Van Gogh's Monster

My Entry for the Waking Up With Van Gogh show at the Hickory Museum of Art.

We all have our own monsters under our beds, keeping us awake at night.

Even so, I am not going to cut off my ear.

Devil Head Blues

Devil Head in Poplar with bottle caps, painted and unpainted metal. Don't devils often tempt us by their flashing beauty?

I Only Have Eyes For You

Devil Jug by Michael Ball.

Monkey Business

One of the reasons I like Albert Hodge is that his pottery is filled with humor. Bawdy humor sometimes, but humor nonetheless. Fun art is good.

Excellent Hodge

An outstanding small face jug by Catawba County potter Albert Hodge.

Blue, Purple, Green, and Brown

Bottle Tree. My first.

Medusa the Temptress

Another view of Medusa. Even without snakes for hair, women make men do crazy things.

Blue Eyed Medusa

Medusa in painted sycamore, holly, and metal.

With blue eyes. I've known a few of those.
