I visited the Salvador Dali museum in St. Petersburg in 2022. It was the last time I saw my brother. I was just starting my 4,000-mile final visit to the south and southwest U.S. One of my goals for the trip was to try to understand abstract art. Dali was one of the founding fathers of that genre.

This swirlized version of a Begonia plant was just a 3-leaved version a year ago when I bought it and put it on my plant shelf in my RetCom apartment patio door. It is now a six-inch plant with too many leaves to even count. Continue reading Dreaming of Begonias
When I started down this Artsy path I was determined not to get stuck in just one mode of art.

I have got to put this picture back on the revised-edition of RJsView as it is one of my favorite memories from my visits to our northern neighbors. This old guy has likely spent a very long life in a very cold place. When I came across him, I almost had the feeling that I was invading his space, but got the idea that he … Continue reading My Acadian Friend
A little self-abstract for you today. While visiting some high school classmates in Cleveland we decided to see the famous city market there. The original of this abstract was taken at a small café that was in the same building. It ended up that the market was closed that day (Tuesday?), but we still enjoyed a tasty breakfast and a quick peek through the market … Continue reading Chillin Out In Cleveland
