In October we experienced Southern Utah again. This makes for our 5th trip to different locations in Southern Utah these past few months. We had 2 winning photographs in the 2011 Earth Day Photography Contest - please visit http://www.facebook.com/media/set/fbx/?set=a.10150234375317932.366386.135624742931&l=f264c03fc6. This past summer we visited the Oregon Coast. Also, please view our latest Europe trip photos. In Italy we visited the region of Tuscany (Florence, Siena, and small villages), Venice, Cinque Terra, and Rome. In France we visited our favorite city of Pairis. Please view all of these new gallery sections - Southern Utah, Oregon, and Italy/France.

2011 Summary: We completed another very successful year. We thoroughly enjoyed being in the SLC Art and Craft Market in Pioneer Park and the Holladay Harvest Festival. Thanks to all who visited our booth at these two markets. We were also in the Annual Holladay Art Show at Holladay City Hall in October and the Old World Christmas Market in November/December. Other news includes that I, Jo Ann, was elected Co-Chair of the Holladay Arts Council and thoroughly enjoyed the activities we planned. More are planned for 2012. Please visit our Holladay Arts Facebook page and new web site www.holladayarts.com . I also Chaired Holladay Farmer's Market (named Holladay Harvest Festival) This market turned out to be a very successful community event.

Creative plans this year include painting our mats and frames either in mixed acrylic paints or rusting the frame to compliment the photograph and painted mat. We are also printing more on canvas and painting over our photographs. We believe the results have turned out great.
