Lusting Beauty . . .

Of a Faberge Egg


Exquisite art and beautiful craftsmanship,


Are often here because of great wealth,


Borne at the expense of the poor masses.


Such is the case of the Faberge Egg.

Lusting Beauty . . .

Of Trees

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.


A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;


A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;


Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.


Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree


Joyce Kilmer

There is a geometry of art as there is a geometry of life, and, as the Greeks had guessed, they happen to be the same.~Matila Ghyka

Lusting Nostalgic . . .

For a time long past


When I came upon this painting by Cecil Crosby Bell, I was immediately swept back to a time in my childhood.
My Aunt Cis, my cousin Bob, and I were visiting cousin Liz and Great Aunt Anna in New York City, 1952.
Liz said we were going to go for a swim. I was expecting something vastly different, I being from the country, than the concrete wadding pool in which we cooled ourselves that day.

I've included three more of Bell's paintings below. Perhaps one of them will strike a note of nostalgia with you.




Nostalgia is like a grammar lesson: you find the present tense, but the past perfect! ~Owens Lee Pomeroy

Lusting Completion . . .

Of Rooted in Perspective

Any artist will tell you that there always seems to be one more thing that will make his creation a bit better, hopefully perfect.

But there does come a point when he'll admit that it's time for completion. It's time to declare it finished.

Below is a picture of my latest completed sculpture. It's still in clay and will need to be cast in plaster so that I can attempt a clay duplicate of the original. Then it must dry and be fired twice.


But at least this phase is completed.

Lusting Balance

Be moderate in order to taste the joys of life in abundance. ~Epicurus


It is better to rise from life as from a banquet - neither thirsty nor drunken. ~Aristotle


Enough is as good as a feast. ~English Proverb


Even nectar is poison if taken to excess. ~Hindu Proverb


I had something else in mind, but, OK.

Lusting Living . . .

By the sea


White and sculpted,


With rooms facing a view of blue.


A touch of rough stone,


Mixed with nature's timber.


Definitely my kind of living!
