by Cheryl Crews Everything is always changing. Everything is always the same. One can look at a subject repeatedly and each time experience anew.Theconditions for seeing revolve. Our attitudes change. The light varies. The model moves. . To be an artist, one must continually stretch the limits of his flexibility, to avoid limp observing. Never before in the history of personkind has there been such an abundance of boring paintings, skimming the plateaus of mediocrity, and revealing naifow vision of the artists, and gullibility of the viewing public. The idea “If it rs painted, then it is Art" is quite passe, and though it rings true, let us regard it as the mole on the beauty’s cheek. Accepting no boundaries, one nevertheless needs a working structure, a point of view. A painter friend of.mine has read that there are 5,000 "professional" artists in the Delaware? Valley, each making images from his point of view, whether ridiculous or sublime. Imagine: an artist picks up a brush while thinking. ‘Til do something cute", and directs efforts of skill into depicting a likable subject playing with something pink and cuddly. If a harsh stroke should appear on the picture, it is eliminated, as are all forms, colei's, and lines that are not cute. When the painting elicits the response "Oh, how cute!", from its viewing public, then it has fulfilled its intent and the artist can rest happy, and probably earn a living. (Cute paintings are always big sellers because they stimulate pleasant if brief responses. Their simplicity makes them easy to live 4 with. The Victorian Age and product marketing helped to expand cute art. though its roots extend back until lost in those humorless tombs. Subjects victimized by the Cute Cult Include babies and other small animals, backyard fences, and watering cans.) In the days of great Church Art. the artist stopped at nothing short of inducing awe and inspiring piety, though to be sure, his pictorial limits were imposed upon him by his authorities and patrons. Freed from such restraints, the artist today selects his themes and sets his own goals. His work is a mark of his development, flagrantly displayed for all to observe. It is also a binding step in the chosen

Ever watchful, I am distracted from writing about it to observing it firsthand, as birds at my neighbor s feeder dance and eat and' preen. A flash of an underwing. a flurry of blue, a full Meeting Rescheduled The regular meeting of the Avalon Environmental Commission of February 7th, 1979 was canceled because of the weather.

A second line, a relationship. The third line makes tl* volume, and what of the fourth? Avalon Garden Club The regular monthly meeting of the Avalon Garden Chib will be held at 10 ,a.m. on Monday, February 26, 1179, in the Avalon room at Borough Hall. The official Williamsburg Foundation slides of the gardens will be presented with commentary.

Time is a journey in life of one who travels.. Time is something to be valued.. Tims is the look upon a face.. Time is a moment never replaced.. Time is memories of the past .. \ Time is always moving too fast.. Time is moments alone at night.. Time is three dimensions in life.. Time is never allowed to say good-by.. Time is often difficult to find.. Time is for a couple that I knew.. Time is to a soldier that is through. Time is pain that may never end. Time is a child’s best friend.
