Here is the best part of operating your own communications channel, you can pretty much do as you wish. Now, I will tell you that the best big show gallery for artists in Northern Virginia is probably Gallery Underground that features members of the Arlington Artists Alliance, many of whom have studios in the "Underground" in Crystal City. I love them, and artists so much that I started this channel and James George, Art Lover Facebook channel dedicated to writing about them.
I have been busy this summer writing and publishing some books and a journal article on other topics of my personal interest: Sustainable Economics and Politics. Interestingly, I have been welcomed into the world of academic and scholarly writers at Springer Publishing as well as Common Ground Publishing.
(University of Illinois) Common Ground just published a most esoteric paper titled: "Environmental Energy Strategy, An Induced Linguistic Ordered Weighted Averaging Approach to a Sustainable Economy," in the Journal of Sustainability in Economic, Social, and Cultural Context by James A. George and James A. Rodger.
A textbook titled "Sustainable Economics: A Path For Regeneration" by James A. George and James A. Rodger (c) 2015 Springer is now into publication. That could be a blockbuster. Still, Springer has now entertained publishing "How to Select an American President by James A. George and James A. Rodger (c) 2015 Springer for publication ASAP.
Now aside from writing, our daughter is having babies to be born in London soon. So, we will be globetrotting to become doting over "grandtwins" of which at least one is destined to become an artist while the other is destined to become a writer.
"SEPTEMBER SHOWS AT GALLERY UNDERGROUND
Focus Gallery: “Rain of My Soul,” Paintings by Nihal Kececi
Dates: September 1-26, 2015
Opening Reception: Friday, September 4, 5-8pm
Arlington, VA – In September, the Focus Gallery presents paintings by Nihal Kececi in an exhibit titled “Rain of my Soul.” The show explores both landscapes and cityscapes, as well as the artist’s transition between them. She notes: “After moving from Bethesda MD to Washington, DC, the theme in my paintings changed with my environment…in particular, I find pure beauty and magic in rain. The light that reflects off cars in traffic as raindrops hit the ground placed my mind and brush in a romantic place…I started to see the peace in chaos as light escaping the clouds gracefully hits the city.”
