Coming up August 9th is the Buffalo Society of
Artists Open Members Show. This year’s exhibit is at the Theodore Roosevelt
Inaugural National Historic Site on Delaware Avenue. In honor of ‘Teddy,’ I’m
showing ‘Little Black Boots’. This
assemblage combines a discarded baby photo, acrylic paint, and my photos of
abandoned houses. It’s framed with recycled wood.
This photo reminds me of my grandfather who believed that all
children should wear little black boots. Perhaps because the terrain was so
rough 150 years ago? Perhaps they produced strong ankles? Who knows? Anyway,
Theodore Roosevelt wore them too! Here’s a picture of TR as a boy plus another
vintage picture of children of that era.
The Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic
Site is at 641 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, NY. There will be an Opening Reception
on Saturday, August 9, 2014, from 3 until 5 PM. The exhibit will be on view
until Monday, September 8. The TR
Gallery is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM. On Saturday and
Sunday, it will be open from Noon until 5 PM.
