So tell us which one it is. It looks kind of Mt. Hood-ish, but could be St. Helen's or Rainier??? Great pix. The uniqueness reminds me of Richard Estes' painitng of turket prints on a muddy, wet road.
Jeeese, Dawn. It's TurkeYs (my computer doesn't always spell things the way i'm thinking) and now I'm not sure that the artist was Richard Estes. It's by someone I like, but I'm blaming my memory lapse on the drugs. I'll figure it out soon and send you a link. What happened to the beautiful fish painting that's under your name on Rhonda's blog today?
Thank goodness my mind is returning --- go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puddle_(M._C._Escher)to see M.C. Escher's print of footprints and a puddle. The turkey idea came from a plagerized copy done by a school kid for a November calendar, which showed turkey prints instead of 2 sets of human footprints. The pix won an award before the judges realized it was not an original painting. (AT least Escher and Estes are close together in the alphabet, and I really like both artists' work.)
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, and cunning.

I really like these last few photos and quotes, Dawn. You are bringing into view what might otherwise have been overlooked. Beautiful!
Oh yes. Wonderfully done.

That's beautiful! And I wouldn't have seen it if you hadn't told me to look!
Unobservant? Moi?
