Reflections: Juried Art Exhibit at E3 Convergence, Missoula, Mont. June 3

aMontanaView — Mon, 30 May 2016 01:25:08 +0000

E3 is excited for our summer group exhibit! This time around we asked artists to respond to the theme “Reflections” and the results are an amazing line-up of twenty-two artists with a beautiful variety of 50 artworks plus a selection of coinciding poetry. Some take reflections literally in their physical sense, others explored introspectively, each a hidden gem of the individual’s vision.

Photography on Stretched Canvas by Merle Ann Loman: Fisherman in fog on Flathead River (top photo); Mountain Bluebird (bottom photo)

Artists participating are: Adam Birely, Adelaide Gale Every, Bobbe Almer, Breeann Silbernagel, Diane Olhoeft, Elisha Harteis, Gail Trenfield, Gigi Don Diego, Joan Borneman, John Piacquadio, Karen Hochman Brown, Katrina Ruhmland, Lillian Nelson, Lisa Gibson, M. Scott Miller, Merle Loman, Michael Dinning, Sara Drower, Sky Angove, Solomin Ga-Moo, Stephanie Colley, Steve Woodhouse, and Tom Mueller.

Join us for the opening reception on First Friday, June 3rd, 5-9pm. Awards for best of show to be given at 7pm. Also to be enjoyed is live music by Melissa Forrette, wine and cheese, and a live group painting project of epic proportions! Exhibit will run June 3 – July 30th.

Newborn White-tailed fawn

aMontanaView — Mon, 22 Jun 2015 02:44:07 +0000

June 19 I accidentally almost stepped on this tiny fawn. The doe must have left it in the grass while feeding somewhere else. I snapped the photo and left quickly.
