From caring for his Doberman Pinscher and min-pin to shooting out on a gun range, Robert Duncan is a cowboy with one hat but many talents. Jeff Ross Photography spent the afternoon with Robert and his wife Donna and their son Cody in Fallon, Nevada. We learned a few things about gun safety. And respect for large Dobermans. Robert will be in an upcoming issue of Military Spouse Magazine , which features spouses of active duty service personnel.

Get down to Sierra Arts this week before they take down Joan Arrizabalaga’s show “Take A Chance.”

From Sierra Arts website

Take A Chance, an exhibition with a gambling theme by artist Joan Arrizabalaga, opens the 2011 exhibition series at the Sierra Arts Gallery in downtown Reno on January 10.

A native Nevadan once employed as a wardrobe mistress for Harrah’s Reno, Arrizabalaga’s work draws inspiration from the casino atmosphere of our region in both theme and materials. Framed mixed media pieces feature the playing card royal court engaged in games themselves, and sculptures that appear to be a hunter’s trophy heads from afar are created using dice for horns and green game table felt for skin.

“I like the familiar faces of the playing cards for my characters because they are subconsciously recognizable even out of context.” Arrizabalaga stated.

“I am interested in how people are involved with temptation, risk and winning.” she said. “The use of certain symbols, talismans and behaviors to realize our expectations is fascinating to me. This activity is present in everyday life and seems to go well beyond the more straightforward casino world. Everything can be a gamble and I see everywhere the use of the magical world to gain success, help us win or keep us safe.”

Local author and client, Catherine Oaks released her first book today on Lulu. Catherine asked us to do her portrait that is the cover for her book. Here is a brief description from the online publisher that is distributing the book.

This book is about life and love. It is also about the courage to dare to live without boundaries and to learn how to bounce back no matter what happens to you. Through events the author lived and some analysis of societal and cultural trends, you will be exposed to new perspectives that will help you turn the negative events you are facing into positive outcomes. From dealing with the harsh realities of divorce to learning about hormonal challenges and living through bankruptcy and foreclosure, the author writes with a tint of humor that will leave you with a smile on your face.
