“A good photo is a good photo regardless of the gear used to take it. A person’s skill, knowledge, and eye is what will make photos worth looking at.”
I love taking photos and I used them on my posts constantly. I am by no means a professional photographer. I am one of those “point and shoot” ones. Photos create memories, they tell a story and at times words are really not necessary.
Every second Saturday of the month MOSAIC, sponsors the self guided art and gallery tour from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. It is a time to visit and mingle with participating artists, get to know them up close and personal, and enjoy a culinary treat. It is an art stroll.
MOSAIC”s mission is to promote art awareness in the Rehoboth Beach Area. For more info. and to check the map, please visit http://www.mosaicrehoboth.com.
This coming Saturday, December 13th, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., the Rehoboth Beach Museum joins MOSAIC ARTwalk, hosting an opening reception for Delaware Beach Life Magazine 2014 Photography Contest Winners. This is an exhibit of the winners for 2014 photo contest. Delaware Beach Life magazine opens this photography contest annually to all amateur photographers. The contest for 2015 will have a due date for entries of July 1, 2015. For more info., please visit http://www.delawarebeachlife.com/photography/photography-contest.html. Remember that the photos must capture life, here, at the Delaware coast.
The exhibit will run through February 23, 2015. The Rehoboth Beach Museum, http://www.rehobothbeachmuseum.org, is located at 511 Rehoboth Ave., right past the canal bridge, when entering Rehoboth Beach. It is also next door to the Visitor Center. The Museum is open Monday and Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Admission is by donation. More info? Please call 302-227-7310.
The exhibit is small but strong. The 13 award-winning photographs were chose from among more than 300 entries. Their images captured the many forms of life on Coastal Delaware. The judges referred to the contestants’ photographs as creations of vivid moments.
Terry Plowman, the Editor and Publisher of Delaware Beach Magazine stated: “This year our entrants captured a variety of compelling views, as they skillfully combined color, composition and creativity.”
So if you live in the area, or are visiting, stop by the Rehoboth Beach Museum, to see how this popular beach resort started and how far it has come.
Have a great day…..too chilly for shopping!

Shops, restaurants, hotels, B & B’s, theatre, entertainment, galleries….The Boardwalk…the beach. Just a stroll away; shop local, stay awhile.

I went to Confucius, which is located at 57 Wilmington Ave., in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Danielle and Shawn, the owners, were there, as usual. Great couple; they make you feel very comfortable. This is one of those restaurants that is very aware of customers with food allergies. Will go out of their way, and will substitute or make you something special. They are open year-round and it is a favorite with Rehoboth Beach residents. Website? http://www.confuciusrehobothbeach.com.
I had tonight a dish that I have had several times. Always delicious…The whole black seabass, fried till crispy, topped with honey vinegar sauce…a bit spicy too.

Art is so subjective. You might not like what I like and vice versa. But, I do enjoy visiting art galleries and museums. I just did that, some weeks ago in New York. The MOMA, modern art, oh yes, did not understand a lot of it but interesting to say the least.
Sometimes something catches your eye. That’s exactly what happened on Saturday when I was walking on Baltimore Avenue in Rehoboth Beach. I was going to take a picture of the location where the Clear Space Theatre Company is now located. They are at the old Epworth Church building, now renamed Celebration Mall.
Right on the courtyard and to the side, color caught my eye. There was a sign on the door, Juleez. It was an art studio. So here is what I found out.
Juleez is located on 20 Baltimore Ave., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-227-3792. The website is www.juleez.com.
The artist? Julie Borden. She was not there but I spoke to Guy.
Juleez is a member of MOSAIC which is an association of privately owned commercial art galleries whose mission is to promote art awareness in the Rehoboth Beach area. If you would like to know about them, please visit www.mosaicrehoboth.com.
You could not help but smile; there was color everywhere. Whimsical, definitely not boring.
Her work is all custom, from her signature curvy piano and piano plates to giclees and hand painted bags. All conversation pieces and very unique.
 Her own national brand 
Her piano pieces are beautifully custom painted; some are music boxes and some are jewelry boxes.
The same goes for the painted musical instruments. At times, an instrument, dear to someone’s heart will be brought in for her to paint. Upon inspection, she will do that, as well.
At the present time a lot of her work is in Wilmington, Delaware at The Grand Opera House & Baby Grand, 818 N. Market St., Tel. 302-652-5577. Website www.grandopera.org.
Wilmington is hosting Art on the Town as part of the Delaware Valley Artist Exchange. For more information, please visit www.WilmingtonDE.gov/artloop.
Julie Borden attended the Rochester Institute of Technology and to date has completed more than 700 commisioned works of art.
Commissioned work is one of her strengths and does this year-round for clients all over the U.S.
 Painted Chocolate Frames Her mother does not stay behind either. At the gallery in Rehoboth you can see some of her work, under Mad Creations. She works with dichroic glass which is one of the most expensive glass products made today. It is used in jewelry, and in the laser industry for camera filters, by NASA and other commercial applications.
Each piece is as special. Some pieces are smooth to the touch; others have more texture.
I thought the gallery was so interesting and Guy was very friendly and helpful.
At the present time Juleez is open Wednesdays through Sundays. So, if you are in Rehoboth stop by. Remember, it is that time of the year; shopping for the upcoming holidays.
Have a great day….talk to you later….
