What
can I say about a zucchini that hasn't already been said? A whole lot! I
thought eggplants were the only creative, happy veggies until I met my
first zucchini in an Italian restaurant. It had this great big smile on
it's face. I think it was it's face. Green! That's one of my favorite
colors. Talk about bold! This zucchini had the guts to take the place of
meat in the lasagna. And, it was excellent. That's giving your all for
art. Thus, the zucchini is the inspiration for many of my wild art
explorations and statements. Just click on the images below to share some
of my interests, fantasies and concerns... |
 |
"Dreaming
of Flying..." I
do have dreams of flying at times. It started when I was stationed in
Greenland at an isolated Air Force base. And, I do mean Isolated! |
 |
"Smashing
the bird blues..."
Playing badminton is wild and fantastic. The game has so many moves and
shots. But, I do worry about that poor bird! I still try to smash it! |
 |
"Tree
angel..." The
trees in Australia are fantastic. It didn't take much imagination to see
angels living in the Gum trees. |
 |
"Moldy
baloney U.F.O." I
saw this strange object somewhere in the skies in northwestern Ohio on a
bicycle tour. I did not see it land. |
 |
"Ansel
Adams in the land of three suns..." Ansel
Adams has always been an inspiration to photographers with his bold
explorations in strange places. |
 |
"Golem,
truth and freedom..."
This contemporary Golem created with wires and circuits, ponders and
reacts to reality, truth and faith in existence, and burns for
freedom. |
 |
"The
fantasy garden..." I
like mysterious places, gardens, forests, secluded areas, dragon
sites...an area that surprises me with fantastic animals and plants. What
a joy! |
 |
"Night
flight...jazz sounds at twilight..." Somewhat
like the jazz musician, the leaf nose bat creates his wild and special
sounds flying at night. One of God's most unique creatures. |
| zucchini
(zoo-ke'ni), n. a variety of green-skinned summer squash, shaped
somewhat like a cucumber. |
 |
"Dance
for joy II..." The
abstract movements of dancing can express the basic human desire to
communicate the joy of existence in God's fantastic world. |
 |
"Blues
for the homeless..." The
suffering and emptiness of homeless people is depicted by the empty
shopping cart with hope symbolized by the butterflies and the jazz
musicians. |
|
 |
"Jonah,
hot and bothered" Jonah
argued with God, not understanding God's love for all people. This scene
is from the fourth chapter of the book of Jonah where God has a worm kill
a plant that was shading Jonah to teach him a lesson about love in a
humorous way. |
 |
"Living
water..." There
are many wonderful symbols in the bible relating to God's relationship to
man. In this composition, I use symbols from John 7:37-39, to express the
"rivers of living water." I have superimposed the images with an
abstract depiction of the crucifixion. |
| Golem:
an
ancient Jewish legend, is an artificial being created by man with magic to
be a saving force. Made with various odd materials, the Golem is activated
with the Hebrew letters EMET inscribed on the forehead. The Golem
usually turns on his creator when he discovers that he is not fully
human.
