A Dream of Trees by Mary Oliver

There is a thing in me that dreamed of trees,
A quiet house, some green and modest acres
A little way from every troubling town,
A little way from factories, schools, laments.
I would have time, I thought, and time to spare,
With only streams and birds for company.
To build out of my life a few wild stanzas.
And then it came to me, that so was death,

A little way away from everywhere.
There is a thing in me still dreams of trees,
But let it go. Homesick for moderation,
Half the world’s artists shrink or fall away.
If any find solution, let him tell it.

Meanwhile I bend my heart toward lamentation
Where, as the times implore our true involvement,
The blades of every crisis point the way.
I would it were not so, but so it is.
Who ever made music of a mild day?

A 'shantytown' southeast San Antonio.

downtown San Antonio at night. It is very pretty and I love the old and new buildings side by side, such as an old cathedral from the 1780's and a newer hotel from this century. Actually I believe this is the courthouse.

In San Antonio, kids tag the cactus.

This means SUCKER'S CREEK! ha,ha,ha

It applies because it is so dry there.

Pointed Pen work and Mixed media Old and New

This is the poster I made for the Dallas Postcard club for the March show and sell.

Title : Stellawolf    

Inkblot art finished off with brush and pointed pen.  Idea for art was influenced by Hermann Hesse's novel  Steppenwolf.

This is a mixed media collage . It has jewelry, and even a bit of my grandmother's apron on it. Theme is superficial excessive materialism.

Ink blot art. finished off with my brush and pointed pen. Title is the ancient motif "Green Man".

There are four statues ( in Turkey I think)that have the words  Wisdom, Knowledge, friendship,and Understanding engraved on them. These would be my ideals for any group of people. I made it for the Creative Circle.

New Painting

This was a homework assignment for my video production class, and Kerri was kind enough to be the subject. Hope you enjoy. And her song is great!

Dear Creative Circle,

I am still in San Antonio. My niece, a senior in high school, was notified this weekend that one of her artpieces will be exhibited at the State Visual Artist's Scholastic Exhibit (V.A.S.E. - if you google it, you will see some cool high school art pieces).

We are very proud of her. She is excited. Last year, her art project, which I have uploaded for you, was also chosen. She uses the technique of pointillism - like Seurat. I wish you could see the pieces up close because the detail is something else. In all her focus on finishing and getting her newest project finished, she forgot to take a pic. So now she won't see if again until it is in the actual exhibit in Houston - in April.

Hope all are well and expressing their passions.

Hey Creative Types! I am in San Antonio now. My wonderful niece who is about to graduate from high school this Spring takes great pics. The carnation is one taken at the Botanical Gardens in SA. And the second pic is my niece with her dog Hercules- capturing the same expression! She is an accomplished artist. I will send you another pic of her drawings soon. I am very proud of her. Love Dolores

Bare tree on a cool, sunny winter day at the lake

Hi friends. I took this picture at White Rock last weekend. I like the starkness of the bare tree, the hardscrabble earth in the foreground, the brooding, dark clouds overhead, and the steely light reflecting on the water. It all made for a simple composition that seemed to work.

Kids performing and being safe. The black and white shot was taken in another city, but I have seen something similar before and I NEVER WANT to see it again. The arts can do a lot.

Working with summer camps at an inner city rec. center. I love teaching these. It is one of the few places in Dallas where kids of all colors work together and have fun.

I'm really enjoying making beads!

This is what I made the first week. You work with file and beautiful colors of glass - it's so much fun!

Here's the photo of my 3D Dali collage that sold. It has a quote by Carl Jung on Creativity and the title Become Who You Are is from a book by Alan Watts.
