Not to worry. Fair is fair.
I'll go ahead and do the print anyway and see what
happens.

Subject: [Baren 18646] Poe 

For all those who are interested ....

Poe is a crow I rescued in the local cemetery when he was very young. I had 
to take him to bootcamp with me because he required feeding several times a 
day. All participants could tell when he was hungry, because he made quite 
a racket when I left him too long.

Anyway, Poe took his first freedom flight today. I set his cage up on the 
back deck, arranged so the cats would not be a problem, and I left the door 
open. After an hour or so of indecision, he made a wide, booming flight up, 
around a tall cedar tree, and onto the peak of a neighboring roof where 
there were several crows. The crows did not take kindly to the little new 
comer and harassed him across several roof tops and chimneys. He finally 
flew out of sight.

While I was sad he was not immediately accepted, I was encouraged by a 
number of factors. First, his flying ability was first rate. He had no 
trouble taking off from any surface and was quite acrobatic in his flight. 
Second, he did recognize his own kind readily. He does not seem to be 
bonded to humans at all.

I will leave his open cage with food and water out for several days. He 
knows it as a safe haven. We all wish him well. And I want to thank the 
bootcamp participants for their patience with Poe and with me.

Cheers ......... Charles

Hi Marilyn,
No problem about getting bumped from the 14a list.  I am glad someone gets
to be in that exchange who wants in.  I was just thinking about how much
work it was going to be to print two more editions, plus another big print
edition before the October due date.  Thoughts like, maybe I should create a
black and white print instead of a multiple color block print--something
that would not take so much time.  However, I was able to print 14 prints in
one day and part of another, at bootcamp, with several blocks.  I'm getting
some substitute work this summer, although not full time.  Still, it's
better than nothing at all, and it does keep me off the dole (unemployment
insurance). I have been wanting to paint watercolors too, especially after
the great teachers and the free classes at Yosemite National Park, so that
would give me a couple of days to paint.  I am missing a watercolor postcard
of the Royal Arches that I took with me to bootcamp as a proof of my
original work for a block print that I was planning.   It's probably
somewhere in the bunch of papers I bought home with me, although I looked
through them,  but maybe someone accidentally put it in with their stuff, if
so, please mail it to me at 43 Crest Avenue, Richmond, CA 94801.  We were
all very tired there at the end, so it's the kind of thing that might have
happened unintentionally.  I have a scan of it, so it is not the end of the
world, but I'd like to get the original back.  Maybe I didn't sign it, just
noted on the back it was the Royal Arches, so someone might not even have
known it was mine, if they picked it up.  I'll put the scan on my web site
pretty soon.  I have just finished making a screen saver of the Yosemite
sketches, but it's too big to put on my web site for free downloading.  I
have to figure out how to make the images smaller, I guess.  Well, I am
digressing from printmaking, so I'd better quit while I'm ahead.

Hi Gayle,
Regarding your print show, yes, censorship of art images is a problem and it
seems like the universities and museums are the last holdout against
censorship.  Think how difficult it would be for doctors to learn medicine
if they were not allowed to view the nude body.  Someone must protect the
great statues of the Renaissance.  Some people hang nude pictures up higher
than the eyes of a child.  Then there are the liquor stores, like one in our
area,  that make sure they put girly magazines right down on the bottom
shelf, where children will be sure to see them.  What's a mother to do?  I
guess the Parks and Rec department have the right to decide what is
appropriate for their audience.  I think I'd agree with them.
