Virgo Gets a Mermaid
From Marina Kanavaki at Art Towards a Happy day, here is the sixth sign of the Zodiac as imagined by Anakreon Kanavakis, Marina’s father. Seeing each astrological sign go by, in a drawing by him, is adding another joy to my life.
I’m a bit late with this one. Big excuse: I’ve been deliriously busy!!
A Poem from Merril
It’s difficult to pick a poem of Merril’s to share. I adore them all. This one is for the birds!
The fearless diva
From Marina Kanavaki at Art Towards a Happy day, here is the fifth sign of the Zodiac as imagined by Anakreon Kanavakis, Marina’s father. Seeing each astrological sign go by, in a drawing by him, is adding another joy to my life.
[July 23 – August 22]
Today is the first day of Leo, the fifth sign of the Zodiac.
Leo is a fixed fire sign, ruled by the Sun.
Renowned for their stability, loyalty, and consistency, Leos are natural leaders, but always with humour. The constellation Leo is associated with the mythological Nemean lion [Greek mythology].
Starting from the last [12th] sign, I’ll be posting these original illustrations, Anakreon Kanavakis created for a calendar. [check it out here]
I love these so much, I designed a whole set of products with them at my art shop.
Here are a few.
Happy Sunday!
Happy birthdays to all Leos out there
A morning walk, New York
I’ve wanted to reblog one of Brian’s street art posts for awhile now. He’s got a really fine collection. However, I’ve chosen this post that has street art in it, as well as other art. I love New York! Street Art only post coming soon!
November sky, New York.
Women washing (Les lavandières), 1888, by Gauguin. MOMA. In Arles, (thanks to Gilles Labruyère for the correction), during Gauguin’s brief stay with Van Gogh.
Shine on. South of Houston.
“Retrospective bust of a woman”, 1930. Salvador Dali. MOMA. The two peasants praying on top of the baguette remit to L’angélus by Millet. Strangely enough, I’ve seen exactly the same sculpture at the Botero museum in Bogotá, Colombia. Botero’s personal collection. I’ve heard that there many “authentic” copies of Dali in circulation…
A very nice little Chagall. “I and the village”, 1911. MOMA.
The Burglar in Love. (By Lawrence Block? No, no… just a joke)
Le charnier. (The charnel house). Picasso, 1945. MOMA. Maybe inspired by photos of the concentration camps. The style and structure has a hint of Guernica. I couldn’t help but think of the Bucha massacres of…

I’m honoured that Holly wrote a poem inspired by one of my drawings. Thank you forever, dear poet!

“There are things known and things unknown and then there are the Doors” Jim Morrison
They linger at the headstone
barely visible beneath dead Daffodils
reminiscing glory days
waiting for the phoenix to rise
thunder breaks the calm
a sudden disconnect
of enlightenment
they wander away
hymning the anthem
of the same old rock and roll

Scheheraholly II
Scheheraholly is inspired from a poem written by Holly – House of Heart
It was like “A Thousand and One Arabian Nights”, and Holly was like a Scheherazade.
The day she posted the poem, I had found a piece of alley art that played into the whole idea, especially the second last line.
I named it Sheheraholly. Now, I have found Scheheraholly II
Behind a van on an urban desert sand,
no one can see her eyes through her art.
The amazing violin solo is 2.5 minutes
