NYC Street scenes and sights 2009

Saw this while walking the streets of NYC with my kid a couple of summers ago. Reminded me of the sights I saw growing up there in the pre-Disneyfication days.

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.

Dolores

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.
