a serene painting of a lake scene...
The colors turned out very nice...

New York City *Amazing HUGE Hand Painted Murals... How Do They Do It???

Sarah Jessica Parker

10 stories high..
and all Hand Painted on the side of
a building???

Being a Mural Artist Myself I know what it entails
to hand-paint a mural.. a large mural..
Not to mention a Colossal Mural!!
Our Our Guide Kate pointed out to us
that she sees during her many runs
Murals go up in a flash..
Hanging from scaffolding high in the sky
these murals go up and are painted over regularly.
How Do they do it.. I was able to catch a crew going
over an old mural preparing
to paint a new one over it..
How do they paint Jaguars, Movie ads,
Beverage promo all by hand in such
perfection and so quickly???
My hats off to these artists..
I would love to know their secrets!!
Obviously they cant project the image on...
they cant use the grid system..

If you can give me insight as to How they do it..
Please enlighten Me..

POEM WITH A CUCUMBER IN IT by Robert Haas

Sometimes from this hillside just after sunset

The rim of the sky takes on a tinge

Of the palest green, like the flesh of a cucumber

When you peel it carefully.

*

In Crete once, in the summer,

When it was still hot at midnight,

We sat in a taverna by the water

Watching the squid boats rocking in the moonlight,

Drinking retsina and eating salads

Of cool, chopped cucumber and yogurt and a little dill.

*

A hint of salt, something like starch, something

Like an attar of grasses or green leaves

On the tongue is the tongue

And the cucumber

Evolving toward each other.

*

Since cumbersome is a word,

Cumber must have been a word,

Lost to us now, and even then,

For a person feeling encumbered,

It must have felt orderly and right-minded

To stand at a sink and slice a cucumber.

*

If you think I am going to make

A sexual joke in this poem,

you are mistaken.

*

In the old torment of the earth

When the fires were cooling and disposing themselves

Into granite and limestone and serpentine and shale,

It is possible to imagine that, under yellowish chemical clouds,

The molten froth, having burned long enough,

Was already dreaming of release,

And that the dream, dimly

But with increasing distinctness, took the form

Of water, and that it was then, still more dimly, that it imagined

The dark green skin and opal green flesh of cucumbers.

Don't forget to put CUCUMBERS
