Large Watercolor: Little River Boat Ticket Building (My Title) [I Love this One!] A Little Building That Existed Down by the Mississippi River, in St. Paul (It Might Still Be There! I Want to Find Out!)

The words along the overhang say "RIVERBOAT TICKETS"; and the small placard between the windows says, "TICKET OFFICE".

Watercolor & Colored Pencil: "Flowers for My Ann and Teri" - My Mom Had Entered this In the State Fair (I Had it Re-Matted, to also Show the Entry-Tag & Title My Mom Lettered on the Back)

Large Watercolor, with Paper Cutting: Old Western Gulch, with Cut-Out Paper Water Tower, and Interesting Guy in the Middle (My Titile)

Yup: You know what it says across that there water tower? "GULCH".  :)

Double-Sided Surprise Watercolor! Tea Cup & Saucer, Little Copper Teapot & Pomegranite On One Side, Wineglass on the Other!

My Mom cracks me up! I was going to trim the painting (shown in the top photo), when I happened to flip this over, and see the wine glass on the other side! It made me smile. What made me even more delighted, though, is that, after seeing the painting with the tea cup, etc. I was hoping and wishing that I had saved that same tea cup itself (from my Mom's house) - and then, behold! I found it! Happy day! I got to place the tea set on top of a shelf here, in front of the painting. (I have a pic of that, & will post it later.)

I asked Kelley Gallery (in Hudson) to create a double-side frame for this; and to position the copper wire so that I could flip it over and hang it to either side. They added a touch of gold paint to the back too. It works! :)

Pastel, Lovely Woman in Middle-Eastern Head Wrap

Watercolor, "EXIT" Out of Babylon the Great (My Title)

I can definitely see inferences of the book of Revelations symbolism - regarding the spiritual adultery of, and darkness and evil mayhem inside of - churches of "Babylon the Great" depicted in this piece! "EXIT" - so warns God Himself, too! (Revelation 18:4,5) 

There is one thing though. This originally had a cross at the top of the building's biggest dome. I could not, by conscience, display it in my home with that. So, I got an Exacto knife, held my breath, and cut that little bit out!

Now, I keep this painting near my front door - for motivation to get out there; and preach Jah's own scriptural blessing and warning messages to everyone.

My Mom's family had a farm, with horses, out in White Bear Lake, MN (as well as a house in St. Paul...) This, to me, says, that, yes, she did have some love for nice, friendly, pretty horses!

Lilac Love

"When a Person Has Mettle, Obstacles Become Stepping Stones" Colored Pencil, Cut and Stuffed Paper, Dried Weed, Caligraphy

This was a larger piece of paper, with some damage around the outside - and I also had a frame I was aiming to have it placed in - and so I dared do a hack job myself, of cutting it down, around the outside, using a pair of decorative scissors that my Mom had also left me...

Original Lithograph Made From Copper Plate, Titled, "Where is Everybody?"

Little boys, like her sons (my little brothers), waiting for their playmates to come out to play! Back in those days, we REALLY did PLAY - outside, in the creation, with other kids! We played yard games, made tent houses, roller-skated on the driveway, played jump rope, etc, etc! We exercised our imaginations constantly. (This was all before even PONG [a first video game] set in!) My Mom, Trudy, WAS the neighborhood "Kool Aid" (and popcorn, etc!) Mom too!! We grew up during the recession (and there were other straining problems from another person) but WE KIDS HAD FUN, anyway! My Mom made sure of that. Love you forever, Mom! :)
