In other news, three of my interior abstract photos (see below) were accepted into the "Alchemy of the Abstract VI" juried art show, which opens tomorrow at the Northwind Arts Center in Port Townsend, WA. The show runs through July 1. <a href="http://marianmorrisart.blogspot.com/">M</a> also got some abstract paintings into the show.<br />

Today I also updated the image in my April 6 post, to improve the cropping from the original square composition.
