Ramblin' on
Bon jour from Montreal. Spent the last few days in Quebec City, so far my #1 favorite city in the world. That slot used to be held by Hong Kong, but it fades in comparison even though I haven't been there since it reverted to China. Working on major revision of "the Adventure", and will detail in future, when appropriate.
Tomorrow I'm heading for Manchester, N.H. to meet some people from the Philippine Consulate, and then on to an overnite at Dyl's.

This is a collage I did in collaboration, and donated for auction to raise funds for my granddaughter, Jordan's school. It is drawn from the Stepping Stones Montessori School logo which, in turn, was derived from Jen Cousin's watercolor of her daughter, who also attends the school. The auction is in November, I think.
After Cezanne
This is a collage based on impressions I had while at the Cezanne Retrospective at the Philadelphia Museum of Art last year. The crowd consisted of the Culture Vulture who knitted a sweater to match Ellsworth Kelley's Meschers which was alegedly inspired by Cezanne's Large Pine And Red Earth. Then comes Hungry Joe with the growling stomach and golden arches on the brain. Gloxy is watching the howling baby on the floor trying to get the attention of Absent Dad who is eyeing Modern Mama as she hooks up with one of Picasso's Bathers. The ghost of Cezanne is walking offstage to find some solitude.
Greetings to All,
What with an upcoming adventure, I'm re-invigorating the Ramble. No details yet-some of you may know, but I want to get all the details carved in stone; not just scribbled with chalk.
Cycle-wrenching has sort of been put on the shelf, but I may be getting back into it in 2011 in a peripheral sort of way. Parts delivery will come to a screeching halt with the new adventure, possibly to be resumed if my employer has part-time openings.
The rest of my time will be spent working on painting and mixed-media collage-building. Still trying to self-educate. I couldn't sign up for another of Deb's great classes because the "adventure" will commence early in the semester and besides, I needed to save the funds for art supplies or bail money . I reckon my education will continue sans discipline until next year.
Anyway, check in once and a while, as this might be the only way I'll be able to communicate quickly about events.
Disclaimer: If you see an horrible photo of an horrible painting/collage in this post; it is because techknowlege has eluded me again. My apologies!
