Rockford Horrors: "The Biker"

The Biker

The Biker is roaring around the Tower throwing orange flames, followed by his "familiar" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familiar), the enormous bat you saw earlier.
 
This image was an inspiration for a T-shirt design I did for myself and family, celebrating our many years spraying water, not flames, riding our 1993 SeaDoo.

Greek Festival Week

Image
  Greek Festival Week This week is the annual Greek Festival at Wilmington's Holy Trinity Church.  I've painted the church twice, each one commissioned by a Holy Trinity parishioner.  A line of Greek dancers at the festival were elements of both paintings. A detail from the first painting, a watercolor on paper...  And a detail from the second painting, acrylic on canvas, now with ancient Greek dancers meeting the modern folk dancers...  Here's the second painting in its entirety...  Opa!

  Views of 18th Street   Our block is the upper end of W 18th St which terminates at Mount Salem Lane. This has given it a bit of an enclosed enclave vibe, where for a time the kids owned the street. And as we've been seeing, several accomplished professional artists have been part of this little community. I have taken this block as a subject for art itself in watercolors, acrylics, Christmas cards, and crafts. Here is a watercolor view of the north side of the block that I painted for a Christmas card.  The houses and the walking couple were painted separately, then scanned and combined digitally.

Artists of W 18th Street: Margo Mavrantonis Johnson

Image
  Artists of W 18th Street Margo Mavrantonis Johnson Margo Mavrantonis Johnson is a W 18th St artist who is still active, although no longer living on our block.  Margo is retired from her art teaching career but continues to paint professionally.  She paints a variety of subjects, but my favorites are the structures and streetscapes from her frequent European trips, especially to her second home, Greece.  We treasure her Christmas cards which depict a peripatetic snowman who has visited New Castle, Tuscany and Greece, but has yet to experience a meltdown.       Margo has a studio and gallery representation in the Opera House, 304 Delaware  Street in old New Castle, Delaware, and a web site at https://margojohnson.artspan.com/exhibits.html.  There is an extensive gallery of her work there.
