The Halloween Feast

On By ResaIn Halloween, Street Art128 Comments

It’s for you!

Funny how the ring comes after I answer. MAWHAAAAA

Good News! Your rat and mandrake root pizza is ready!

The Mandrake root is specially grown in dead pumpkin graveyards.

It’s an exciting narcotic flavour, with hallucinogenic overtones.

However, we are unable to find grain fed rats anymore.

All rats are now 100% rat fed.

It makes for a tough chew, but with enough pepper on it, it doubles quite nicely for pepperoni.

It would be highly appreciated if you could pick your order up as soon as possible!

My entire family has shown up, and they’ve all got their eye sockets on your pizza.

It’s for Sherrie!

Happy Hallowe’en Birthday!

Our pastry chef has just arrived with his secret ingredients for your birthday cake.

Skullorita said she would bring it by before the party!

She’s bringing a bunch of happy-go-lucky party skulls along with her.

DJ No Way here to spin you tonight!

Call me crazy, but every time I hear this song,I get hungry!

Artemis or Diana?

Original thoughts went to Artemis.

Then again, I have read a bit about Artemis, and almost nothing about Diana.

This piece is 3 years old.

I’m crazy about it.

The abstract background is killer.

Artemis or Diana – In the end I see an amazing Power Woman.

BONUS

Recently Dan Anton over at No Facilities posted a series on his visit to the Heinz Museum, in Pittsburg.

Other notable women of Pittsburg include: Mary Cassatt, Martha Graham, Gertrude Stein, Mary Dee Dudley and Mary Cardwell Dawson.

There’s still 2 more Painted House posts coming up, after Halloween. Lots of pics to sort through.

Kitchen – The Painted House

On By ResaIn The Painted House111 Comments

It was mayhem, a potpourri of colour.

I fell in love with the tiger. I thought of all my cat pals.

Upon entering there is a face to the left.

Straight ahead, left side of the kitchen is another face and the stunning leopard head.

Everything was painted: the cupboards, the stove, the range hood, the walls, the windows and nothing was left to paint, except the paint itself.

So, the paint was painted.

On the right side is an all over abstract mural. I saw the eye, but didn’t see the face until looking at pics.

Here’s a slide show of some more kitchen bits.

  • Back door to the house
  • Down to the basement, kitchen to the right
  • First sight when I looked in
  • The eye wall corner

Basement – The Painted House

# Find Autumn Shaganash

It wasn’t until looking at the pics in the files, that I realized this face was of a missing indigenous woman.

Her name is Autumn, and she went missing in June, 2023.

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women

This is a prevalent reality all across Canada.

The basement wreck room was dark and narrow. Autumn was the feature art. How sad is that?

There was a bar on the left on your way out.

  • A bar at the foot of the stairs
  • The bar
  • Behind the bar
  • Back end of the wreck room

Backyard – The Painted House

On By ResaIn The Painted House118 Comments

It’s a tiny backyard, green & overgrown. Whoever lived there loved their yard.

At the back end of the yard was the side of the garage. One enters the garage from the alley.

This face& upper torso was painted on the garage’s side wall, decorated with old tools.

I think she’s holding an albatross, albeit with a straight beak. How cool would that be, to have an albatross of my very own?

Objects from inside the house & garage were brought into the yard and painted. This triptych made from 3 doors is really cool.

Below is a slideshow of some of the painted objects, and a full pic of the backyard.

  • Glass paned door
  • Piece of a car & chicken
  • Organ
  • Drawers
  • Log? cupboard and fence
  • I didn’t see any grass
  • Most of the backyard

Now, a diptych.

Bedroom- Painted House

On By ResaIn The Painted House139 Comments

In a dark second floor bedroom is this fabulous face.

The room was so dark and the colours of the painting so dark that some of the pics came out almost black.

It was quite the shock to my senses,

When I turned 180 degrees around, and saw this.

View of when you come out of the room, to go down the stairs. The black w/ green motif doorway on the right,

….. is a bathroom.

I told you I had a surprise for you on my stop of your Simple Pleasures book tour. All I had to do was pick 1 Bryan Ferry song. This turned out to be most difficult, overwhelming. Better late than never!
