This can be seen in portraits such as Mary Agnes (1924) and Tom Cafferty (1924). By that time, Henri had adopted even more simplified palettes that used only two or three basic colors, trans- forming the portraits into formal studies in color and composition. The time that Henri spent in Ireland was extremely valuable to him (it was the only other place besides New York where he purchased a residence), for only there was he able to focus on his painting without the distractions of life in New York. The periods Henri spent in Ireland were among his most prolific, and the paintings that he produced during his Irish sojourns Work by Dennis Campay among his most accomplished. Just before Dennis Campay’s paintings combine his death, Henri composed a tentative list cosmopolitan cityscapes with an ethos of what he felt to be his most important Mary Agnes, Robert Henri, 1924, Oil on Canvas, that is at once rustic and sophisticated, paintings, and many of the works on this Private collection of Tia conveying an international urbanity.

Elder Gallery’s exhibition will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the Carolinas. “I am drawn to the still life by the way the light falls on ordinary objects, illumi- nating them to draw the viewer into the painting.

Work by Nancy Cook

Charlotte artist Nancy Cook’s fiber work integrates nature, sculpture, color work and women’s work as art. The hand-guided machine quilt stitches create a bas relief sculptural effect of line and texture and hand embroidery stitches add further depth and detail. Her current work Seed Stitches, focuses on tree and plant buds, seeds, and fruit as metaphors for the importance of diversity as a species survival tool. Working directly with collected specimens, Cook’s designs are based on research and sketching what is structurally unique for each species. Cook received her BA from Queen’s College and her MA from Vanderbilt Uni- versity. Retiring from work in the industrial/ organizational psychology field, she began working in art full time in 2001. She has exhibited throughout the United States and Work by Holden McCurry in Europe, winning numerous awards.

The Numbers Game

The more I try and follow the numbers related to our new online newspaper the more confusing it gets. Frankly it defies logic. In April, we had a dramatic drop off in downloads, almost 15,000 less than the month before - yet, and this should be a big YET - there were over 10,000 downloads of previous months’ issues. At times more people were downloading our March and February issues than were downloading the April issue. Just when you think you see a trend, Work by Dee Schenck Rhodes it blows up in your face. I really thought the numbers were going to exceed March I’m not sure what good this is, as it is - which was 45,000+, as on April 1st, not the final image of what the “official” 15,000 downloads took place - almost poster will look like, but I guess it shows 5,000 more than the first day of the previ- the artwork in its “pure” state before all ous month. the festival info is placed over it.

There is something and when on the “official” festival visual in that March issue that is getting a lot of art offerings - just in time to enjoy some people’s attention.

If It’s like with the blogs - one day I can some of these folks didn’t know from past write something which I think is pretty experience that they need to get the word interesting, and it gets normal traffic. On out on their own - if they want it to get out another day, I post an entry which is no at all - we wouldn’t have any info about revelation - and boom - it’s a skyrocket in exhibits taking place during this festival. the rankings. Go figure.
