art, in progress

Lubbock-based artist Kathryn Thomas did a demonstration earlier this month during the First Friday Art Trail. It was fascinating to watch this piece unfold during the evening. And there’s a chance that I *may* have made a nuisance of myself, as I was popping in and out to photograph her at work.

lanterns

It was very cold that night, and most people with sense stayed inside. The light show was interesting but I have to say these lanterns are really kind of boring to photograph, compared to what they’d look like with oil lamps or real candles in them. But still…I had to take the shot.

star vault

This was my favorite of the various light installations at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden’s LIGHTSCAPE tour – it’s a vaulted arch that visitors walked underneath. I particularly like the way the varied spacing of the light strings gives sort of a quilted look to the scene.

not a rain culture

A man wearing a red shirt and a silver bolo tie and carrying a small leather journal noticed me as he stepped carefully through the sidewalk puddles and said, “We don’t have a rain culture here.” And it was just that lack of a rain culture that made a rainy day enjoyable.
