“Garden of Hope/Slava Ukraini” — oil on canvas (Norm Siegel)

Photographer Celia Campbell-Mohn asks: “Pothole on Sherwood path, or art?”
“Jazzman” – Tom Doran

“A Yakety Yak” Artist Steve Stein says: “They live at extreme high altitudes in Tibet, India and China. They come both as domesticated or wild hairy bovines that produce milk used to make cheese and butter. But they don’t yakety yak — they only grunt”
