<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">S</span><span style="font-size: large;">o the arts meet sometimes. And in reality there is an art to everything. The Spanish have mastered the art of frying an egg in a very special way. So for fun I thought it would be interesting to share the art and the recipe. In 1816 Diego Velazquez, Old Woman Frying eggs, shows a process that is still done today in which eggs are fried in olive oil. It is so amazing to think of a process of cooking that has survived so long and come into the future. While pursing through blogs I came across the article on the <u>Art of Frying an Egg.</u> The blog is one you may want to check out In Praise of the Sardine, though there are no sardines in this recipe. </span></div>

Heres is a guy married to the author of a half dozen Spanish cookbooks and culinary travel guides to Spain, a man who could presumably request any number of gastronomic delights, and he desires fried eggs? My initial thought was "what a yoke".(pun intended). But then I noticed each of my Spanish cookbooks includes a recipe for fried eggs. And each one </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">waxes as rhapsodic as Penelope Casas" husband about how beloved the fried egg is in Spain. Still I felt skeptical, I felt compelled to test how deep this passion ran during my second visit to Spain. Nearly everyone I ask grew flushed with excitement as soon as I raised the topic of the huevo frito! Yet another reason why the Spanish are my kind of people." from the blog <i>.From the blog In Praise of the Sardine.</i></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><i><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><i><span style="line-height: 19px;">Pour enough oil in non-stick pan to come to a depth of about 1/4".

Quickly turn down the heat to medium low and cook for no longer than one minute, all the while using a metal spoon to baste the egg on top with hot oil from the pan. The white will puff up and get a bit crunchy and golden of the sides and the yolk will remain runny. Use a slotted spoon to lift the egg out of the pan and shake off any excess oil.

Growing up I knew little about the Middle East other than what may have been mentioned about the Crusades and Infidels. I don't think I even knew what infidels were or where they lived. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Then came Lawrence of Arabia and my next view of the Middle East was formed, tribes primitive tribes that fought and struggled to form one cohesive body to fight the British control.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span id="goog_1920506184"></span><span id="goog_1920506185"></span> The call to prayer, the women's clothing, the seeming harshness of the culture all started to build a romantic vision in my mind of flowing robes, turbans, deserts, camels, and women hidden behind carved screens in a harem. It was not until I went to college that me view again changed and then again not until well into adulthood. But the most dramatic change for me was living in Izmir, Turkey and learning more about Islam and women's role with in the country and religion. Turkey was at the time a very Western leaning Middle Eastern country and the more religious women might cover their hair or wear a loose covering that did not show the shape of their body. And living two years in Turkey gave me just a peak behind the myth I had formed from childhood. The Call to Prayer, was no longer chilling to me, but welcoming. People were friendly and hospitable to me as a foreigner. I knew that women, that were not Western, were not treated as equally as I was. In my travels in Turkey as I went Eastward the customs were more and more rigid and restrictive for women. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have read that in some areas of the Middle East women are not allowed to drive and that they must carry a passport to go from one part of town to another. I have also read non fiction books that document women's struggle to win more freedom and rights that are often met with harsh punishment. I still struggle to understand what is cultural and what is religious in the restrictions applied to women. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I look forward to seeing more of Boushra's examination and conversation about her culture in Yemen as well as other pioneer young women artists of the Middle East. They help us all break down stereotypes and gain a clearer understanding of Eastern culture that seems so different from our own.</span><br />

Part of the Romanticism, she elaborates "is was Middle Eastern women have been portrayed artistically as exotic mysterious creatures".

