George Simmons
Singing Self Times Four (my title for his self-portrait, made before digital cameras :^)

My Dad died thirteen years ago today. How he would have enjoyed Photoshop, and Julien Neel! I grew up hearing this tune...

Happy Weekend, All!

Trippin' With Beckmann

A few of Max Beckmann's rich, beautiful and disturbing triptychs. So visually satisfying. So powerful. (Wouldn't his iconic figures make an incredible Tarot deck!)
