French Quarter Artists ~ faR ouT maN!

LOVE LOVE LOVE these guys!

After years of scoping out those wild and crazy peeps

at the Jackson Square artist strip,

for the first time eveah, I purchased these two pieces.

Fell in LoVe immediately with the Space painting.

It's right up my sci`fy alley...

I wish I could have taken pictures of the

others He had.

 

This next piece I really had a lot

of trouble picking out, only

because I couldn't decide

which piece I wanted.

There was a Green Heart piece

that was some tough competition!

Not to mention, but will, ReVeRanD Varg was freakin HigHLaRious!

Double CooL.

I will be going back!

I look forward to a few more purchases from these two,

and also a few others that I didn't get to buy from.

My "VinTaGe" Art....or work i've done in the past

 Creating miniature scenes or captured moments
in small boxes fascinates Me.

I really should do more of them.
For many years, I would take old cigar boxes
and create Magic Boxes with them
to give to Friends for Yulemas.
It actually became a looked forward to event.

This was based on the song
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Two SiSters Mary Thoughts for the Day ~ February

 Your gown of vibrant colors

Swirled through the splendid walls
And round a hundred columns high
You danced in palace halls.

"It is with the approach of Wynter that Cats...wear Their richest fur and assume an air of Sumptuous and Delightful opulence."

I was here showin Mad LoVe!

“Come when the rains have glazed the snow
And clothed the trees with ice
While the slant sun of February pours
Into the bowers a flood of light.”
~William C. Bryant

Two SiSters Mary Thoughts for the Day ~ November

 

 "Here is the dark tree

Denuded now

of Leafage...

But a million Stars"

~ Shiki

What we're really talking about is a wonderful day

set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets.  

I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?  

~Erma Bombeck 

 

We give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.

"November's sky is chill and drear,
November's leaf is red and sear."
-   Sir Walter Scott

It is a joy to walk in the bare woods.
The moonlight is not broken by the heavy leaves.
The leaves are down, and touching the soaked earth,
Giving off the odors that partridges love."
-   Robert Bly, Solitude Late at Night in the Woods  

"How wonderful it would be if we could help 
 our children and grandchildren 
to learn Thanksgiving at an early age.
Thanksgiving opens the doors.  
It changes a child's personality.  
A child is resentful, negative—or thankful.
Thankful children want to give, they radiate happiness, they draw people."
-   Sir John Templeton