<span style="font-size: large;">Sounds like a group that just works with clay, maybe a summer program, but nothing could be further from the truth. I remember years ago running into two young social workers who had a dream of starting an arts organization for mentally and physically challenged kids and adults. I thought it was interesting, but thought these two girls aren't art teachers and they will needs grants and money to even get a start at all this. A couple of years later I ran into <a href="http://www.artsinactionllc.com/ArtsInAction/Grace-Ann_Alfiero.html">Grace Ann Alfiero</a> and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: large;">Danielle Despathy Rottenberg</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> again and to my great surprise that had the organization going, funding starting and a space! From there it grew and grew. These two young women were recognized nationally for their efforts. Now many years later the organization still exists, and new people are in charge, but the heart of the organization has never changed and what those two young social workers achieved will alway be a wonder to me and perhaps to them too. They should be very proud of what they funded and that the group still provides and invaluable service for St. Petersburg. Recently our wonderful <a href="http://www.fine-arts.org/">St. Petersburg Fine Art Museum </a>formed a partnership with </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Creative-Clay/129582707070749" style="font-size: x-large;">Creative Clay</a><span style="font-size: large;"> to display the work of the artists. It is a fantastic move by the Museum to include these artists in their gift shop and have an open house for them as well. There are other cities that may have a similar program, but this is one superb group. Also two of my artists friends have been very involved with these artists. Thank you David Bewley and <a href="http://www.rosemarieprins.com/">Rose Marie Prins.</a> I have bought these artists work at the center studio, and I highly advice if you support special children and adults you buy their works as well!!! If you click on Museum of Fine Arts St. Petersburg above, it will take you to the link. Then click on gift shop and start buying!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was waiting in the car and a bit bored while my partner and a friend were in the grocery store getting a few supplies. So I started studying people and the cars around me. There was also a big trash truck that had interesting rust and markings. I reached for my little Lumix camera and began to look for interesting shots and angles. I began to see lines, shapes and patterns. As my eyes honed in for details I turned my camera this way and that, then I came in really really close on certain part, what happened was very interesting. <b>I guess it is a way of saying there are no small moments in art.</b> If you train your eye to look as artist do you can see the most amazing things that you miss in every day life. There are amazing colors that are faded my the sun, or darkened by shadow. There are marks, scratches and a rosetta stone of communication on old trucks and pick up trucks.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">If we just look there are natural and man made compositions everywhere. The study of the shovel on the dump truck is one example. I played with the size, the cropping and the color. I could have also tried black and white devoid of color. And when there is monotones just set off by a red or another bright color it adds emphasis to the composition. In this area of the mountains there are many cultures that peak through, I tried to capture one with the Confederate flag and wolf tag. And lastly reflections, a glass and a mirror offer a double reflection, if you look closely you will see it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It is just handy to keep a small camera or a sketch book with you at most times within reach. So many times things catch your eye, that never happen again and it is missed. You know those times and say to yourself, " I just wish I had a camera". I am the same way with sound, I would love to gather bits of sound to use in an installation or an interactive sculpture. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When I first thought of doing an assemblage for an art show I had thought for years of doing an African based fetish piece that talked of cultures, art, and the views we have of other cultures from our own. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

Well into the early 1900's and late 1800's we looked at other cultures that seemed less advanced than our own as specimens to look at under a microscope or to capture like an oddity to put in our museums for observation. Precious tribal objects, sacred religious pieces, bodies and skulls<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

of other humans as if they were an object, not respected nor treated more than a curiosity I have thought many times what would happen if our objects of reverence were treated the same way, our graves, our ruins, our lives that are precious to us. Now as these cultures have more power many are demanding their artifacts back. And our museums are having to open their doors to let this happen. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In this piece I have taken some of the ideas I learned from studying the Dassanach people and tried to incorporate it in my assemblage. Their headdresses or wigs of bottle tops interested me a great deal. They collected what was precious and what was available to incorporate into a costume to be worn and adorned. Bits of metal from bullets, a watch band, nails, fabric and other became fascinating intricate objects of art. So in my own way I recreated this to express all of these aspects. Where the eyes would be is a photograph of immigrants looking out at who ever is taking a picture of them. The slides at the bottoms have photographs of people from different cultures that represent different genders, ages, and countries. A specimen number is written on each, as if to be studied by anthropologist or categorized for a museum. Actual people were used as examples often called <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-16295827">human zoos.</a> The barbed wire is reflective of many things: wires that is on borders that keep people out, prisons wire, the holocaust, torture, and sacrifice. The fishing lure has many meaning as each piece in this assemblage, my intent is to present an object or image that will trigger your own education, and your own experiences. But a lure can be to lure people in, to fish for beliefs and ideas, to catch….our minds work on image identification to a belief or meaning associated by our education or experience in life. What we attribute to meaning is key to our culture, our perception, and our beliefs. In <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism">Surrealism</a>, a early 20th century art movement, that existed during the heyday of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund_Freud">Freud's </a>psychological theories, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolism">symbolism</a> is central. It is a movement that seems to call to me and also be a way I can unconsciously and consciously convey ideas and thoughts that are somewhat complex. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It is easy to be lazy in the summer as the line from "Porgy and Bess" says. Summertime, when the living is easy. I have posted less because I have been under time constraint to finish a major piece for an art show. It is now done and shipped. It is in my mind to expand the theme I started working with in this last piece. I have been working with assemblage and high relief collage in themes that revolve around immigration, difference in cultures and cultural blending of people and nations. Another area of interest is communication. My Mother for the past 11 years has lived with the effects of a stroke that left her with sever communication problems and aphasia. I have learned so much from my Mother's condition these past 11 years while I have been intensely involved in her care and her adjustment to her situation. Also having worked in special education half my career as an art teacher has given me experience with severe handicaps of all kinds that effected their ability to communicate. These themes are fascinating to me..how we communicate, how we perceive communication, how we use parts of our brains and not others, and what happens if part of your brain is damaged, but you can communicate with what is working? We also communicate differently depending on our up bringing, experiences and our culture. When I taught overseas in the Philippines I had to take a course in culture communication and how to understand cultural sensitivity. So this is the areas I am going to explore in my art this summer and fall while at the mountain studio. That is if I don't get to lazy while the fish are jumping!</span></div>

