LOVE is in the air with a little help from Venus & Aphrodite!


A very voluptuous Venus by Titian -- detail from Sacred & Profound Love ca 1514 by Tiziano Vecellio (aka Titian) meets Aphrodite ca 1915 by Paul Klee. What could go wrong?

THEME: Love is in the air

Get those hearts and flowers and candy ready and a romantic poem might not hurt:

A Red, Red Rose – Robert Burns

O my Luve is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.

SURREALISM: A Magritte Mash-up


So...I decided to cut up and rearrange some of the master's work. If you want to see the three pieces by Magritte that I used look these up:

"The Portrait" 1935

"Melusine" 1952

Drawing for "Month of Grape Gatherings" 1959

SURREALISM on the LANDSCAPE


If you look real close, to the right of the horse tail, you will see the image of a fish head with an eye seeming to be breaking out of the ground as I used a piece of an Odilon Redon painting for the sky/land portion of the collage!

Surreal Sausages.

 I looked back at the surrealists for inspiration..my favourite were the simple ones such as an apple in front of a face…I went for “Frankfurter salad” a strange recipe in itself.

I also found an accidental one in a chopped up book…glued as found.
