mountain blue-bird
Posted: October 13, 2014 Filed under: art | Tags: art, mountain blue bird, print making 17 CommentsIf you ride in the meadows of the Big Horn mountains, you might discern small non-descript birds alone or clustered in groups of five or ten along the fences. Nothing much to see until startled they take flight and sunlight sparkles off their wings in the brightest blue.

My favorite youngest daughter captured this in her series of birds. She’ll have a series of eight birds out soon. How fleeting and precious are the moments.
sculpture
Posted: October 26, 2013 Filed under: art, Philadelphia, travel | Tags: philadelphia, sculpture, travel 20 CommentsI like sculpture, sculpture that can be touched, as if touching it helps to know it’s meaning. One of my favorite pieces resides in Cleveland, The Free Stamp. Perhaps I like it because so many despise it, but the message intrigues me.
In Philly ( Philadelphia ) I came across this sculpture. It’s an actual plane, first a submarine bomber, then a firefighting plane and now…

Weapons of war have a beauty in them, a savage efficiency. Here on the street it’s peaceful,just right.
an odd juxtaposition, but it works
Maybe there is something to swords into plowshares after all.
