Society: First Thursday Art Walk marks August with vacation vibe
It was a hot night in August, the month many associate with a last-ditch vacation. And it seemed First Thursday's Art Walk in the Historic District of Downtown Clarksville caught the vibe, metaphorically speaking.
At Mildred & Mable's, owner Andrea Herrera passed out cool wine-a-rita cocktails to a parched crowd. Also beating the heat was Kendell Welsh, manager of ARTifacts Emporium on Strawberry Alley, who gave guests popsicles, sweet tea and cold water. Her featured artist, Jennifer Reverri, addressed the oh-so-summery notion of world travel with photos taken during travels throughout Europe and the U.S., as did another photographer, Theresa McCoy.
McCoy, who was featured at Ingredients, the gourmet food and cooking supply shop on Strawberry Alley, caught the crowd's imagination and perhaps hidden fantasies. Her show documented the year she traveled the globe. She visited countries including India and Africa, documenting her travels with a 5-pixel camera. The photos were on view for curious guests, who had many questions. One was whether she would do it again.
"In a heartbeat," she quipped.
At Downtown Artists Co-op, travel was also a theme, albeit of a more domestic nature.Painter Nada Fuqua documented many places of beauty in the United States in his show "Landscapes, especially," which consisted of over 30 works created in oil or pastel.
At the framer, 705 N Second Street, there was a different kind of travel with the inner journey taken by the artist Athena Workman mixed-media-Jenigan in the show "In and Out with the old." Its incredibly personal pictures, some taken with a camera of the iPhone, documented his life unraveling when her husband had a midlife crisis and filed for divorce after nearly 20 years of marriage. A notable image, "Fat and Forty," in black and white, was that of her rounded, naked stomach, across which these words were scrawled: "I thought he left because of this."
"This body of work was hard for her to show," said Framemaker owner Glenn Edgin. "I respect her for putting her work out there."
At Austin Peay Downtown Gallery, it felt like a vacation; the downstairs portion was darkened, an unusual respite for the usually busy space. "Free Fall: A Sampling of Work from APSU Visual Communication Alumni," a group graphic design show was held upstairs.
Among the other stores and galleries, which continue to grow in number, Gabrielle Bomar, an Austin Peay State University student, showed her photos at Fleur de Lis. Reisa Peters' work in oil and pastel was featured at Hodgepodge. At Rogate's, Gabriele Wardeiner showed her designs of trees created from pencil, watercolor and mixed-media. At The Roxy Regional Theatre's Peg Harvill Gallery, the photos of Richard Pugh were on display. And the L&N Train Station had its usual familiar artist-author formula with a reading from author Carolyn Ferrell, and a show by mother-daughter artists Mary Lou Baggett and Paula Edwards.

The bumps on the lower stem are places where the plant would grow roots if that part of the stem were buried. The lower leaves are probably yellowing because of a lack of fertilizer, a common problem when tomatoes are grown in containers.

Funny you say that. Just the other day, I thought I heard something behind me when I was in the garden, then when I turned around, one of the strawberry plants was kind of swaying back and forth, like if something had brushed by it… then I ran into the house and locked all the doors and windows when I heard this: "If you build it, they will come." I don’t want to go back out there anymore.
LOL Yep, when they start sending out runners, at first you’ll be like "Oh how cute". Then after they send more, you’re like "I should root these and have more plants". After a few years, you’re buried up to your nipples in strawberry plants and it gets to be more like a strawberry horror movie and the Beattles song "Strawberry fields forever" starts playing in your brain and you’re wondering if you can make it to the car before they catch up with you and send runners into your ears!!! LOL
Yeah, I didn’t know that when I bought 10 plants back in April from Walmart, I have like 20 plants now, they keep having babies and I am out of room! I thought these things died in the winter and had to be replanted, but I found out thru a forum that the first year you put them in, they only est themselves and grow, you don’t get serious berries until year 2, 3, etc. I thought they were more tropical, but they are actually hardy. I’m glad they like to be crowded, I have too many plants now.
