"Buy Me A Coffee" a Made From RI Gallery Announcement by Keith R Wahl

Posted By MadeFromRI on Photography

https://www.madefromrigallery.com - I am writing about something that I do not usually write about. That is me. Well, what I am doing and where we are going.

I, Keith R Wahl, and the photographer for Made From RI Gallery have launched a campaign on "Buy Me A Coffee". It's a support site for a project. Here we only ask for a cup of coffee or two in building and telling you some amazing stories.

The concept is to lead up to a book of photographs and essays about Shoreline and Waterfront life. There are unique stories that need telling. Stories about how people work, play and live on the shore.

Why do cows have bells? Because their horns don't work!

A classic. We found that it was true on the South Kingstown Land Trust's Sculpture Trail in South Kingstown, RI. The bell does indeed work, but the horns do not.

Lovesick Fool by George Rowlands – Music Review

Posted By BlazingMinds on Entertainment

https://blazingminds.co.uk - I check out the new single Lovesick Fool by George Rowlands who comes from Shrewsbury, Shropshire, but has a singing voice very similar to Manchester-born, Mr Liam Gallagher. You can picture George in a parka, with the mic adjusted to be like Liam, and giving that kind of persona. But George is far from being […]

Diving In by Keith R Wahl, Made From RI Gallery

Posted By MadeFromRI on Photography

https://www.madefromrigallery.com - The sculpture "The Feet And The Wave" in Newport has always evoked a whimsical chuckle from me. There is no guilt in the humor. In fact, someone said something to me recently that makes me think that it was a compliment. I wrote a similar blog and a respondent said that it was humorous, "amusing". I thanked the person because that was the purpose, to be amusing.

There is also a serious side to the playfulness of this sculpture. While not an art critic by any means, I can sense the transition of going from air to water. It is always a shock and an awakening wrapped in fun.

Passing this statue as season change seems fitting. The socks that often adorn the feet in winter can come off as we dive into the spring season.

Reflective Flowers In Newport by Keith R Wahl, Made From RI Gallery

Posted By MadeFromRI on Photography

https://www.madefromrigallery.com - Working on the water, I am very accustomed to working with reflections. But on Thames Street in Newport, I had the opportunity to work with another form of reflection. I was able to photograph flowers through a reflective window.

In Physics, we know this as the angle of light incidence is the same as the angle of reflection. In art, viewing through a window is a time-honored technique. Edward Hopper and Nighthawks come to mind.

Coming back to the moment, this is a great metaphor for life in Newport. Looking in at the scene in a restaurant while life continues to move outside.

Uplifting DocksideA crane performing off-season work at the URI Bay Campus in Narragansett, Rhode Island.




It's late winter. The trees are bare. The moorings are devoid of watercraft. The docks and piers are empty. That means that there is work to do.

Barges and cranes brought in for the off-season to work. To build. To repair. To construct. This is the time that we see this type of activity. This is to say, that this activity, this work often goes unseen.

We should see this type of work. We should appreciate what this activity accomplishes. This work enables other maritime activity. This work enables learning and education. This work makes the boating season possible. We should see it. We should respect it. It is a beautiful and creative aesthetic.

Bay Morning Between Winter And Spring by Keith R Wahl, Made From RI Gallery

Posted By MadeFromRI on Photography

https://www.madefromrigallery.com - There is a space in time where one season has not ended and the next has not yet begun. We see the changes occurring first in the air and water.

The textures in the clouds are the first elements indicating the seasonal change. The clouds become more full and start to show a rougher texture. The color of the water is the other element as it changes from a deep blue, almost black, to something lighter.

These seasonal changes happen in phases. The air and the water are the first heralds of what is coming. Soon, in a few weeks, birds will be chirping in the early morning and greenery will start filling in. But for now, the essence of both departing winter and arriving spring dance together.

The sky above reflected in the sheen of water left on the winter snow ringed sands at Scarborough Beach, Narragansett, Rhode Island.

What is different about walking on the beach in winter? There is a ring of snow around the beach. The footprints that we leave are actually booted against the cold sand. There are fewer people. There are different types of seabirds.

But a big difference is the air. The cold, crisp temperature

Snow Covered At Ruins 1View of the Carriage House Ruins at Black Point from Scarborough Beach (in snow).




In the summer, there is a ubiquitous scene at the extreme northern end of Scarborough Beach. That is the ruins of the Carriage House. Some consider, with accuracy, that the ruins are at the southern end of Black Point. Either way, they are part of anyone's Narragansett, Rhode Island beach visit.

Those Carriage House ruins? They are still there in the winter too. It's colder, but they become part of the walk on the beach. Bundled in warm jackets, scarves, and gloves, feet in boots as we walk, the ruins remain.

The view is devoid of the greenery in the background and the Beach Roses in the foreground. The beach life replaced by snow. The snow becom
