Library

noreply@blogger.com (paintbrushpoet) — Fri, 27 Jan 2006 19:54:00 +0000

My passive-agressive behavior
is filed in a mental library
under rage and restentments.
Stuffing the shelves
with poisonous anger,
compulsive thoughts
of defeat and pain
become habitual.

This collage is by artist Rosslyn Bernard. The artist is skilled at creating a mystical mood by using the simplest of materials. This one suggests movement and joy.

Fractured Shards...

noreply@blogger.com (paintbrushpoet) — Sun, 04 Dec 2005 17:44:00 +0000

Our opening of "So this is Christmas?" was a huge success! About one hundred people showed up to view the outstanding work, listen to the jazz music and enjoy Ron's creative appetizers. (Some I have not figured out yet?) Everyone had a great time in spite of the rather nasty weather. The snow added to the Christmasy feeling.
This assemblage can be viewed at the show. It is by Tess Moore. The title: "Fractured Shards of Life Create One Beautiful Picture." Come see the show! Notchtop's hours are daily 7 until 2.

"A Rocket in my Pocket"

noreply@blogger.com (paintbrushpoet) — Thu, 17 Nov 2005 20:16:00 +0000

Digital photograph by Reindeer. Quirky and whimsical it makes you want to play! The glowing cat's eyes lend an air of unreality. So watch out if you mess with kitty!
PSST!! Renegades out there--drop off your work at Notchtop Monday November 21 @ 6-9pm. See ya there! :-D

Reindeer Works Here

noreply@blogger.com (paintbrushpoet) — Fri, 07 Oct 2005 17:31:00 +0000

Reindeer is an inovative, exciting digital photographer with the Renegades. "Reindeer Works Here" proclaimed his one-man-show on the upper floor of our Virginia Ave show. Multi-talented, Reindeer plays guitar and can recite poetry on the spot. His photography is sensual, colorful and controversial.
