a murder of crows

Hi Billy

im gonna miss u at the flea

u always had a smile

and a kind word as well

didnt expect u to pass

to the other side

so soon

but really anyone who works at the flea

knows that things change fast

so if theres a big market

on the other side

knockem out with those

great fotographs

the wolf the horse and the strange beauty of the west

u captured in your frames

RIP Billy

im in arkansas watching traffic

and a few chickn trucks

piled high with

mctenders….

mostly arkansas is a rural state

run thru with churches

wall mart and college football

but the commmodification

and amplification

of commerce is fierce here

mostly in shopping malls

and strip centers full of faux italian

sandwich shops in a metal building veneers

but who can blame folks for wanting to make a living

(only 2 generations away from being a hill billy in a log cabin with no running water will do u like that)

and by god im rite there with them

on paying bills

but really

how long can endless mindless growth go on?

its all run on dead dinosaur dreams

even my paints are oil based

and thats prolly why i love the desert so much

the land is completely utterly indifferent

to what we as humans do

to ourselves

even the gas clouds we throw up

will mostly just exterminate ourselves

as the desert will go on

just as surely as the sun

will rise

12×9 on paper



remember

if u carry fire
in one hand

and a hammr in the other

your hands are full

and running can

become more difficult

very small drawin with ink 3×5 inches....radiation cowboy

its a new year and a new decade so i will be posting a new work on paper hear on the blog everyday this winter til im not posting art everyday on this hear blog…..

ink and marker on bill of lading…prolly 50 years old from Chicago Rock Island Pacific Railroad company…....(most work is pricd between$25 & $50 apiece with deals on multiplals and free shpning unless i say otherwise)

((this art look real good on a white mat and a simple black frame))

Glencoe Village (Gaelic: Gleanna Comhann) is the main settlement in Glen Coe, Lochaber, Highland, Scotland. It lies at the north-west end of the glen, on the southern bank of the River Coe as it enters Loch Leven (a salt-water arm of Loch Linnhe).



The term ‘Glencoe Village’ is a recent one (appearing on a few road signs only in the last 20 years), however the setting in Glencoe valley is quite historic as it is near the site of the massacre of MacDonalds by the Campbells in the 1690s, acting on the orders of King William III. The village occupies an area of the glen known as Carnoch. Even today there is Upper Carnoch and Lower Carnoch. A small hospital, with no emergency services (Fort William is the nearest) lies at the far end of the village just over an arched stone bridge. Within Glencoe Village there is a small village shop (now a Nisa), local church, history museum, Post Office, Glen Coe mountain rescue center, numerous quality bed and breakfast establishments, and a small primary school. Several eating establishments are around including the Carnoch Restaurant situated in Glencoe village, and Clachaig Inn situated at the mouth of the glen. Glencoe is also a popular location for self catering holidays; with many chalets, cottages and lodges available for weekly and short break rental. Also located in the village, but along the A82, is the Glencoe Visitor Center, run by the National Trust for Scotland. This modern (constructed in 2002) visitor center houses a coffee shop, store, and information center.

thay put me in a dungeon here in edinbourgh

prolly cau se i cant spell

its dark and gloom y here

but thay bring grog and tale me

theres a maiden in the lane

waiting for me

if i agree to behave

i usually get the blues

pretty bad around christmas

and so this year i decided

to take a trip to

the crossroads in mississippi

“Now, I came to this idea of bliss because in Sanskrit, which is the great spiritual language of the world, there are three terms that represent the brink, the jumping-off place to the ocean of transcendence: sat-chit-ananda. The word “Sat” means being. “Chit” means consciousness. “Ananda” means bliss or rapture. I thought, “I don’t know whether my consciousness is proper consciousness or not; I don’t know whether what I know of my being is my proper being or not; but I do know where my rapture is. So let me hang on to rapture, and that will bring me both my consciousness and my being.” I think it worked.”

Joseph Campbell

the wind was howling

and it was cold

darkness swallowd everything….

(if u can bear anymore of this aweful stuff clik hear)

yea, i know i know i know

i blog every thursday

im in miami looking at the art

and the ocean

and the pretty ladys

its a rich world here

a fella could get lost here and never remember

he was an artist

forget who he is forthe most part

but really i feel like a dusty old cowboy here

of course

tomorrow i will be sitting out front of the international art miami

with my paintings

and i can guarantee

one way or the other

it will be memorable

as ive already pulled up beside a few of that

slick and fancy crowd here

thay look at my like im sorta wild eyed animal

no fancy clothes, no trendy haircut (ok maybe i shoulda cut my hair one time in the last 4 yeras)

and mostly here on southbeach

i dont got that rock hard body all these young prettyss have

but i do have a huge painting of crows

and a couple of my little devils with me

i suspect thay will keep me safe and sound

if you care to

im gonna try to blog every day to keep folks up to speed if i need

bail money

k

when i first startd painting

i thought

geez im gonna be a fancy modern artist

but before i knowd it

folks was calling me names that kinda didnt speak towards

what i thought was my sophisticated approach to modern contempt orary art

ive been called folk artist more times than i care to admit

which leans on that saying that goes something like

you can take the boy out of arkansas

but you cant take the arkansas out of him

folk art
