Oil on Canvas, Detail of larger portrait portrait / American Poet 1807 – 1882. / A man of great ferocious tempo and histories. Still one of the most popular of our poets: Hiawatha, The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, etc. / Henry Longfellow lived almost fifty years of his life while Queen Victoria ruled Britain from 1837 – 1901. There may have been some concentrated American effort to stand apart by lauding our pioneers and savage North America, and it sure wasn’t thwarted by being politically correct. Imagine while high tea was being mimicked on Park Avenue, this famous yankee poet had the courage to come up with the swashbuckling but doomed fantasy (loosely based on history c.1400) that started on the shores of Gitche Gumee, progressed to Daughter of the Moon Nokomis and right up and into the shining Big Sea Water! It was an instant & roaring success. Enough feathers were ruffled to make parodies galore, but it’s 125 years later and I’m not the only one who still remembers Longfellow’s words and wants a feather in my braid. The story teller poets were marvelous conjurers, Longfellow one of the best. / I met Nokomis when I was about seven years old and longed to make that birch bark canoe, moonlight, and woody adventureland my own. And Longfellow’s incredible epic of courage, mysticism, language, wildlife, and natives on these shores remain about one of the greatest tributes to Indian nations ever composed by anybody. Now also available on RedBubble T Shirts! Full selection of color, great shirts. / Email: hawk@hawksperch.com / for details and price on the original oil painting. / Website: THE HAWKS PERCH, www.hawksperch
A working lunch.. the Gentleman calls! The working girl entertains.. such afternoon delight!
I took this shot in Nice, France. The original shot was non-digital, so I took a digital photo of the shot and tried a blue tint. I kind of like it this way…it’s like he’s a detective and only The Shadow Knows…for sure. :) / I originally caption titled the photo: / Pondering My Past, Present & Future / (seems like this chap could be doing that as well). Sold 1 Mounted Print to a mystery RB buyer in England.

“Mr Wegg, if you was brought here loose in a bag to be articulated, I’d name your smallest bones blindfold equally with your largest, as fast as I could pick ‘em out, and I’d sort ‘em all, and sort your vertebrae, in a manner that would equally surprise and charm you.” – Mr. Venus, Articulator – from the book Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens Stock: Bird: Archistock http://archistock.deviantart.com/art/Creepy-Bird-77455534 / Surgeon’s stuff: Lockstock http://lockstock.deviantart.com/art/Surgeon-s-Table-01-10250561 / Hat: Peace-of-art http://peace-of-art.deviantart.com/art/Two-Top-Hats-61892310 / http://www.sxc.hu/photo/546034 My own stock: Foxstox http://foxstox.deviantart.com/art/Abandoned-Farmhouse-83028054 / textures, all else – are mine. ©2007-2008 Aimee Stewart, Foxfires

I saw this random guy at my local ART OF JOE Cafe. I thought he could use some company. And it was cool as the one guy was leaving in the distance. It seemed to have a story. Now I wonder what he was reading. Oh well…photos are supposed to leave a lot to the imagination…right? ;)
Another shot from the Rail Transport Museum at Thirlmere in the Southern Highlands of NSW (Australia), taken in July 08 … I have been searching for a dapper gentleman to match my Flapper in Anticipation ... could this be the one?!

I got so excited when I captured this candid at a cafe in Paris. It just seemed like a bit scene in a new BOURNE ULTIMATUM movie or something. Who knows…maybe he is an undercover agent. What do you think? LOL :)

In my 8th grade World History class, my teacher Mr. Billings wrote on one of my term papers: “To a gentleman and a scholar…” and I never forgot that. Here is an image I saw of mosaics on a NY Subway wall that I enhanced on PhotoShop that I call “The Scholar”. Sold 1 laminated print to a RedBubbler.
I love roses! They’re my favorite flower (and are very fun to draw). This chibi isn’t too recent for me, but he was too cute not to ignore as a possible t-shirt design. His name is Gaven and he’s ready to be a gentleman upon your chest! Textures from CGtextures.com.
Except when he’s asked to canter and then all manners go out the window, lol. That sweet teddy bear, Olaf once again. /

Boxers are an incredibly graceful and very independent breed, very willing to work, but unwilling to be ordered around. Friedrun Stockmann, a German breeder whose work with boxers helped to make the breed what it is today, described the Boxer as “a gentleman amongst dogs with short coats. He not only wants the best food, he wants to be handled in a civilized manner, too.” The Boxer is not, and was never meant to be, an “attack dog”. However, lack of aggression does not equal lack of protection. Boxers are natural guard dogs, and the first breed ever to be used as Service Dogs in the US. They partner people who are blind, deaf, lame, in wheelchairs, etc. Not one of them has ever been successfully mugged. Not one of them has had their home successfully broken into when their Boxer Service Dog has been present. These dogs know when things aren’t right and they will act accordingly. A typical Boxer is a gentle creature without aggressive tendencies and a one-dog home-entertainment center. He is a quick learner, though he is just as quick to unlearn any task for which he does not see a reason. He is easy-care, intelligent, athletic, and faithful; a trustworthy pet for an active family … As Matthew Cowley said in his article ‘Canine Clowns’: A boxer is “a laugh a minute, lives life to the fullest, a maximum velocity version of canine slapstick.” What more could an dog lover ask for?

This shop has been there for a while. Looking on the signs and ad stands I would make a guess it is in business for 40 years or more at the same address. The inside is even more impressive. Space there is highly organized. You would not find a little square of surface being empty for no reason. Most of the wall shelving is filled with sewing accessories: needles, threads, bobbins, foot attachments, lubricants, manuals, cables. Floor and stairs are orderly covered with machines of different brands, years of manufacture, sizes and, I suppose, prices. In between there are walking paths wide enough to fit a single person. If there are 2 people on a path, one of them will need to get in a small pocket to allow other one to pass. / Gentleman sitting outside near Singer is waiting for his sewing machine to be repaired.
