REVIEW

posted by Ho Baron

"If Ho Baron was a god, he'd be the god of fun. Our way, then, of being duly worshipful would be to plant our feet, eyes wide open, firmly on the path of delight. Baron's works manage simultaneous playfulness and masterful construction. Mercifully, they are never cute. Baron creates awesome bronzes that copy no one's. I've watched them enchant art cognoscenti, small children, and the in-betweens, as they gaze in awe at his “Free Thinker,” who stands almighty in our museum. How many eyes are hidden in that giant bronze, a massive web-footed sea creature? Being all-seeing as is its maker, there are far too many to count! This book is pure Ho-friendly Bible. Pun unintended!) You start a future cult, sign me up!" Rebecca Alban Hoffberger, Founder/Director American Visionary Art Museum

RALPH WHITE'S NEON TIDE

posted by Ralph White

“Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” – Harriet Beecher Stowe. ~ The tide continually retreats into the sea only to be swallowed up and fiercely tossed around, but it keeps coming back. It is relentless as it pushes forward onto the shore. There are no guarantees that the tide will actually make it past the shoreline. But every once in a while it will gain momentum, producing waves of indescribable force, and it will show up unannounced, without apologies. This painting is called Neon Tide for its bold colors as it illuminates the epitome of persistence. We should learn from the tide, continuing to push forward with perseverance until a grand entrance is made onto the shore of possibilities.
