About The Artwork

As I travel down the back roads Of this home I love so much Every carpenter and cowboy, Every lame man on a crutch They're all talking bout this feeling Bout a taste that's in the air They're all talking bout this mighty wind That's blowing everywhere Oh a mighty winds a blowing It's kicking up the sand It's blowing out a message To every woman, child and man Yes a mighty winds a blowing Cross the land and cross the sea It's blowing peace and freedom It's blowing equality From a lighthouse in Bar Harbor To a bridge called Golden Gates From a trawler down in Shreveport To the shore of one Great Lake There's a star on the horizon And it's burning like a flare Its lighting up this mighty wind That's blowing everywhere Oh a mighty winds a blowing It's kicking up the sand It's blowing out a message To every woman, child and man Yes a mighty winds a blowing Cross the land and cross the sea It's blowing peace and freedom It's blowing equality When the blind man sees the picture When the deaf man hears the word When the fisherman stops fishing When the hunter spares the herd We'll still hear the wondrous story Of a world where people care The story of this mighty wind That's blowing everywhere Oh a mighty winds a blowing It's kicking up the sand It's blowing out a message To every woman, child and man Yes a mighty winds a blowing Cross the land and cross the sea It's blowing peace and freedom It's blowing equality Yes it's blowing peace and freedom It's blowing you and me! ‘A Might Wind’ by The Folksmen, Mitch & Mickey, The New Main Street Singers Songwriters: Michael John Mckean / Harry Shearer A Mighty Wind is a 2003 American mockumentary comedy film about a folk music reunion concert in which three folk bands reunite for a television performance for the first time in decades. The film was co-written (with Eugene Levy), directed, and composed by Christopher Guest. The film is widely acknowledged to reference folk music producer Harold Leventhal as the inspiration for the character of Irving Steinbloom. More broadly, the film parodies the American folk music revival of the early 1960s and its personalities. Guest co-stars and reunites many of his company of actors from This Is Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, and Best in Show for this film. They include Eugene Levy (who also co-wrote the screenplay), Catherine O'Hara, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, Fred Willard, Bob Balaban, Ed Begley Jr., Jennifer Coolidge, John Michael Higgins, Jane Lynch and Parker Posey.

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
