Glimpse of solace: Wicklow and Glendalough in Ireland

09/28/2016 By Ellen Beals 2 Comments

I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Ireland. We headed south from the airport in Dublin to Wicklow and Glendalough. I had been there 36 years ago and it rained and rained. The weather was much better this time. Here are some of my photos from our first day. Thanks for looking at my photos -- Ireland is so beautiful that I took a million pictures . . . Peace, love, and solace   … [Read more...]

September break, summer photos

Happy September! Labor Day weekend is here and summer is over.  Hope you have fun in store for you this holiday. My writing groups are resuming and I have manuscripts due. Summer has provided me with lots of time to play and socialize but I haven't been very diligent. So, I am taking a few weeks off--a staybbatical, so to speak.

Glimpse of solace: Looking down

Today I came out of the library to find there was a cloudburst; one gray cloud in a blue sky sprinkled down. Am I crazy to notice this pattern of the raindrops on pavement? I don't know, but I thought it was kind of cool. … [Read more...]

Glimpse of solace: Kerry James Marshall at MCA

07/25/2016 By Ellen Beals Leave a Comment

Tuesday I had the most pleasant afternoon, spending it on the fourth floor of the Museum of Contemporary Art, taking in the art of Kerry James Marshall. The “Mastry” exhibit goes to September 25. I watched the short video of Kerry James Marshall. He spoke about the Old Masters, how he studied them. He couldn't help but notice how the Black Experience was absent (invisible) in these works.
