Treetops Listen For Dreams

This my most recent acrylic painting inspired by the Cyndi Lauper song, “Time After Time.”

Time After Time

 

This song touches my heart, soul and inner being because I once was that Young Woman. An outcast. An outsider. Seeking. Yearning. Wondering. Only my parents let me be me. If not society. See you soon Mom & Dad.

 

 

Time After Time

Cyndi Lauper

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I’m walking too far ahead
You’re calling to me, I can’t hear
What you’ve said
Then you say, go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time

If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows
You’re wondering if I’m okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you’re

Coney Island Beach days in August

 

Memories of Summer 2018

 

During the last week of August specifically the last Wednesday and Thursday at the end of August I went to Coney Island Beach and Boardwalk when the temperature hit 100 degrees in New York City.  It was much cooler and more refreshing at Coney Island Brighton Beach.

Gallery Sitting

 

Yesterday I volunteered as a Gallery Sitter for the Museum Union Art Show located at El Barrio Artspace PS 109, 215 East 99th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues.  The show features 90 Artworks by Museum Union Members and continues until March 21st.  I am honored, proud, and elated to be a part of such gifted, talented hardworking group of Union Members.  We Stand United in strength as Union members sharing our creativity with the world.

During the Three  3  hours I was there I took the opportunity to take more photos of the Union Art Show and as I left the building I took photos of the building which used to be a school and is now an artists residence, creative art space with galleries and offices.

Because of the turrets, gargoyles and other architectural elements the building is often described as a Castle.  It was also an excellent opportunity to speak with visitors to the show.  If you live in New York City please take the opportunity to stop by.  I also took photos of the surrounding neighborhood which I will share in the next post.

Showing my age with this one. Our parents did not get us this one. We did have Play-Doh which I tried to eat. Tasted nasty. Also Silly Putty. Not sure that I tried eating that one. I liked Silly Putty because I could press it down on the Sunday Comics and it would copy the image.
