The evil Trump Regime sends damaging ripples here in the low country.
Art is now under attack in the United States.

“The Artful Dodger“ #24
A blog category about finding “art” in unexpected places and situations.
So I walked into the kitchen after Robert had been in there grabbing some grapes from the fridge.
I looked on the counter and saw this …
I started to get a tad irritated until my SAE (superior artistic eye) suddenly saw a work of art!
It is kinda pretty, isn’t it?

Robert put together a quick yummy breakfast for us this morn.
And then I “put mine together” a little more festively.
His (her?) name is “Noel.”
(You know you have far too much time on your hands when you can rearrange the food on your plate.)
“It’s Still Life?”
So today, HR and I had lunch with our dear friends Don and Jim at the salad-ly delicious Urban Deli within walking distance of us here in historic district Savannah.
Beyond yummy food.
Especially their salads.
I opted for the brussels sprouts salad, along with a healthy helping of their red beet salad.
I consumed it far too quickly, never thinking about taking a photo remembrance.
Afterwards, as we were sitting, stuffed, Savannah fall conversing, I looked down on my plate …
And saw a still life masterpiece.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/4/24
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Our beautiful bride/neighbor Lexi kissing her groom outside the cookie store last week.
2. The ability to laugh. And continuous reasons for that joyful ability.
What do you have to laugh about today? 
3. Grandson Matthew and his Plant Cell School Project made out of household trash.
4. Going out into Washington Square near our place here in Historic District Savannah last evening to read, about 7 PM, and realizing, with the darkness, that it’s definitely getting later in the year.
5. Art!
May you have an artfully beautiful weekend ahead!
“The Artful Dodger“ #22
A blog category about finding “art” in unexpected places and situations.
So the other morning I sat down with HR to my breakfast of ham cubes (well, that’s what they look like, right?), eggs and toast.
Sleepily took a bite of toast …
… and spotted the rare GrapeJelly Splattered Scrubwren!
Sadly, birdlike, she didn’t linger on my plate very long before “flying” away.
Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 4/1/24 “Hodgepodge”
Marveling this Monday morning, as I scroll through a hodgepodge of photos from our Baltimore trip last week.
NATURE
ART
Even our cutlery at lunch in the Mount Vernon section of Baltimore was sort of artsy.
I believe that if we attend to our lives carefully, we will see much to cause us to pause and MARVEL.
A Fresh and Just Look at Stained Glass … “Saint Kern“
Today Robert and I visited the Walter Museum of Art in Baltimore. Our favorite exhibit was one called “Saint Amelie.”
SAINT AMELIE
Kehinde Wiley (American, born 1977), 2014
Saint Amelie is one of a series of twelve freestanding stained glass panels by Kehinde Wiley that depict contemporary portraits of young Black residents of Brooklyn, New York. It mirrors the form, composition, figural pose, and framing of historic stained glass windows from the medieval and Renaissance periods, and specifically a window titled Saint Amelie by the French Neoclassical painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867).
Wiley honors his subject, Kern Alexander, whom he used as a model in multiple works, by depicting him in a context traditionally reserved for Christian saints and religious contemplation.
Like much in Wiley’s work, Saint Amelie explores the invisibility of Black people within the traditional art historical canon.
Hand-painted stained glass, mounted on lightbox with aluminum frame.
A beautiful exhibit!
