Ode To An Artist

Keith Haring - Who knows how many times as a little girl my parents drove into busy Manhattan on the FDR."There it is!" I would yell in my head. "It" was the marker that we were getting closer to My aunts house. Soon I would be walking up five flights of exhausting stairs. "It" was none other then Keith Haring's "Crack Is Wack" mural. Keith did many of these public drawings throughout NYC subway systems outlined in chalk over old advertisements, in the 1980's.In grabbing what the environment provided, of course. Keith would paint on metal, plastic and garden sanctuary's. This leads me to believe anything is a paint-able surface! The lines in this painting may be simple but simple isn't the dedication behind it. This painting is in tribute to his "DJ Dog" and my experiment to a late great artist that left behind imprints on the mind... "Radio DJ"
