London is beautiful this time of year… blooming trees and flowers everywhere… a site for sore eyes, as it was snowing when we left South Dakota! It has been so fun to try on another life this past week: fit into someone else’s shoes for a bit. Exciting to travel and see so much. I don’t think I could happily …
A very big couple of hours: Thank you to all my friends: new and old, who were able to attend! So amazing: people from a variety of places on this earth: I displayed with an artist from Russia and another from Japan… we meet here tonight in London for a common goal: our show!!!
Street Art is not something seen in Spearfish, SD. If it “appears” it is quickly erased! Street Art is what The Brick Lane Gallery is about: and as you look around the neighborhood, it is prolific! Colorful and creative, it is fun to look at, in my opinion, and when it isn’t applied to someone’s private property, it actually ads …
I have always loved the artwork of John Singer Sargent. This iconic painting became a major artwork about WWI. It shows the effects of soldiers, gassed by mustard gas. They are blinded by the gas, and needing to be led by medics. We saw this painting today at the Imperial War Museum in London.
England is in bloom. The wisteria is something novel to me, not growing native in South Dakota. It smells wonderfully! It is near the end of its blooming season already, as the leaves are starting to turn. It has been refreshing to see the green, and be in the middle of all the beautiful blooming trees! .
Street Art. The street atist Banksy has gotten my attention. His work is world famous, and there were three of his pieces in Bristol. I’m attaching the photos I took of his work. Very appealing: funny: ironic… a sign of the times. One spattered with a paint gun offers the dialogue: is this merely a continuation of the basic principle …
A Roman Bath, Bath, England. This city did not disappoint. The restoration is amazing: it was very easy to imagine just what life was like for the early Romans. Pretty cushy for the upper crust… we’ve improved the lot for the average person however! Being around such heritage is a good reminder to realize we are but a spot in …
Not only did Dave and I arrive in London safe and sound, but my art is all here, now, too. So, we can relax and enjoy some site seeing now and kick back for a couple of days. We enjoyed our first night in London: had a meal at an Indian restaurant which was fantastic! We found our timeshare accomodations, …
Looking for signs: I go between believing in destiny and believing we are the masters of our own destiny: perhaps it is a little of both… This image is a detail of a painting I did that involves the Thunderbird as a constellation in the Native American tradition. Looking left or looking right: different omens… life vs. death. Destiny or …
Stepping out… I am on the precipice! HA ready to step into the world of the London Art scene. This will be an incredible experience, and I know that no matter what… something will change. It may be me: it may be how I see the world, it may be how my art is viewed, it may be doors opened, …
