Joke Buursma Out of Repair Everytime when I see a ruin of a castle I get that feel of mystery that hangs around it. No roofs anymore, walls crumbling away, partly overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and there are always lots of crows. Nearby my house is this ruin of a castle, built around 1640. The archives say that it is “Out of Repair”. There are only a few walls left.
SKY GAZING
Guest Curator - Jane Dunnewold
It's a challenge to choose a topic when so many have curated so well. I chose Sky Gazing because it is a fond personal pastime. I was curious what sky images I would find among the posted art quilts. And I was pleased to discover images ranging from daylight to dusk and on into the night.
I am delighted to share a mix of wonderful realistic and figurative works, alongside pieces that are abstractly and creatively poetic. Sometimes the sky is front and center, the most important part of the composition. In other cases the artist's treatment of the sky makes the piece for me.
I hope viewers will enjoy these pieces as much as I did.
