Greetings -
Sometimes a bear comes out of all those tubes of paint and
just appears as a completely realized personality -
independent of the artist who made him.
This blue bear happened over about three sessions of
playing with paint.
He's not finished - but he's as finished as he'll ever be.
He is done being finished.
He is who he is.
We took him north to Duluth's Blue Lake Gallery.
"What's his name?, " the gallery crew asked.
"I don't know," I said.
We knew he was blue.
And Bruce from the gallery agreed to go along
with naming this guy "Blue Bruce."
Titles can come easy and titles can come hard.
Now this "Bruce" has been befriended by some other new bears -
visit Blue Lake & see the likes of "Laura" & "Penny" & "Todd" & "GreenTyler."
And say "Hi" to some of the great human sorts working there who make visiting
a gallery fun & educational & a time filled with joy.
And then go stick a toe, or ten, in Lake Superior.
Fare-thee-well, Sue
