LAKE WORTH STREET PAINTING FESTIVAL 2011

BestLakeWorthStreetPaintingFestival2011-

Street Painting Festival was a great success

painted castle scene I did express

that birthday party ended swell

I painted it by myself.

Tons of people passing by

sun shining brightly in the sky.

My back and shoulders did get burned,

spray sunscreen every 90 minutes I did learn

friends brought me water for concerned.

All in all the festival was great

Talked to an Italian guy with tattooed arms

he hung around but meant no harm.

He stood by me and talked and talked

as I painted scene with colored chalk.

Coloring books I gave out some for free

others sold at Stuart Rooney’s

Import store
on table by door.

All in all the show was great

next year I can’t wait

for then I will paint

a totally different funny scene

Make it more of palm trees.

Photographer Allen Schwartz

 

Click, click Allen’s camera goes
he clicks away as I pose…
At the Hazelden Art Show
I had on display my inspirational poems.
Allen interviewed me back in 1999
he asked me about my books I was working on at the time.
Allen invited me down to the Sunshine state
he introduced me to artist at the ‘Hut’ which was great!
introducing me to artists like Alan, Jack Barry and Harry
Allen took photographs of party very merry!
Allen recorded me one day in the quaint Lake Worth town
with artist Harvey who had fun going around.
Allen then had dark hair with a new style-
I found this photograph of him and it brought me a smile.
I just saw Allen on Thanksgiving this year
Allen again who was full of good cheer.
Thanks Allen for being a friend with a playful soul-
I look forward to more of your fun photos that glow!

Hummingbird Hotel

_Suzae2010streetpainting

There one was a Hummingbird hotelin Lake Worth I remember it well.

For it has stories to be told one is about Al Capone.

He stayed with his gang on one of the floors

betting on a team that would have a top score.

Betting on a boxing match

that was played in Chicago

little did anyone literally know.

Many years later I would paint on the sidewalk

just outside–

I was happy and filled with pride.

I was a rogue artist that did not give up–

even when they said there was no more spots.

Now this year the

Hummingbird hotel will be reopened

 with more stories need to be told–

Thank you Winston

for sharing what you know

and letting be in the Street Painting show.

TRIBUTE TO JACK BARRY

JackBarryPortrait

Artist and friend Jack Barry

Jack Barry who was born on April 17th

Born a day before and did succeed–

He was a great friend and artist indeed.

He took me to lunch when I first came

To the “Artist Hut”.

Yes, Jack had a studio in Flamingo Park

Next to railroad tracks where dogs always barked.

He did all kinds of style painting–

Fresco he was known for—

I have his one big painting by my door.

He was a great storyteller and a U.S. Vet-

He had a very interesting life of all the people

I have met.

I inherited his butterfly necklace people do see–

When I wear it around my neck all sparkly.

Thanks Jack for being a friend to me.

I wish you the best Brenda in your photography career

Bright Flower Paintings That Bloom

Chalk_painting_artist

Bright colored flowers start to bloom

with colored chalk in the activity room.

Residents use chalk to paint their flowers

that come to life–

I place strings at top of painting like a kite.

There finished chalk art hangs on their walls–

they are happy I shared my chalk–

they had a ball.

Artist Herbert Hofer

Herbert_Hofer_Artist

Artist Herbert Hofer Miami Florida

Austrian actor comes to the U.S.,

who would of guessed, he would be such a success.

Living in South Beach since 1988, he has lots of stories to tell–

— his life was great!

Now he’s sixty five, and still living in the sunshine

sipping his beer or wine, reminiscing while passing the time.

Reminiscing of his black cat, his black cat was so divine.

Black cat in all his paintings even on his ceiling of his condo

cat brings his paintings humor with a “special glow”.

Also sold painting to Arnold Schwarzenegger

another Austrian actor I thought you should know.

ARTIST NANCY WALLER by Suzae Chevalier

Artist Nancy Waller at he studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I remember hearing a voice,

“go down this road” was the choice.

Road 42nd Street West in south Minneapolis.

Great visual artist I would meet,

She drew wild life animals detailed and neat.

Nancy Waller was her name,

she drew endangered species

to help bring about awareness and change.

she was the best artist I loved her most of all,

she went to her see her at the museum,

took photos with her that where very pleasing.

I was happy for Nancy designed,

coloring books  as cute and fine.

Nancy got my books off to a great start,

she inspired me and has a pure heart.

Thank you Nancy for inspiration and passion too,

you’re a great artist, through and through.
