Photoshop Abstract Whirlpool
The Northwest Cultural Council will host an Artist's Reception and Poetry Reading on Saturday July 17, 2010 from 1:00 to 3:00pm. Admission is free and refreshments will be served.
The artist's reception and poetry reading will be held at the Arlington Green Executive Centre located at 2101 S. Arlington Heights Road, Arlington Heights, IL.
I will be attending the artist's reception and am looking forward to the opportunity to meet both those interested in my art as well as the other artists.
Unlike my last art exhibit at the Arlington Green Executive Centre Gallery, which consisted solely of abstract computer art, this time my works are space art and astronomical art.
The art exhibit is a part of the Northwest Cultural Council Corporate Gallery Exhibition Program. The Northwest Cultural Council's Corporate Gallery Exhibits reflect a wide variety of media, artistic expression and vision of the artists. Artists with work on display in the art exhibit are:
| Betty Morley | Arlington Heights |
| Mirella Scully | Mount Prospect |
| Min Ja Lah | Schaumburg |
| Carl Jalowiec | Palatine |
| Beverly Miotke | Roselle |
| Claire Vogt Wally | Barrington |
| Gail Baar | Buffalo Grove |
| Joan Brinkworth | Arlington Heights |
| Jim Plaxco | Schaumburg |
| Irene Oleksiuk | North Barrington |
| William Dunn | Arlington Heights |
| Robert Cobb | Rolling Meadows |
| Deanna Goldberg | Buffalo Grove |
The art currently on exhibit at the Arlington Green Executive Centre will remain on display through August 2, 2010. The art can be viewed Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturdays from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.
All art in the exhibit is for sale with a percentage of the sale price being a tax-deductible donation to support the activities of the Northwest Cultural Council, a not-for-profit community agency bringing visual art, music, dance, theater, poetry, and their unique "Kids Meet Art" program to the northwest suburbs of Chicago.
In addition to the art exhibit and the artist's reception, there will be a poetry reading. Poets reading their work at the reception are:
| Angela Narciso Torres | Glenview |
| Kathleen Kirk | Normal |
| Patricia McMillen | Oak Park |
| Virginia Bell | Evanston |
| Steven Schroeder | Chicago |
| Maureen Flannery | Evanston |

So if you're in the northwest suburbs and are looking for something to do, I suggest checking out the Northwest Cultural Council's Artist's Reception And Poetry Reading.
The Art – Photoshop Abstract Whirlpool
Titled Photoshop Abstract Whirlpool, I created this piece this morning to serve as the illustration for this post. Strange to believe that I used as a starting point a photograph I took of baggage transport carriages at O'Hare Airport. The final piece seen here was created by using a combination of Photoshop filters, layer blends, layer styles, and adjustment layers. Isn't digital wonderful!
