Found Art Friday 247

Dear ones,
Welcome to the Department of Homeland Inspiration where our job is to wonder how to discover the art in daily living.  The Art Ranger embarks on her eighth year here at her post and we welcome your participation, visitations and comments.  Art Ranger's art is to collect and reflect:

Nancy' Pelosi's foot giving 8 hours of DACA testimonials on senate floor

We started our weekly Found Art Friday quest intending to fold in some actual art history, paintings of Claude Monet that intersect with our daily image pathway.  But Sooooo often (these days) the week's external forces intersect radically through our soulgutz who are singing this song, so that we must deploy our sketchbook response mechanisms.

Nancy,  we hoped you soaked in Epsom Salts

We're glad that she did this, but ironically on about the same day this rocket thing is the story:

Elon's Musk must

Though the ingenuity, engineering and entrepreneurials are astounding, so is the hubris  ...  littering the orbit spheres with his car, even though space is big.  It's sort of heavy to be so lighthearted.
To be living in these times is to absorb more in your sponge daily than we are designed for.  The "idiocracy" is raging.  Naturally that predator would sloppily scatter around more predators in the office trying to insulate the layers of his lying machine bubble while taking extra ice cream during the stress of his, easily malleable yet thick lack, along with the cold sad sagging hyper-inflated.

Knickers in a twist

Then about a day after the rocket, it wants a Military Parade to prop its self up with violently costly display of ignorant impotence by a serial pucker-mouth grabber with spray-painted hair whom we wish we could ignore.

Recently the Art Ranger returned to her breeaeaeathtthing lessons class, which also encludes stre -e -e -eetchhhing, and the words very good just often enough so that one wants to just be centered. 

We love you  - beautiful tree, The Work Around

Art Ranger tries to build core strength so that one may do this when necessary.  Resist and persist, for instance. Grow around with alternate support system planted in earth.  Until we meet again.......

Found Art Friday 246

Dear Ones,

Have you gotten to the end of your rope and made it back?

Thank heaven for celestial events that can take us out of our shallows and allow us to lean in to the navel of the moon instead.  Great big and yet far away, how otherwordly it looked from nearly anywhere, like imperfect fruit hung up for gods that they show us once and a while.

Now most of you who visit the Department of Homeland Inspiration, or who live by the same principles, know that the Art Ranger relishes the Why? of this image spotting vocation and service.
As we stroll one street off the main drag,  here it is all alone in a tall dark empty nameless storefront:

and even stranger that it seems to be a plastic replica of an old thing

 We are trying to shift focus and not get ground up in its beef, or fibrillated by the information debris trail. 

Each day so jaw dropping that there are now dents in our floor and bloodied tongues as the misguided missile clowncar careens across the blessed earth.

An exercise in looking at shit, acknowledging it and moving on  - without engaging with it

Have a stellar week, and we hope you may enjoy the random encounter with visual chatter.