Pollack or Kandinsky, but in my opinion they would be very wrong. Art is not about realism, nor do we need it to be after the invention of the camera that was no longer necessary as a prime function.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Karen Honig is a journalist from Kansas City. She got an idea about sending a photo of her self to many different countries and asking them to make her beautiful. (as in for a magazine shot or advertisement). The result shows vividly our differing views of beauty depending on our own cultural background. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The differences in culture continue to mesmerize me. I have lived in other cultures for extended periods of time in my life. It has led me to want to study and explore the differences of all cultures, and how those differences effect us. Colors, images, sound, and even how close you stand to a person when you are talking to them can have such different meanings. I think it is part of what led to the idea of the "Ugly American". Americans, at one time, were not interested or nor sensitive to cultural differences when traveling and many misunderstandings ensued. There were many a time in Asia I just wanted to crawl under a rock and hide because the horrible behavior of some Americans overseas. To me Karen's idea is a work of art, as in a conceptual view of culture. It help us see and understand how other peoples view beauty. And I present it here as such, a conceptual work of art. </span></div>

It is in the form of presenting photography as an art form. Sara's work seems almost impressionistic and the intent is not accidental. She prints a digital image from public sources and then slashes water on it, then in a very abstract way lets he inks bleed and run in no particular pattern. She then rephotographs the end product.</span><br />

THE IMPORTANCE OF ART ADVOCACY<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I am a life long artist, art teacher and art advocate. I worked with Art Advocacy programs in local and state levels. The importance of art in our lives is paramount. In our homes, in our every day lives, in our schools, in our recreation and in our country's cultural development. There is not any part of our lives that is not effected by one of the arts, whether it be design, music, drama, dance, advertisement, film, etc. Americans think of sports as the one of the best money makers in a community, but it is not so, once again it is the arts. The arts bring in more money than any sport in any town because they are so all encompassing. </i></span><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">I recently ran across this article in </span><a href="http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/17722-robert-lynch-art-is-americas-secret-weapon-for-positive-change" style="font-size: x-large;">TruthOut by Robert Reich on the Importance of Art in our world</a>(click for article) <span style="font-size: large;">and thought I would share it with you.</span></i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The arts provide a way for people better to understand "who they are in a time in history where that is desperately needed," says Robert Lynch. The progenitor of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the nonprofit Americans for the Arts, is<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">"the nation's leading advocate for the arts and arts education,"</span> and Lynch is the organization's CEO." </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have looked at Lynn's work for years at art shows and galleries and I have always been an admirer. Collage is a wonderful way to express yourself creatively and to learn techniques from a master…..well what could be greater. Lynn is a wonderful lovely person, who is energetic and passionate about art. Join her for an on line collage workshop and feel as if you are right in the studio with her.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In Rabbits's Moon Asheville studio the early morning light provides wonderful reflections on the large two story windows . Nature abounds on our 3 acre lot, trees, flowers, and little critters. Mr. Raccoon visits nightly looking for a handout. The Hummingbirds haven't dissevered we are back yet. After 5 months in Florida they seems to forget we are really here and they have to rediscover us all over again. When we get here it always takes a week or so to set up studio's again and acclimate. And one must take time to enjoy such beauty. Artist have always preferred to work in places that inspire them, and for many of us that is nature.</span></div>
