Artworks in Progress

Here are some collages that I’m working on at the moment.  These might be more abstract surrealist paintings than collages but I will still incorporate some picture/photo elements into each.
Right now they are unfinished but I’m not in any hurry.  It is just a pleasure and a great deal of fun to work on them.  Not really work at all but a creative and enjoyable activity that is relaxing and fun.  Very therapeutic.

Here are two collages that I’m working on at the moment.  These might be more abstract surrealist paintings than collages but I will still incorporate some picture/photo elements into each.

Allows plenty of room to experiment and just try different painting hacks.  Makes me happy to have something in the pipeline.  Another way to express my creativity by combining two hobbies that I Love; photography and collages.

Cash Coin and Carry

Dream Walkers

DreamScape Kaleidoscope

This one is 98% finished.  I might add a few more elements.  If something else is needed the artwork will tell me.

Sunny Day at Court Square in Brooklyn

Near the A & C train Jay Street Metro Tech subway station. Even closer are the 4, 5, 2, 3 and R subway trains Borough Hall Station.

Temps once again in the upper 70s.  Great Day to take and absorb some Vitamin D.

 

Major courthouses, Farmers Market, plenty of green space areas for fun, games, and exercise.  Of course lots of shops and stores for dedicated shoppers and those just browsing for bargains. Brooklyn Law School, Municipal Building.  One of the Larger major Brooklyn Post Offices where you can also get your Passport.

Memorial dedicated to World War II soldiers.  Almost made it to the Brooklyn Bridge but I got called away.  In some photos you can see the Brooklyn Bridge off in the distance.

Took a few photos of the Henry Ward Beecher statue. He was a famous Abolitionist.  Here is more information on Henry Ward Beecher from Wikipedia.

Henry Ward Beecher

American clergyman and activist

Henry Ward Beecher was an American Congregationalist clergyman, social reformer, and speaker, known for his support of the abolition of slavery, his emphasis on God’s love, and his 1875 adultery trial. en.wikipedia.org

Bopping and Bouncing Along in

Bushwick Brooklyn

 

Today Spring finally made an appearance in New York City.  The Temps went up to a balmy 74 Degrees Fahrenheit!  Great day for a stroll along Broadway in Brooklyn with a snack stop at Little Skips East Coffee Shop for a snack.  I plan to bring some of my artwork to Little Skips East who may feature my collages within the Coffee Shop!  Hooray!

One of the best things that I Love about living in Brooklyn are all the street murals.  Amazing artwork to be seen and enjoyed adorning walls and sides of buildings!  Incredible!

Here are some photos that I took to Celebrate this warm lovely Spring day!

Finally, The temps in New York City made it to 74 degrees today!!  Hooray!  Spring has won out over winter!  Today was and is a wonderful day for walking so I went to Broadway,  the Broadway in Brooklyn, not Manhattan and enjoyed my afternoon stroll.  I stopped for a snack at Little Skips East Coffee Shop one of my Happy Places.  The Elevated train station you see is the J train which goes from Queens, through Brooklyn (where I live) and into Manhattan.

 

Bouncing along in Bushwick, Brooklyn!

74 Degrees and Sunny!

My New Look ~~ Wakanda Warrior Woman

 

Here are photos of my new look and my artwork! Happy Dance!

 

 

Well Folks I’ve decided to embrace my gray/grey hair and the aging process. Yes I cut off all my hair very short something like the Warrior Women of Wakanda. My hair has undergone the changes of menopause, aging, stress, illness and disability resulting in thinning and hair loss. Those women over 50 understand what I’m talking about. If you are not yet 50 don’t worry age will catch up to you.

BTW, No I am not going to discuss my chronic illness and disabilities. That includes my vision loss. It is what it is. One does not have to look sick to be sick.
I do not want people’s pity so I will not entertain questions about my health. I find those questions and comments annoying and upsetting therefore they will be deleted. 
Once you have a disability there are some days you might feel better but there is No get better.  Being that I’ve been dealing with health issues for over ten years I’ve accepted, adapted and for the most part moved on.  I will Not allow this blog to become a disease of the month club.
My Relationship with God is #1, Then My Brother Stephen, after that my creativity as expressed through my writing, photography (Please check out my blog, Roaming Urban Gypsy) and my artwork.

A Warrior Woman showcases her strengths not her weakness!

Instead I’m focusing on what I can still do. My abilities. Not my disabilities. Mostly my photography and Mixed Media Picture/Photo Collage skills.  I’m moving forward with my skills, talents, gifts and abilities.  Thinking Positive from now on Not negative!

Wakanda Forever!!
