I haven’t quite got a grasp on Pop Art. However, I have explored this in somewhat a playful manner… using basic primary colors. It’s not an original idea because Mother Nature has actually already done the primary color thing with these vegetables.

Here’s a “moldy oldie” I came across while cleaning out the garage. You can’t make out the date down in the bottom right hand corner… but I can! It’s 1972 and finding this prompted a lot of memories. This watercolor & ink was done while I was in scenic downtown Southeast Asia. How it survived almost forty years is anyone’s guess, but I do remember that it was to be the first of several showing instruments I enjoy hearing played. The additional pieces were never started as the Vietnam War sort of got in the way and my attentions were needed elsewhere.Who knows? I might pull a Phoenix out of my hat in the near future in regards to this idea…
Bemused [bi‘mju:zd] adjective
Perplexed by many conflicting situations or statements; filled with bewilderment; "a cloudy and confounded philosopher"; "just a mixed-up kid".
What is Art?
If something catches any of our senses, produces a response, prompts a question, taps into imagination or thirst for knowledge…
That could be Art.
As long as we have those electro-chemical impulses firing off in our brains, producing a need to create, express or understand, we’re all capable of Art in some manner!
