"We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." MLK
Available twirled and untwirled.
What twirls in my head is this Matisse called "Open Window Collioure."
In 1983, on the occasion of my sister's wedding, we were in DC and happened upon this in an exhibit at the National Gallery's East Bldg. Even bought the poster, framed it and hung it up in the bedroom.
What we had forgotten is that the original is only 24" tall. tops, but the 48" poster takes up half our wall. The colors have survived better too.
We remembered the Dead Toreador by Edouard Manet as well. I walked up to it, focused and took the shot.
"You know you just blew out your picture."
Excuse me?
"There was this fellow once, did what you just did, and wasted three rolls of film shooting dead on like that. You need to think about the paint having a shiny nature, and shoot from off to the side a little."
Thanks for the tip, I'm assuming Clarence, and for guarding these treasures of the National Gallery.
That's better. Well, not for the toreador.
George Washington, Shenendoah (Oskanondohna) and Polly Cooper are the subject of this statue at the Smithsonian's Museum of the American Indian. "Allies in War, Partners in Peace" is by sculptor Edward Hlavka.
The Oneida allied with revolutionary forces, and may well have sustained the effort through the perilous winter of 77-78. Polly Cooper was one among many Oneida whom the chief sent to Valley Forge and elsewhere with provisions. She stayed to help with nursing and educating the soldiers in local edibles. "Buffalo Dancer II" is by George Rivera of Pojaque, NM, and it stands on the northern perimeter of the museum grounds.
Roman numeral one is at the Hilton-run Buffalo Thunder Resort. on the grounds of the pueblo's casino enterprises. Rivera is refered to in this linked article as "Pueblo of Pojoaque governor." Ca-ching. DC is known for its Asian elephants but the Alexandria variety ain't half bad.
These two cheetahs are relaxing like housecats. rrrrrrrrrrrrrr - sunspot. I thought I had busted my ass just doing basic jambs and trim. The labor involved in this Annapolis facade blows my mind. Our ballusters are 1x3's, plain and simple. Turned posts? Forget about it.
Because historic districts have a tendency to spawn commercial districts, towns like Annapolis have a keen interest in promoting "shopping."
