On Exhibit...

My painting "Cuba Street" is on view at the juried Arts Fest Exhibit at the Manninen Gallery, Endicott College, Beverly, MA- June 10 to August 9.

Time had stopped. 

Just like we had heard-everywhere we found ourselves in Cuba, we felt like extras on a movie set. 

Besides the vintage cars, the buildings were revealing portraits of the past. 

Some- beautiful Colonial architectural gems that had crumbled from time and the lack of upkeep and money.
Some- vibrant colorful structures that screamed 'tropical.'
And others- visions of poverty.

Watercolor, 11x14, [matted with black 16x20 frame]. $450.

Memorial wreath cast out to Sea

At our beach they gather.
To honor soldiers, loved ones... ordinary people.
Guards salute.
A cannon is fired.
The wreath is cast into the sea.
It floats away.
Far away.
A lump in my throat.
Sand in my eye.
It gets me every time.

Alvin Ailey's "Revelations" Bohoy

Alvin Ailey has dancied back to Boston.  
"Revelations" is the must see. Sculpted, athletic bodies swathed in white, ruffled dresses, parasol on high, floating silk ribbons of water. Spiritual and beautiful.

Chicago.
A gradation of greys reaching for the sky. 
Misty grey. Shades of grey. 
Grey steel disappearing into the fog. 
No sun but for a spark of life in a window on Lake Shore Drive. 
"Chicago, Chicago that toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago I will show you around
Bet your bottom dollar you will lose the blues in Chicago..."

Pastel, 10x8, $125.

 

Maybellene.
Not the song.
Not the makeup.
But one man's best friend.

Pastel, 8x10. SOLD NJ/NY. Commission.

April rains

Down comes the rain.
Up go umbrellas.
From above we see:
A box of Trix,
or a carton of crayons,
or a field of flowers.
Yes–- April showers.
