Baby, I'm a fine arteeeest!!!!

About Me

I'm an artist who draws and paints spirits and dreams.
They find me and flow through
my hands onto material surfaces.....
usually canvas, paper, or wood. These spirits and/or dreams
take different forms.
Sometimes they take the form of some kind of being,
say a mermaid, a sprite, or a dancer;
sometimes they take the form of a "place"---
a landscape in my mind;
other times there is a vision
of an entire diorama with characters and activities
that appear from the river of my subconscious. Often I'm quite surprised at what emerges,
though often it's a pleasant surprise. Metaphysics, metaphors, archetypes, and
universal symbols fascinate me.
These things are threaded throughout all my work.Get Your Own! | ARTWORK copyright © pootinella. All rights reserved.

O n Fat Tuesday, artist Hugh Meade organized a
Mardi Gras Parade in his Mesta Park neighborhood.
His vision is to have neighborhood Mardi Gras parades
all over Oklahoma City that converge and culminate
in one grand location for celebration with feasting
and other festivities. The following are photos I took
from the very
