Artist Description of Cow
Sunset Cow is inspired by my past artistic work creating abstract sumi-e landscape paintings and a newfound interest in the vibrant colors of graffiti street art in Guatemala City.
Sunset Cow expresses not a real or physical place, but an imagined and dream-like landscape with colors evoking the feeling of the moment when day transitions to night.

Public Art Event: Donkeys
There will be 57 donkeys in Philadelphia for the Democratic Convention - Donkeys Around Town.  The donkeys will be put out on July 1st.  Here is a preview of the Pennsylvania donkey.  He says "Come see me!" Ed Rendell came up with the idea.  The photos below show Ed Rendell and the Mural Arts Program founder Jane Golden.




Here is a video about the event: Donkeys to descend in Philadelphia ahead of convention

Blossom Bear, Cairo's Bears and Butterflies, 2009
I am posting this bear because it is bustin' out with blossoms and today is June 1st and "June is bustin' out all over."  Here are some of the lyrics from this song from Carousel:

Nettie
June is bustin' out all over
All over the meadow and the hill!
Buds're bustin' outa bushes
And the rompin' river pushes
Ev'ry little wheel that wheels beside the mill!

June is bustin' out all over
The feelin' is gettin' so intense,
That the young Virginia creepers
Hev been huggin' the bejeepers
Outa all the mornin' glories on the fence!
Because it's June...

All
June, June, June
Just because it's June, June, June!  


Each year my mom calls me and sings me some of this song from Carousel. The first three photos are mine.  The last one is from the website.
