I WOOD IF I COULD

The weeping willow dances in the breeze, and so do I.
But the willow has a different choreographer, though sometimes I give it a try,
try to choreograph the trees with my brush or pen,
and they dance according to my whim.
And sometimes the trees choreograph me,
not from just their outside appearance, from their in.
For when I paint on wood, I let the grain below
tell my brush where to go.

Holiday Party and Unhanging

Don’t be unhinged by Unhanging. We’re just celebrating the holiday season with a party and giving everyone another reason to see, or re-see, the exhibit of recent work by Eli Rosenblatt, Jennifer Espenscheid, and John McWilliams before it’s unhung at the end of the month. Eli’s webpage has photographs of many of his paintings, though not the work in the show.

There is also an event JAM FOR LIFE in Verduras-Tea Cafe on the first floor of the Artasia/Rosenblatt Gallery/Cuvee/Verduras building. So come and party on all three floors!!

Friday, Dec 9, 5:30 pm until 10:00 pm
Rosenblatt Gallery & Artasia Gallery and Museum
181 N Broadway, Milwaukee, WI

Earth Day Earth Poets and Photoscapes

Crumple the calendar, toss it into recycle, it no longer suffices.
Earth Day, Poetry Month, Gallery Night.
Emails, iPhones. iPads, iPods.
Texts, tweets.
Forest fires, oil spills, mine collapses.
Quakes, tsunamis, tornados.
Rallies, revolutions.
A moment of silence for the dead, a century of noise for the living.
Noise.
No-ise.
No-ease.
Everyone on the move.

What’s the next event?

For me it’s the OPENING RECEPTION for PHOTOSCAPES, (PHOTO-ESCAPES?) featuring Mark Baran, Steven Crossot, Art Elkon, Keith Knox, & me, at ROSENBLATT GALLERY, 181 N. Broadway, Friday, APRIL 15, 6:30-10 PM. I travelled the world with a brownie for years, have since upgraded, and last October found myself snapping up the unexpected beauty of autumn in Harriman State Park (NY).

That’s why I’m in a photography show for the first time. What’s the next event?

For me it’s the 24th ANNUAL EARTH POETS & MUSICIANS PERFORMANCES on April 16 and 22. 24th annual, two performances every April, and I’ve never missed one.
