New Paintings: "Woman in Bonnet" and "Count Bezuhov" 9 x 12 inches

BWAC closed tonight, went to pick up my paintings and a poet called S.David had written two poems about them. Here they are:

"The Teachers: Bird Meditations"
Yes come sit
Come learn
Teachings are
Beginnings
But teachings
Are only
Beginnings
Understandings
Must follow
And then you
Must live them
Detach
Leave
No idol-making
Your own path
Must free you
You cannot be
You must not
Worship
Your teacher
Your guru
Your master
Fledgling
You must fly
On your own
Learn and go

poem by S. David about "Eating Green"

You know her
She's looking
Good these days
Dropped twenty
Not through yet
Change of
Lifestyle
No more meat
Beyond just
Vegan
Organics only
Eating green
Living green too
Ecology baby
Ecology
She's not
Only live
She's preaching
To all
Her friends
And anyone
Who comes
Her way

"My American Flag" 24 x 34 inches

This is My American flag, created using words and letters clipped from popular newspapers. My interest consists in exploring the boundaries of sense, nonsense, and simulations of sense, as they relate to the American flag, a symbol heavy-laden with ideas, ideologies, concepts, conceptions, and images. The notion of a flag where stripes are comprised of words and stars are non-existent intends to highlight the tensions arising from associations of sense and nationalism in our current culture.
