Corn Kings and Maize Giants

Water Nymph




Pat Brutchin
came to my Labor Day
Drawing Marathon
and showed me
some pictures,
which gave me the idea
of starting a blog
(my 15th !)
to follow the wandering imaginations
of her
and everyone else
who, at some point,
studied with Dick Miller.

And perhaps,
to note some
of the connections

(for example,
the title of the above)




Spring Nude



and the carefree spirit
of a piece like this

Maize Giant


Though,
I'm not sure
that old R.J.
would have given this fellow
a pair of jockey shorts
