I will give notice when the article is scheduled to be published.  The Mardi Gras exhibit at the Mobile Museum of Art is comprehensive, overwhelming, and fabulous. We took a beach walk to see the remains of old kiln sites and a beach littered with pottery shards from the 1800s.  Some o...

I couldn't help taking photos of the murals and standing art around Camp McDowell during my recent guitar workshop weekend. Nothing more to say except it looks like fun, and I know the kids that did it will never forget working on such big and bold art work.
