Subject: [Baren 6137] re: Dave's print 

Okay, since nobody is around (Dave's on a plane, Graham is cutting wood and
everyone else must be driving to the east coast....) and those that replied
(Jack, Gayle  & Dave)  did not take the bait.....I guess.......my comments about
Dave's latest  Surimono print being cold & distant was just a joke, a play on
words. I guess you have to read the text that goes along with the print....as I
was making fun of Dave for interrupting his printing by "freezing" his
half-completed prints while going away mountain hiking........

What day & time are the opening ceremonies at the MHC ?

Bea, definitely okay to send Exchange #4 early. I already have one set
of prints from Ruth aka Speedy Gonzalez. By the way, have y'all seen
Ruth's new website? http://www.ruthleaf.com
Her prints are luminous, and her handling of color is
outstanding--better than that yet, flabbergasting, radiant, out of this
world, really.
Tonight it's opening night at the LV Art Museum, have two pieces there
but their "roundups" (calls for entries) do not include a category for
prints, so I'm going to see if I can talk to someone about this horrid
deficiency. Mark Chagall's show is also in the Museum so it should be an
awesome art-night.
On the weekend of the 23rd we will be driving down to California to
deliver a large drawing for a show. The relatively new Getty Museum in
L.A. will be showing old Spanish Master drawings, like Goya, Murillo,
Velazquez, El Greco...all my favorites, so will make a stop there. I'm
hoping to see some Goya prints as well.
Printing on cherry wood veneer proved to be successful; the veneer takes
as much ink as you want to put on there and gives a beautiful background
for the print. I will put on the website as soon as they are dry enough
to scan.
Have fun and be safe in all your travels, oh travelers.
Health to all,

Maria

Julio,
Unfortunately I am still here too, so must stand and be counted with
Jack as not having been sitting up straight when your  comments on Dave's
latest flew  over.   

>cold & distant was just a joke, a play on  words.

It's starting to sink in,   cold as the freezer, or "Kagetsu on Ice".   
Dave has a shelf in the freezer for the honored dead sort of thing?   
Julio, anyone as tasteless as that is following right in my footsteps! 

That print  view certainly seems loftier than a second story window,
however, more like a high rise.   I wonder if Dave embellished it some to
add dramatic effect, or to suggest perhaps that old Kagetsu was actually in
heaven looking down on his former world.   His spirit suggested by the
artifacts he was fond of, as well as his silhouette.   Kind of his room in
heaven.

By the way, are you the one that told Dave the old boy resembled Alfred
Hitchcock?   Maybe Alfred pouting after his hair didn't turn out?  Julio, I
haven't been giving you enough credit.   You caught some things in there
the rest of us missed.
