"You look like the clean cut kid that went to college too from a Dylan song (Bob Dylan's Dream), Dean. Drizzling rain in Hamburg and temperatures of 13 centigrades right now."

"Cold and raining here in Old Orchard Beach too. Remember, colors running together isn't always a bad thing. 104F! No wonder I've avoided Vegas."

"Well, at least he probably fit on the only thing in there that could pass for a bed. Too bad he couldn't land a more modern cell, but this one does have the shabby chic look going for it."

Oscar is indeed one of my all timers. Glad it got to you. Had fun doing it. Thinkin of you as I worked. I'll bet Maine is coming alive about now.

I thought we were friends already too. Well, we were, but we just didn't know it? Looked over your blog in detail and I just love your work. Wow!

That vehicle was called "Schienzep" by the locals which was an abbreviated word combination of Schienen (tracks) and Zeppelin:

I think some people still keep it somewhere for nostalgic reasons.

That railroad ain't in use any more. The former station that  looks like this now:

I used to go there with my mother when I was five years old and we hopped not on a train but on this strange carriage:

This is something I finished the other day with some acrylic paint. It is called "OK Captain Bull":

Beuys loved writing on those smaller blackboards. His writing is how he learned it at school in the 1920s. You remembered the phrase correctly. Frame means stretcher frame here, the material painters use. Beuys was of the opinion that to paint would NOT be the adequate means at all expressing what he wanted to as an artist. Plug in

I finally found the Beuys quote. It had been made in 1985:

He wrote it on a children's blackboard.

Hey Nan!!!!! Wabi Sabi is a Japanese philosophy(?): THE BEAUTY OF IMPERFECTION!!!: where you view objects that are decayed or weathered by nature (or Human)  use as being beautiful and something to meditate upon,.....perfect for our infatuation w. trashpo, rust,etc. I think if we can find can find beauty, strength and peace  in and an old stone, tree, cup, rusted  can or our aching bodies , there is something higher to that.... I hope this makes sense? Many Japanese artists and potters leave a  single flaw in their work as a salute to imperfection Had my MRI results last week, saw some Wabi Sabi in that!!!!!

Alicia Starr sends haunting clean-up

Huh? Who wouldn't want to be there when Alicia cleans up? My hand is staying down. This is a stunner: 

This so-called clean-up hits a home run in my view. And it's hard to portray via scanner, but the central face in this piece is a translucent overlay on the faces lurking underneath. A…

a WOW from K.S. Chambers

This first piece from Keith arrived a week ago, and what an elegant yet whimsical beauty it is. Did he know I have a thing for dots? Probably not. But everything about it works, not just the dots--other composition aspects, great colors--and waxy textures, which I'd love to hear about if you're…
