More from the Chee and Millers Dale album.
I think this also qualifies for my Kindness of strangers album!
Found this little fellow hanging out on the beach. We set him up to keep all mosquitoes, sand flies, and other general nuisances at bay.
"The peace ships" is a sound and light artwork by Päivi Laakso on the Fredriksvern shipyard. The work is an installation of objet trouvé (found object) consisting of four old wooden boats. The boats are placed where ships in the past were built. The title of "Peace" alludes to the warship "Friderichsværn" that was built at the shipyard and was completed to 1814. This ship was never in active war service.
The boats are placed upright and all have the keel facing the sea. The largest boat is 19 feet and the smallest 8 feet high.
Each boat has installed sound and light. Merete Mongstad has been responsible for the sound installation. Kurt Hermansen for light installation, which consists of diodes.

Merci ThereseDion/Fragile, 2004, 54”w x 33”h, diptych, combine/mixed media painting on found object (crate panels from Galerie Terese Dion)
I found these two wonderful crate panels outside (in the garbage, of course) of a very well know gallery here in Montreal, Galerie Therese Dion. I snatched them right up... I fell in love with them. And so here they are as a backdrop to a piece I created in 2004.
Mme Therese Dion has recently passed away, so I cherish these as a legacy.
Two wings on the stone.
The body is gone.
Crows have taken what could be taken.
What remains is form, silence, emptiness.
In a square of Budapest, the world shows itself as it is — nothing more, nothing less.
Két szárny a kövön.
A test már nincs itt.
A varjak elvitték, ami elvihető.
Ami maradt: forma, csend, üresség.
Budapest egyik terén a világ úgy mutatja magát, ahogy van — sem több, sem kevesebb.

we recently returned from a two month trip to asia. we visited china, tibet, nepal, bhutan, india, burma and japan.
just us two (not a "tour"), our backpacks and sense of adventure.
we have been in burma before, but this time we spent more time in this beautiful country.
we had an amazing time on our trip.

EXPLANATION OF THIS PIECE:
in burma there is the belief among boys and men (and their families) that a tattoo will prevent death from snake bites or being shot by a gun. the tattoo is often the burmese alphabet (in some form).
we met a man whose mother tattooed him when he was a young boy. he was subsequently bitten by a snake...and did not die. he attributes this to the protection of the tattoo. he has never been shot by a gun, although he has ventured into some dangerous areas in burma.
These lovely flowers are blooming in a neighbor's yard in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California. Taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max set to macro and raw.
My most recent mixed metal assemblage/art doll. I had been wanting to do a mermaid for a while and the wonderful face from graphixoutpost and pewter hands from pinksupply seemed to make it happen.
