Final Friday: Crescent Colors
Reception Friday Nov 26, 6-9PM
Our November group art show will be a display of both color and muted tones as we traverse the seasonal change into Winter. As the color drains from our vegetation and nutrients move inward toward the earth we grab onto one last display of color. Under the crescent moon our 6 local artists will display their works for us to reflect on what we will take inward as the cold approaches.

Derald Carlson
hi, i’m derald carlson. I made my scribble prints with an ipad and apple pencil. My website is www.MassSt.com . if you would like one of my long prints, you can email me at deraldart@hotmail.com
My mother’s father’s brother made his living taking pictures on glass plates and printing with sunlight. They are still in great condition today. I remember one he did of him playing checkers with himself. In 1942 my father had a movie camera and projector. He filmed us kids and family gatherings. I would show these to my friends from an early age. I took and developed all the pics of our high school annual. I did black and white reel to reel video in the 70’s when it was first available. I had a portable (35lb) color video when it was available. I did prints direct from video and copied with color xerox before computers were available. I;ve made thousands of different picture note cards over the last few decades, laminated letter size prints and 4×6 glossy prints.
The prints in this show are 47”x8” on epson luster photo paper. Printed on a canon G620, 6 color photo printer with cannon inks. I would like to thank Kali Deno and Be Moved for making this show possible.

Dan Phelps
I use art to convey concepts and express feelings I find difficult to articulate with words: unseen forces, the flow of energy, the dance of light & dark, the cycles of life & death, the harmonious balance of growth & decay, ecological interdependence, symbiotic relations (mutual benefit through interconnection/ shared strength through equitable use of resources), illusions of separation, perceptions ofreality, deeper states of awareness & consciousness, transcendence of time & space, mystical exploration, the shared breath of theuniverse, spiritual connection, creative expression, inspiration, enchantment, harmony, love. I especially like commissioned pieces, as it feels like a collaborative process. Choose your shape, size, subject matter, color palate, etc. and I’ll create something unique for you. Sliding price scale or trades are available. Dan Phelps ielphelps@gmail.com Guest artists: Irie Phelps (11) & Raven Phelps (7)
