In this sculpture, painting's basic building block, the brushstroke, has been playfully transformed into an oversized, three-dimensional form. Made from aluminum, three vertical "strokes" of pure color are frozen in space and rise to a height of more than ten feet. One edge of the yellow brushstroke cuts through the dominant stroke of black and blue; the yellow also curves into a diminutive stroke of red paint.
Each brushstroke is a fully realized three-dimensional form that, somewhat implausibly, allows the viewer to experience a stroke of paint from different vantage points. The sculpture humorously reminds us that paint is literally three-dimensional.
Roy Lichtenstein first explored brushstrokes as a subject in a series of paintings initiated in 1965. As with many of his works, he used a comic book source--a panel of an artist at work from Strange Suspense Stories --as the basis for his brushstrokes. The subject became one of the artist's most recognizable images and he would return regularly to the brushstroke motif for more than thirty years. In the early 1980s, Lichtenstein began creating sculptural brushstrokes.
These three crows sat, panting, in the Texas heat. It was 100+ degrees F. again today and the air is heavy.

The Three Pagodas Pass links the town of Sangkhlaburi in the north of Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand, to the town of Payathonsu in the south of Kayin State, Myanmar.
This pass has been the main land route into western Thailand since ancient times, and is believed be the point at which Buddhist teachings reached the country from India in the 3rd century. During the Ayutthaya period in Thai history (14th-18th centuries), the pass was the main invasion route for the Burmese (the first of such was the Burmese invasion in 1548).
The pass is named for three small, crumbling pagodas (chedis) which were probably built at the end of this period as a symbol of peace. They are now on the Thai side of the border. Parts of the border are still disputed.
During World War II, Japan built the infamous Death Railway through the pass. There is a memorial to commemorate the thousands of Australian prisoners of war who (with other Allied prisoners and Asian civilians) died as forced labourers in the construction of the railway.
The region is home to several hill tribes, including Karens and Mons, who are unable or unwilling to obtain citizenship from either countries. Separatist armies have repeatedly tried to take seize of the pass from Burma, with the Mons in effective control until 1990, when Burmese troops regained it.

The Great Salt Lake can be rather murky, however, in the golden evening light, I was able to get a little reflection. The distant pink that you see is a "hazy" Wasatch Mountain range.

These three Red Fox kits were along one of Eastern Oregon's highways. I just love the coloration of the middle kit and believe it was a male. One of the adults was killed, most likely by an automobile, and the remains were about 10 feet from these young ones. The adult had been dead for a month or so from the looks of the remains. The remaining adult was evidently a very good provider as these youngsters were very healthy and active.
Brothers Jimmie Lee Coen (l) and Jonathan Coen own Three Two Choppers, a custom motorcycle shop off Lancaster Blvd. in east Fort Worth.
