This week at Remnant Framing I have the pleasure of hosting a unique Valentine’s Day Market. Featuring flower arrangements from OldFrond and original paintings by Bri Zierman Felix. It’s a very satisfying event which has come to fruition and unfolded itself in a natural way.

Anna and Bri collaborated on a vibe for the market and then they executed.

RFjournal 01.10 Summary: WINTER BABY

In this reflective piece, Ryan Diehl shares his personal connection to winter, having been born on the season’s first day. Winter is described as a time of contrasts—cold yet warm, still yet wild, and calm yet full of power. These contrasts inspire both life and art, making winter a unique source of creativity.

The post highlights the upcoming Winter Gallery Reception at Remnant Framing, featuring three talented artists:

• Elizabet Castro, whose landscapes capture the stillness and quiet energy of snow-covered mountains and dreamscapes of Mars.
• Yuri Ozaki, whose candlelit still-life paintings offer warmth and reflection amidst winter’s darkness.
• Matt Bender, whose bold prints of Winter Waves showcase the ocean’s unstoppable power in harsh conditions.

The blog concludes with Ryan’s reflections on winter’s lessons—encouraging us to slow down, adapt, and find beauty in both the quiet and the chaos. Readers are invited to celebrate the season at the gallery reception on Saturday, January 25th, from 5 to 7 PM, at Railroad Room 3B at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment.

In Huntsville, Alabama when you’re asked where you’re from, there’s usually a quick follow-up: Why are you here? It’s a fair question. Almost everyone has a different accent, and no two stories are the same. My own voice, (Valley Boy/Surfer Drawl) stands out like a buoy on flat water. Growing up in Ventura county I spent a lot of time in the ocean and back then, the Pacific swells caught my attention, its rhythm drawing me toward the horizon.
