Bossier’s paintings bring life to sadness in Art Studio exhibition
A woman washes clothes in a tub, her face obscured by a black scribble. She evokes working-class resilience. As she works, words from John Prine’s “Angel from Montgomery” swirl around her — “If dreams were lightning and thunder were desire, this ol house would’ve burnt down a long time ago.” Justin Bossier’s painting “Both” depicts the stoicism of working-class people. Bossier’s exhibition, “The Dust & The Damned,” on display at The Art Studio Inc. through Oct. 23, is a visually energetic and thematically layered collection of works. The images draw on Depression-era American iconography. The figures appear burdened, yet the paintings also incorporate modern street art sensibilities, with colorful, aggressive brushstrokes and scribbled words. Bossier said he comes from a family of welders and pipefitters, people he described as hard-working. He said the show focuses on working-class people. “I think there's just a lot to be said about somebody who goes to work every day and comes home, and just have their family and what they’ve got — that's rich to them,” Bossier said. “It doesn't take money to make you rich. It doesn't take things to make you your life good.” The painting “Question” depicts a couple looking into

Take a slower approach and don't run away from your fish
Take a slower approach and don’t run away from your fish. Fishing too fast is a common problem that many anglers have, especially when the fish tend to gather up and school in big bunches. Saltwater anglers who chase schooling fish along with freshwater fishermen who also key in on flocks of birds over hungry groups of stripers, hybrids, and whites are perhaps the worst. The frenzied activity puts everyone on the boat in high gear often leaving the majority of the water column untouched. It’s a proven fact that smaller more aggressive fish will be the first to attack a bait so consequently the “speed fisherman” may never see what caliber of fish is really down under the surface. Savvy anglers will let a bait get down under the surface melee and are more often than not rewarded with better quality fish.

Beaumont museums team up for month of hands-on events
Did you know that Beaumont has more museums per capita than any other Texas city? “We have 12 museums just in this city,” Desiree Pete, director of marketing at Beaumont Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), said. “There are six that are downtown within a five-block walkable stretch.” More than a decade ago, the Art Museum of Southeast Texas and the Texas Energy Museum teamed up for Museum Madness Day, which featured the art museum’s Eat-A-Bug Family Arts Day event and the Energy Museum’s Dino Day. Five years ago, the other downtown museums joined in to create Museum Madness Week. This year, so many organizations wanted to be involved that the CVB designated October as Museum Madness Month. Christle Feagin, director of the Texas Energy Museum, said the initial collaboration with the Art Museum of Southeast Texas was a way to promote both institutions. “You want people when they come downtown to have as many things as they can to go to,” she said. “If come here only for this and don't know the art museum, it's a perfect draw. You see people outside. It looks fun. It's cross promotion as well.” Downtown visitors on Oct. 17 will find downtown packed
