Michigan's premiere pointillism artist Brian Buck had two more pieces of art accepted into a
Michigan show while "A Tall Drink of Water" & "Can You Hear Me Now?" were still in the
21st West Michigan Regional Art Competition in Lowell ! "3 Salmon At Resurrection Bay"
& "In The Drink Again" were seen at the West Michigan Area Show hosted by the
Kalamazoo Institute of Arts.

     Two years in the making, the pointillism "3 Salmon" depicts a days catch, one of which was an
area record, at Resurrection Bay, Alaska.  The piece measures 16x20 inches
and is made up entirely of dots of ink.
 "In The Drink Again" is a pointillism of a rhino taking a mud bath and measures 5x5 inches, which won
third place last year in the 2006 Lowell Regional Competition.

and were on display.
                                            The Odd Couplings Invitational Exhibition
was held at the Hudson Street Gallery of the Lowell Area Arts Council
from January 3 – February 3, 2007.

The Odd Couplings invitational exhibition featured the diverse work of artists living in the Lowell area
or associated with the Lowell Area Arts Council. The theme of this invitational exhibit, echoing the
title of Neil Simon’s “The Odd Couple (Female Version)”, which was performed by Thebes Players at
The Lowell Performing Arts Center, was an artistic juxtaposition or “odd coupling” in the works of an individual artist.
Each participating artist exhibited two contrasting works, distinguished by differing themes, different styles
of presentation, dissimilar media, or varied materials used in composition. Each pair of works was accompanied
by the artist’s commentary explaining the nature of the contrasts, how they have been achieved, or what they signify.

'Can You Hear Me Now' and 'Tall Drink Of Water' were in this show.
