The Art of Friendship: Happy Birthday to Me
It’s been 61 years coming, but today is that day…only with a new year attached. I start thinking about my new age a few weeks beforehand so it comes at no surprise on the date. Falling between Christmas and New Year’s as it does–the Dead Week, I call it–when people are still reeling and resting…
Tracks in the Snow by Janean Baird (my niece/my brother’s oldest daughter)
Janean sent this blended memory from her childhood that made its way into a recent conversation with her older son. Today, my first big snow day in St. Louis, seemed like a good day to post this. When we were growing up on the homeplace in rural Illinois, on the bluffs above the river, all…

(African Culture of Story Series) Damaria Senne on “Stories from the Place of the Mist”: Part One
Damaria Senne We begin by enjoying the cover of Damaria Senne’s adult reader titled BOITSHOKO (meaning “perseverence” in Setswana). The book was published by Heinemann Publishers, and was translated into a number of local languages. The book is of interest (in the context of the essay about the story) because Damaria named the title character…
As I’ve mentioned before, I really enjoy your colorful art work. If I’m in town when you exhibit at Portfolio, I’ll attend.
Your stunning work deserves a wide audience. I’ll send your post out on Twitter and Facebook. Only wish I could be in St.Louis this August.
Women and Wardrobe: That’s a very impressive collection of work. I love you image called “Flyaway,” especially the way you’ve used negative space, with the female form emerging from that space so nicely rendered. And I also really like “She who dances with stingrays.” Your simple lines and shapes expressing the woman’s movement and connectedness with her piscatorial dance partner, are wonderful surprises. There’s a single line from under the woman’s arm, curling around her body, that suggests either the movement before or maybe the movement to come. You have amazing control of line and form, especially given the medium. Bravo…or “bravado,” as the case may be. Really interesting work, with the subtle taste of you humor, as well. I hope people look very closely and discover how you’re using this medium.
Lively, colorful, sensitive, crazy, mysterious! What a collection! I only wish I could be there to see the show in person.
Thanks, Fran. What a lovely list of adjectives! I’m glad I have writer-friends who also know their art.
Oh, Hal! Thanks for your close reading of the images and your encouragement–as always.
Mes compliments et mes souhaits pour une belle exposition.
