My rose garden is pretty ordinary by most standards. This is not a beatifully well kept rose garden. People don’t stop by to comment or view. They pretty much walk on by without a glance. But I am so delighted when a bloom appears! Each bloom is a treasure and I stare and wonder what I did right to get this beautiful gift shining in the morning sun or shaded so softly with the evening light. Yes, by some standards this is just an ordinary Rose but to me it is precious.

I love how water clings to different objects and creates such shapes… This is just an ordinary dandelion puffy thing after it rained one day. Taken with a Sigma 105mm macro lens…

Sometimes I’m amazed by how such a simple subject can turn out into such a beautiful image. So initially when the leaf dropped into the water, I wanted to capture the ripples in the water, but then the water turned so silky smooth and I just had to fire away. Probably best viewed in large format.

This is a scan of a painting I finished last night; one of two scans I made, showing a small part of the whole. The other scan may be found here The original painting (and, while there is drawing on it, it is mostly painted) is on Lyons artist canvas, and is 16” x 20”. The paints were Copper paint for concrete (for the background), and watercolor tempura; some sharpies were also involved, as were gel pens. The name is ‘Ordinary Me’ as it also says somewhere within its design. The idea is.. how do I put this? It is two-fold. The first idea is in regards to how people pass down ordinary streets, in ordinary neighborhoods, past ordinary buildings, in their ordinary cars or on their ordinary feet or in that ordinary bus, and feel that nothing changes, nothing is outstanding, nothing matters. But, all around them, in the bus that they are on or which passes by, in front or behind them if not beside them on the sidewalk, in many of the apartments or department stores or offices that they go past, there are thousands of tales of love, lust, deceit, tragedy, honor, and heroism unfolding, closing, or continuing on their way. The second idea is that in most cases all the truly well remembered persons sprang from the ordinary. Sure, some were born to be the King of some country or other, or super rich, or super poor, or blind, or to be the Son of God. The majority, however, were just ordinary. There was a young boy, lightly covered in muck as young boys are, in a small and rather uninteresting bit of an island where it rained too much, for instance. That young boy grew up to be a national hero,who is remembered in some fashion, after centuries, not just by the people he sprang from or the people he sprang at, but by many peoples the world over. Mind you, before anyone bites my head off, I should point out that I do not find the island particularly uninteresting, or even the bit where he came from, but, many people do. When they think of exotic trips and places where heroes might spring from, very few people choose someplace relatively flat, where it’s drizzling lightly on the days when it’s decided not to pour down instead, preferably in a hut of in determinant quality. But, that is where he came from. Nothing grand, just another ordinary boy, living an ordinary life, who would have remained ordinary if it wasn’t continually insisted that he live otherwise. It is the province of ordinary persons to be extraordinary. That is the point of the word extra being at the beginning of the word extraordinary. Am I getting this right yet? I don’t know. Hmm .. artwork is a celebration of life, food is a celebration of life, heroes and champions of causes are protectors of life, and the lives they celebrate, that they champion, are the ordinary. As beautiful, strong, resourceful, interesting is to ordinary, so ordinary is to beautiful, strong, resourceful, and interesting. The ordinary desires apply: to be seen, to be loved, to be protected, to love, to see, to protect. So, they, by exhibiting these qualities, are not set apart, except in that they have done more than wish for potential, they have reached for it. This is also, more directly, about me. Why? Because, I am ordinary? Uhm, no, and yes. lol I have no grand illusion, allusions, or designs. I want my art to be loved for itself, not for me; I want to be loved for myself, not my art. To me the best life is the ordinary. You know, not too much, but not too little; enough that you can help others and be fairly comfortable yourself, can paint if you would like or do some fun things, but, even if I had the money for a fancy mansion or yacht or any of that, I wouldn’t be interested. Well, there are a few places where they have giant houses that I might be interested in, because they have a lot of land, and wild buffalo, and water, and enough room to house all my family at once if we cared to live that way. But, I think you see my point. If I had the money to shop at Nordstrom’s, I would shop well at Wal-Mart, Target, Cato’s, J.C.Penney’s, Ross’ Dress for Less, and many fine thrift stores- and i’d shop for more people. Some people think I put on airs, you see, try to be different. The truth is, that I strive for normalcy. ‘Ordinary Me’ is, then, also about desire, to converse on equal terms of understanding, to share in activities that others tend to take for granted, and to live the sort of life that falls into the category of “ordinary”. I don’t, I never have, and to me, when I think of it, it shines! PS: Yes, the original is for sale. Make me an offer, a very good offer, and understand that it buys you the canvas and the right to stare at it for as long sa you like, etc. but I can still sell prints and you cannot! Thank you! I have to say that, unfortunately, as some people have very strange ideas that when they buy a piece of art it means they own it in all its forms and it no longer belongs to the artist, at all. .................................................... / ................................................. More group weirdness. This and two other pieces were rejected by the All Orange Group for failing to meet their guidelines; their guidelines being that the pieces must be 80 percent orange or that orange must dominate the piece with one other color included. Right? Okay, so here was my email to them: Hello, I am writing this email to both of the co-hosts of the All Things Orange group, at once. I would like to know why it was decided that ‘Slice of Ordinary Me 12 06 2008’ and the ‘Slice of Ordinary Me 4 Tee’ were rejected. I can see your point with the other one, from the same painting, as, unfortunately, it does not show up as being nearly as orange on the computer as it does in real life. It is over 80 percent orange, though, because the entire background is orange and every single aspect of it shines through with an orange tint, or is a pure orange. However, I shall not ask you about that one. The other too are varying shades of orange, but are well over 80 percent orange. They are almost completely orange in fact, except for the black outlines and mild touches of green and blue. On top of that, one of them is a design on an orange t-shirt, which has only been submitted to exist on an orange t-shirt, for the purposes of being included in the All Things Orange group. These two are yellow-orange, red-orange, hot orange, bright orange, and super light almost white orange. So, why were they rejected, please, because they do fit the groups guidelines and so I do not accept that they do not as the answer for their rejection; and I am very tired of being rejected by groups and given excuses that do not fit the situation. Thank you very much for your time. Arletta PS ORANGE GROUP: This was accepted by the person who responded to my emails, back when the above was posted, which was some time ago now. I just hid it, along with many other works for a while, and am now resubmitting. PS “Featured” sort of groups: THIS HAS BEEN FEATURED

All in Editing Group: I submit this on the basis of it originally being a painting on actual canvas, which was then scanned, cropped, resized and added to a t-shirt .. so .. definitely edited, and for specific purpose. One day, if and when I return (yes, I really am going! lol), and by that I mean “If God is willing”, not that I am planning on not returning, I shall try to remember to put all the right sort of links up for this piece. Until then, enjoy! If you desire another color of t-shirt, let me know and I’ll be glad to help you out by temporarily adding that other color on. .................................................... / .................................................

It had been a fairly ordinary day until the breakdown…

Many, many years ago I was at the Bottom Line in the Village to listen to Don McLean and was mesmerized by the simplicity of his performance. Lori Lieberman (1971) wrote Killing Me Softly with His Blues in response to seeing Don McLean. It was later covered by Roberta Flack (1973) and still later by the Fugees (1996). Killing Me Softly is a song that came to mind as I made this image which has nothing to do with Don McClean, but does have to do with being moved by music. I worry about the fate of music in schools as I hear from friends that so many school systems seem to be cutting the arts from their offerings for students. In my world, there is nothing as essential or important as preserving the arts both in and out of school. Best viewed large.
