Last go at the Jack-O-Lantern before he gets a good old fashioned punkin chunkin! That's about as low as I could go out on the deck for the LP Comps and Themes group.
Lady with a Bowl of Violets combines Lilla Cabot Perry's love of light-infused impressionist colors and bravura brushwork, plus her familiarity with Japanese aesthetics and her affinity for portraying young women within domestic interiors. Painted after the family's return from Tokyo, this canvas features a Japanese color woodblock print behind the sitter's head on one side and a simple floral arrangement on the other.1 Both print and flowers are cropped dramatically, in a manner reminiscent of traditional Japanese art; the curious and daring compositional emptiness of the left side of the picture derives from the same source.
Although the sitter's head is rendered in a relatively realistic manner, the rest of the canvas exhibits the loose, painterly brushwork favored by Perry (American, 1848 - 1933) and other impressionists. She manages to suggest the texture of the young woman's skin and the heavy white lace trim on her gown with just a few broad strokes of pigment. Even more radical are the vibrant orange highlights representing reflected light from the fireplace. As intriguing as Perry's technique and composition may be, the most affecting aspect of this painting is the mysterious, slightly melancholy expression on the young woman's face.

One of the coolest things that The Parish restaurant in Tucson, Arizona does is make their own infused liquors. The infused tequila makes a mean margarita or straight-up sipper. Get the recipe for their strawberry habanero version and visit The Parish if you can: www.jackieshappyplate.com/recipe-for-the-parishs-strawber...

And then there's that phrase, "Think outside the box". It's soooo cliche now. What did they ever say before then? Is the concept to be creative still the same, though?
Please!! NO Awards or Large Graphics...Buddy Icons are OK. Thank You!
"The man who sat on the ground in his tipi meditating on life and its meaning, accepting the kinship of all creatures, and acknowledging unity with the universe of things, was infusing into his being the true essence of civilization. " ~ Luther Standing Bear, OGLALA SIOUX
There is a concept that says you move toward and become that which you think about. If we think about everything as interconnected and interrelated, we will begin to accept the greater whole and that there is a power who is in charge. If we see the cycles of life, if we see the inner powers, if we see the interdependence of the universe, then we will participate in a harmonious way. We all need to pray and meditate on this. We need to understand the property of unity. My Creator, let me have the insights of nature and give me the power of acceptance.

It's a sad picture;
The final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again,
You know it's all the same,
Another time and place,
Repeating history and you're getting sick of it
But I believe in whatever you do,
And I'll do anything to see it through...
Chorus:
Because these things will change,
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back
will fall down,
It's a revolution,
The time will come for us to finally win,
And we'll sing
Hallelujah
We'll sing
Hallelujah
Oh
So we've been outnumbered,
Threatened and now cornered,
It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair,
We're getting stronger now,
find things they never found,
They might be bigger,
but we're faster and never scared.
You can walk away say "We don't need this"
But there's something in your eyes
says "We can beat this"
Chorus:
Because these things will change,
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down,
It's a revolution,
The time will come for us to finally win,
And we'll sing
Hallelujah
We'll sing
Hallelujah
Oh
Tonight we'll stand,
Get off our knees,
Fight for what we've worked for all these years,
and the battle was long,
It's the fight of our lives,
When we stand up,
Champions tonight
It was the night things changed,
Can you see it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back...fell down,
It's a revolution,
Throw your hands up,
'cause we never gave in,
And we'll sing
Hallelujah
We sang
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Yeah

Gone are the days when individuals liked everything that was made in a traditional design. Individuals of the brand-new generation wish to include touch imagination in their lives, even in the easiest of things. In this post you...
Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.

Tucson has a rich history of participatory, grassroots murals popping up on homes, retaining walls, businesses and community centers. Many of these murals are infused with the spirit of the community to promote heritage. Tucson was one of the birthplaces of the Chicano mural movement in the mid 1970’s. This movement continued to grow and spread as part of a larger movement in the American west and southwest. In the Barrio Anita neighorhood the work of local muralist David Tineo adorns a freeway wall along a little strip park. With my sister visiting this week we have been enjoying some of the local community art displays.

Sandi Whetzel is seduced by the captivating, graceful forms she finds tucked away in nature. Her fascination with the discovered shapes compels her to enhance their graceful contours, infuse them with luscious color and feature them prominently in her paintings. Whetzel’s contemporary acrylic paintings embrace the nuances of shapes and patterns inspired by the plant world. Her current focus has been an intimate view of succulents; embellishing their engaging shapes with vibrant hues and sculptural textures.
Sandi paints in her home studio located at Days Creek, OR. Since 1997 she has instructed community education art classes for Umpqua Community College. She has studied with accomplished artists, Kevin Macpherson, Tom Browning and Harley Brown. She treasures most the continuing association with her mentor artist and friend, Bonnie Hill of Roseburg, OR.
Several of Whetzel’s works have been used to promote the wine industry through wine-themed events in southern Oregon. Her work appears in Northwest Artists: A Collection of Works by Notable Artists of the Northwest. Her paintings are in private collections in Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado and Arizona. She has exhibited in solo and numerous group shows during the last several years, including two shows at the Coos Art Museum, in Coos Bay, OR.
During her childhood, Sandi’s family changed residence frequently to follow employment in the logging industry of southern Oregon and northern California. She attended many small elementary and high schools, none of which offered any art education. As a teenager she enjoyed paint-by-number oil sets and she became interested in drawing briefly around the age of thirteen. After that, Sandi didn’t have much contact with art until later in life.
For years after she married, her only artistic pursuits had been machine sewing garments and home decorator items. When a friend invited her to a fashion T-shirt painting class she thoroughly enjoyed doing that. At the same time, Whetzel seemed to be mesmerized by PBS TV painting shows.
Near Whetzel’s fortieth birthday she purchased new home furniture and wanted some tropical paintings to go with the new furnishings. Sandi had grown up with a motto that had served her well whenever something had been a bit beyond her reach. It was, “…Necessity is the mother of invention.” She always derived a certain satisfaction with inventing her version of the desired object. She thought, “How hard could it be to do the paintings myself? After all, I have been painting T-shirts and watching the instructional videos on TV.” Sandi immediately started painting all on her own, making discoveries through trial and error. During that time frame, she also ran a child day care business at home. While the three toddlers took their midday nap, Sandi took out her paints and painted for an hour or so during the weekdays. Eventually she took art instruction from a very talented and devoted community college art instructor, Bonnie Hill of Roseburg, OR. In 1997 after only a few years of instruction, Bonnie recommended Sandi to replace herself as instructor of the classes. Bonnie became Sandi’s close friend and mentor; a treasured source of inspiration and knowledge. Whetzel has been painting and instructing art ever since.
When speaking of her art, Sandi has remarked, “I hope my art warms the spirit and inspires people to pursue their dreams. Art that does that for us helps to make our working and living environments more of a sanctuary in stressful times.”

God has infused human beings with good understanding so that their name will not perish. For it is good that people do not seize a mountain that cannot be moved, but stay in the valley, gradually learning what they can understand. These words come from the Living Light and not from any person. Let them who hear, see and believe where these words come from.
