I can’t hold myself back! I have to post this geisha that I found.
I was going to wait,
…. but it’s so beautiful, I can’t.
Okay, back to catching up!

Bedroom- Painted House
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!
Simple Pleasures: Haiku From Just The Right Place

Welcome to the final stop of the Simple Pleasures blog tour!
Liz –Thank you, Resa, for hosting me for the final day of my blog tour for Simple Pleasures: Haiku from the Place Just Right!
Resa – My pleasure, Liz!
Liz -Today, I’m taking your readers to Cold Hollow Sculpture Park in Enosburg, Vermont. The park features dozens of sculptor David Stromeyer’s large-scale abstract metal sculptures spread over 45 acres of hay field.
Resa – I am thrilled about getting to feature David Stromeyer’s art, with your book of images with Haiku. I’ve chosen to use all of the options you sent. FYI readers – the names of the sculpture is below its photo.
Cold Hollow Sculpture Park
Liz – I first visited the park site with my dad in the early 1970s, when he was counseling someone who lived in the area. I remember that the sculptor lived on the property in a barn that had seen better days, which I found the epitome of counterculture cool.
At that time, Stromeyer had two, maybe three, sculptures completed and displayed. I vividly remember the one he’d created out of the tank of a smashed milk truck. The sculpture made such an impression on me that twenty years later, I included it in a short story.
Resa – Liz, I thoroughly enjoyed your book, and have selected my 2 fave Haiku for this post.

Old School Iguana
Still trying to catch up visiting, I offer this old school street art style Iguana, and close comments.
Love Old School!
In an almost empty parking lot in Greek Town….
…the 1 car was reasonably clean.
What a cool Iguana!
Lots to reflect on.

April Showers I
April Showers painted 2 works, one on the outside of the Painted House and one on the inside.
This is the one on the outside.
I fell for it in a heartbeat.
Here she is in context with other art on the outside.
I won’t be able to post all of the art individually, but will reveal amap in the process.

September
Check out this exquisite mural Diana – Myths of the Mirror painted on an outside wall of her studio.
The colours make me think of autumn, my fave season.
They go with the colours in this stained glass effect garage door at The Painted House.
The same artist did some art inside the Painted House, that had similar colours and that cool stained glass effect.
Holly picked September for my recent post on Art Gowns. It’s perfect for this post. Thank you Merril for suggesting I use it again!

Can you find Resa in the painted house collage?
Grapes Eyed Girl
Found this in the alley by “The Painted House”.
A house is being demolished, and artists were invited to paint it inside and out.
Of course I went, and shot lots of great art.
I will be featuring some of the art, and possibly an overview in the coming weeks, in between other art posts.
“The Painted House” will be closed and torn down after the weekend.
Thank you May, for the tip.
