Leslie
Bender travels with Dorothy on the way to Emerald City. Here,
in "Poppies", she pauses while the snow falls gently
between the petals.

Solo
room artist Bronson Eden is for the birds, as you can see in
"The Conference of the Birds".
Girls
are birds, too.
I
usually drop the "the" whenever possible to save time.
Thus,
"Conference of Birds".

Patricia
Charnay never ceases to amaze me. So many different mediums
and all done so well.
This
womblike sculpture is cast aluminum and called "Growing".

Lynn
Fliegel, a celebrated solo room artist, somehow finds time
to paint prolifically between globe trotting bouts of craft
fairs and festivals.
This
painting (sold, sorry!) is titled "Spring Birches".
|

Aha!
a new fabric artist!
Maddie
Goldman is likely to encounter John or Ringo while "Under
the Sea".
No
glass!
You
can touch the soft, sensual surface.
But
wash your fingers first!

I
spin these old vinyl 12 inch 33&1/3rds all the time.
Wendy Grossman spins them into furniture.
"Record
Table".
Chris
Kristoffertson is so hot that you can save on your oil bill
by buying this disco-inferno of an art furnishing.
Do
it and reduce your carbon footprint.

Joe
Jackson takes all kinds of society's cast-offs and makes really
cool mash ups.
Remember
bananna seats?
V
bars on your bike?
"Saxoponist
with Dime.On.Ring" might have been a nod to the choppers
in Easy Rider, but i like to think he is referencing the caterpillar
on the magic mushroom.
Notice
the dime he uses to grommet the garden spade to the brass
whatever it is.

Which
dwarf are you? Or is that too un-PC? Lenny Kislin is above
all that. He is pretty tall.
Remember
the poster in Paul Krassner's Realist, what Goofy was doing
to Minnie?
"Me
Next, Snow White"
I'll
take sloppy seconds.
Where
does he get this stuff?

Erica
Minglis is a solo room artist this month.
She
is so modest, I had to talk her into it. (although you can't
tell by looking at her.)
Is
this collage "Dodging the Issue"? Not by me.
Her
sense of humor and her sense of the sublime stand my aesthetic
lightning rod on end and I sense a thunderstorm coming.

Andy
Warhol said you get 15 minutes of fame if you are lucky.
Perhaps
just being healthy is enough.
Ellen
Muret made this print, "All That Heals", and it
works for me.
My
Mesothelioma has gone down 25%.

Hear
me! I like it!
F*ck
Jackson Pollock. F*ck Sam Francis. F*ck Helen
Frankenthaler.
Even
F*ck the domesticated elephant that does the same thing with
her trunk, and my three year old.
Stephanie
Skrabak is better than any of them, as "Abstract Sunset
Mountains" demonstrates. And you can buy it at The Arts
Upstairs.

This
collage is "Untitled" You can't imagine how much
that bothers me. I really want to know what the artist had
in mind.
However.
As Professor irwin Corey would say.
I
still like it a lot anyway and it goes well with Erica Minglis'
artworks.
Made
in USA by Richard Westsider.
