubina and Buckholts are a hundred miles apart – by Texas standards that makes them “close together.”)
But, anyway, here’s a view of the back of the church looking across to the adjacent cemetery.

PS – In the next couple of weeks, I’ll be visiting another Cyril-and-Methodius church! Suddenly those guys are just everywhere.
The language of the story
I am nearly done with the color images, but this one needed color to tell its story. That red light on the floor reminded me of DNA.
