Civic Fish
Some of Buffalo City Hall’s animal-themed decoration. These fish are part of the door surrounds on the first floor, carved dark marble.
Lynx Woods
Just one of Charles Burchfield’s many obsessions, which he pursued his long, productive life:
“To the Big Woods painting — . . . I spent some time wandering around in the woods trying to find just the right spot to carry out my idea, which has obsessed [me] for some time (the lynx woods giving the feeling of the coming of winter into the glory of autumn.) A blue jay kept calling, and sporting in the tree tops – a wild blood-tingling call.”
Two Things
Leonard Bernstein: “To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time.”
Proverbs for Paranoids
Proverb Number Two: The innocence of the creatures is in inverse proportion to the immorality of the master.
My good friend Ian MacDonald has amazing chops as an illustrator. Check out his “Proverbs for Paranoids” series. I particularly like his incorporation of vinyl-related motifs . . .
