Pipe Dream and Transmutation

Last week saw 

Pipe Dream 

installed 

at the Wimpfheimer Sculpture Park 





(thanks to the good graces of Doug Rice
and  Brian Wendler  and Bill Bendig
of the Hollycroft Foundation)



shortly after
Marya gave a beautiful welcoming 
for
a successful homecoming of Odysseus to the Egg 



And, 

I hope next week
you can come and enjoy
our next edition of Ripostes

as Alice and I exchange
a brief volley of poems 
from this Spring
bookended by her flute music
playing

Ferroud’s Bergere Captive 

 



and ending with Jade

love and hugs

Framed and Delivered

Peter Campos came to my studio two days ago
to choose a painting for his apartment
with a lively group of friends
 He selected this one:
Shamanic Trio
Oil on Canvas April 2019, Hanoi, Vietnam

Painter’s Note
Shamanic Trio shows Leonor Fini, Max Ernst and an unknown third artist who looks to me like a young Robert Rauschenberg.  An adolescent eye disease forced Leonor to wear bandages on both eyes.  When she recovered at 17 she decided to become an artist and she joined theParis art scene in 1924.  Posing with Max Ernst for a surrealist moment with feathers and the Virgin Mary, she looks ready for a parade I want to join with this painting.

It was painted in my studio on the corner of Lạc Chinh and Trần Tế Xương streets on Trúc Bạch island, Hanoi, Vietnam..


Today, on a bike ride, Faye and I discovered 
the painting already framed 
ready to be delivered 
as follows:
with love
