Graffiti Reflected in a Window in Belgrade photographer: Bibi
graffiti artist: unknown?
my painting Claim the Momentacrylic on canvas, 30" x 40"
private collection, Fort Worth
Daryl of Out and about in New York City noticed the stylistic similarity between the work of the Belgrade graffiti artist(s) and my own work. She brought it to the attention of Bibi, who had taken the photograph and posted it on her blog A Yankee in Belgrade. Bibi wandered over here and said, yes, Daryl's right. You have an artful cousin scaling the walls in Belgrade. I went to check out things for myself.
For the record, this is no coincidence. When a wannabe graffiti virtuoso, a tourist from Santa Fe, with more than a little fear of heights, who is clumsy and skittish when it comes to scaffolding, when that tourist visits Belgrade and is introduced to the national drink...

...well, how you say it? Magic happens. Inhibitions and phobias are quickly shed and artistic courage heightens exponentially.

How cool is that? So very.
Artistic courage has paid off!
Yeah, I knew that you were one of a kind - and prolific - San. Your beautiful art that makes me want to sing just pops up everywhere!
Inhibitions and phobias shed, artistic courage heightened... I want some of that stuff you were drinkin'!!!
:-)
Cool's the word, Daryl.
Yes, indeed, Leslie. Yes, indeed.
I could use a little of the elixir myself, Carol.
LOL @ your head! It really looks like a painting of yours!
Chewy, I love to hear you LOL.
Волим привид, Сан. Дивно забавно. Најљепше жеље за вас из Београда.
Paschal--Ziveli!
OH!
I
LOVE
IT.
So glad you were a brave girl, even if the courage was in liquid form.
:-D
And your painting is gorgeous,San.
Paschal, what I meant to say was:
Volim iluzija previše. Živeli!
Babs, too bad you weren't there. We could have made some really BIG statements!
San, very cool and I love your addition to the graffiti :)
Glad you noticed that little detail, JS.
Is the graffiti photo entitled "off with her head?" (the second one where you are peeking out).
Beautiful painting and I love the connections your blog friends made between the graffiti and your work. Amazing.
I should've thought of that caption myself, Suki.
Yes, I was pretty amazed by the connection myself.
So beautiful. I love both pieces. Wherever the courage came from, it yielded quite a dividend!
Sandy, that's a lovely way to put it. Thank you.
Love the painting San! I'm wondering if that pale bluish green streak is a pouring of artistic libation. :-)
Glad you had a good time. I visited my Mom recently. She's in full care aiming for the increased freedom of assisted living. Dad's paying close attention to her progress.
Sounds like you're doing very well. :-D
Love,
Lee
Talented works..
Art is the stored huney of human mind...keep it up!!!!!
With all Best Regards...
Yes, I can see they are so similar and a kinship in art, verry cool! I love your painting San, it's so awesome!!
That is quite amazing!
Your painting is lovely......... and that head springing up like that made me smile!

My goodness, what a dark horse you are, so this is what you get up to in your spare time? The similarities are quite uncanny, how amazing! I love what you did with this, such fun!
Lee, I like your vision!
I knew you'd been a bit quiet over at your blog but didn't know your mom was having this rough time. I'm sorry.
Thanks for visiting, Joy, and for your kind words.
Lynne, I'll be on the lookout for the lynxie trees on the sides of buildings here in New Mexico.
;)
Maggie, you have such a beautiful smile.
xo
WOW that's so cool San :)
Shrinky, when I first say that photograph, it made my day! Glad you enjoyed it.
Akelamalu, it's way cool. I would love to see it in person.
Another great ride...all the way to Belgrade with refreshments...you never disappoint...thanks!
Oh, this is cute, San! And yes, you do have an artistic cousin in Belgarde!
San, thanks for your visit and for following my blog. I'm glad to meet you, too. I love the painting on your current post. I'm hoping to do a little more work this summer while I am off from school (between working on grandchildren projects). I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Amazing!
I agree wholeheartedly with Murat11! I think. When I've learned to speak Russian, I'll let you know.
Amazingly clever! The painting sings.
Ha, that's funny!
How very cool. I love your painting and that reflection is pretty cool. Love the head in the second one. I did email you about Julie. Let me know more.
:-) This one is good! Who would have thought it? Courage always pays off! I love the parallels!
Thanks San!
your arts are very beautiful..
Happy Father's Day to Dads in your life.
bwahahaha! fantastic! peekaboo! i see you. ;)
what synchronicity and kinship with the world-- so striking and colorful and passionate - way to go!
Hi San, I like your titles and the comparison is grand. Your posts are always enjoyable. Funny...I didn't even see your head the first time through. There are so many ways of seeing.
Hey San
Sorry i was busy and working on my blog to make some changes.. I am missing you a lot and waiting for your new post with some more paining. Love Sabi
your post about the red thread reeled me in. i think some threads reel, some pull. some might get knotted. i've been needing art like yours. glad to find you, but i don't remember how i got here, other than by some thread.
Oh San that was funny, but you know when I saw the picture, I saw your style immediately, lol. Now we all know you are unique artist. Anna :)
Love Santa Fe. Spent Christmas there two years ago on my next visit I will stop by.
Stop by and visit.
Dove
if you keep drinking that stuff...
you'll lose your head!

I'm with Daryl - how cool is that entirely!!
The similarity is striking. Artful kindred spirits, you two. :)

It was fun, Kate.
Janie, I look forward to your visits. When I get around to posting again.
Meg, you're amazing.
Spark, by all means let me know.
Andra, your comment makes me sing.
Jeff, it never takes that much to make you laugh. I admire that in you.
Raven, I'll send you another update with regard to our friend.
Kim, you know all about the courage, and the parallels.
Thanks, Jingle. Same back to yours, retroactively. Very retroactively.
Lime, your laughter is extreme and oh so enjoyable.
Thanks, Donna. Synchronicity is a great word here.
Maggie, yes, I believe there are as many ways of seeing as there are people, probably many more than that.
Sabi, I'm so glad you're back in blogland.
Sherry, what counts is you're here. I'm so glad. I hope to see you again.
Anna, how great that you saw "my" style right away. :D
Dove, I will certainly get by your place. Thanks for visiting.
You're right, JB. Would that be a good thing or a bad thing?
Aims, entirely.
Cathy, thank you so much.
Angel, your little one is lovely. I'm SO happy for you.
Awesome! My sons are artist, among other things. They Love this stuff!
