This is a staged portrait, well not the teddy bear, he always has that, but the suitcase. You can tell by his face that he is just starting to get iritated with me. This is the first one in this series. The second is where he threw his arms up and crossed them and made a mad face at me and the last is where he walked off with his teddy bear, because he was done!

My Teddy Bear by Jacob Wallace (my oldest son :0) My Teddy is my best friend / he goes with me everywhere, / He’s torn and dirty and missing an eye, / but I don’t really care / He’s there for me when I’m happy / and even when I’m sad, / I know he will always love me, / even when I’m bad / We’re friends till the end / I will never let him go, / Even when I’m old and gray, / I’ll have my bear to show.

They were sisters. The oldest was shorter and smarter. The younger of the two was taller and shaped like her father, thin and wiry. Only 16 months separted the two…but they could never quite get along. She loved her sister and would do anything for her but deep down she really didn’t like her very much and she would smile inside when she failed.

My grandmother had ten sisters and when I was seven she told me this story. It was apparent at an early age that the oldest of the daughters had a special talent. She was an excellent seamstress and could make beautiful dresses from simple materials. At the age of fifteen she left the family farm and moved to the city. She soon found a job as a seamstress at a small shop. In the city, she discovered a newfound freedom and because she inherited her father’s milky skin and her mother’s jet black wavy hair she soon realized that she could easily pass as white. A year later she married and five children soon followed. She never returned home to the family farm and stopped all contact with her family except an occasional letter at Christmas. In her new life she had found something…and she did not want to add the dark black blemish of her identity to her new white life. Somewhere, I have five cousins who have no idea there mother is a black woman, with roots and family rich in heritage and culture, born on a faraway farm in a not so faraway land. Her name was Bella but everyone called her Bug. Casein Paint and prisma color on canvas Original for sale (Red Frame and gold mat)
This is an acrylic painting on canvas. It was created in response to a Nina Simone song, Sinner Man. In the song, a sinner man runs to the river but its boiling. He also runs to the rock, the Lord, and the sea but no one can hide or help him. So he finally runs to the Devil who is waiting for him.

Acrostic Poem
I began to write a poem about creativity being stolen and it manifested into this…still trying to decipher it all myself..one love.
The African-American experience is inseparable from the development of the United States. Black Americans fought in the American Civil War under the 54th Massachusetts Regiment to valiantly protecting American Airmen as the “Red Tails,” Tuskegee Airmen. Black Culture, although many times denigrated in American society has always brought forth its best in the richness of writing, music, art, dance and the sweat, blood, and toil of American Black men and women.
