- Van Gogh’s Gear 200 Middle St, Lowell MA
I have been living and working in Lowell for five or more years now, and I have yet to explore the city. Late last year I lost access to my personal transportation, at first I thought it would be difficult, but it has turned out a plus for me. In the begining I was being given a ride to and from work (my part-time job as a Resident Service Coordinator), after I opted to take public transportaton. It was the best decision I made. While driving around or being driven around I missed out on the beauty of the city. Though walking is a major challenge for me at the moment and I mean it hurts at times, I love taking my time and just enjoy the view, with my camera in tow of course. Here are some pictures I took of my local art supply store, http://www.vangoghsgear.com/ normally I would run in, get my supply, hop in my car and leave. Now I have to wait on the bus across the street which leaves me choice but to enjoy the view.

Work in Progress (WIP) “Roots & Branches”
Further WIP of "Roots & Branches"
I have never blogged on WIPs, but there is always a first time for everything. As with all art work, words conjure up images, “Roots & Branches” did just that.
Here I have looked at the phrase in terms of how we are as human in our diversity, and migration.
Absolutely no one on this planet is indigenous to the area we currently are, should we trace our family tree, there was migration to some extent, whether continental, local, or regional, we all follow the “herd”. You may have lived on main st, somewhere all your life, and have been there with your parents, but check to see how your grandparents, got there. Maybe by foot, horse drawn buggy, boat, car, or plane, yes we are all scattered seeds with a connection.
We migratre, marry inter-racially, combine cultures, customs, ethnic traditions, and religious beliefs which produces diversity.
This is the first in a two part painting of “Roots & Branches”, comments are welcome.
