THE HERALD Wednesday September WW- Page Art is truly in the eye of the beholder Most mornings I go for a nde on my old bicycle The exercise is good for my aging body I also en joy the fairly fresh not yet too- polluted morning air Its such a pleasure to float down the road past lawns and flowers and trees A few days ago I rode out of my garden into the park and on to Parkview Avenue When I turned into Maple Avenue a huge creation imposed itself on my vision I stop ped and stared What is that I thought in wonder what could it possibly be I got off my bicycle and measured it I stretched my arm up but could not reach the top 8 feet high I walked along it and counted my steps Holy Moses 140 yards long Art I thought it MUST be art What else could it be Only artists go all out like that without giving a damn excuse me Only artists have ideas as weird and wonderful as gigantic as rough as challenging as avant garde Stop I better come down from the clouds and describe the thing to you The work isnt quite finished yet only the supporting posts seem to be in place for the full length of the piece At the most western end blue brown and aquagreen panels fill the spaces between the posts Vivid energetic touches of paint have been applied here and there A black vultures claw some dead branches a planet bleeding Further on a bucolic landscape with a cute defenseless rabbit threatened by black birds Also a big rock narrow at the bottom as if eaten away by time with green bushes growing out of the top Another panel sports a splendid road several lanes of course in between flowers and trees going nowhere I must confess I am simply over whelmed by the magnitude of the conception Here is an artist with a very big message Since I spotted it first I have been back again and again for another look This piece has in vaded my dreams I cant wait for the artist to finish his work he must be a he his work is so masculine so aggressive What is he trying to tell us From what is completed so far I get the feeling that the end product will be tough and hardhitting and subversive of the status quo I suspect the creator of this work of art wants to change everything In any case go quickly and look for yourself This is hot stuff quite out of the ordinary Let me know if you think my interpretation is wrong Take the vultures claw What else but the threat developers hold over unsuspecting neighbourhoods The dead bran ches Century old trees uprooted for housing The bleeding planet Poor mother earth raped and left to die The landscape with the cute rabbit and the black birds Pure and stark symbolism Right there on Maple Avenue we have all these frightened people cowering in their houses waiting in terror for two huge towers that will take away their sunlight The rock eaten away by time Well that is the mighty developer himself These rascally people try to do him in but he is green on top and will outlast them all Remember what he said I always win The splendid road between flowers and trees That is the ever- widened road to the future It will lead us over the cliff into oblivion Deep stuff dont you think It will put Georgetown on the map art- wise But there was this little mean looking guy He watched me com ing back to this great big thing and he wanted to know why I was star ing at it all the time I said to him that I know a lot about art and that Georgetown is so lucky to get this fabulous piece Boy was he rude to me There you have it People cant agree about anything anymore in this blooming country With the greatest regrets I have to inform my readers that part of the artwork described above was wantonly painted over by somebody who must be hostile to the finer things in life I hang my head in shame I felt great the whole time I was on NutriSystem Result I lost lbs Since then Ive slopped getting backaches I can do activities without getting winded For the first time in my life I feel healthy Now I have energy to burn I go to the gym three days a week and Im so much more active Im living a happy healthy life Our Comprehensive Weight Loss Program Will Help Over ONE MILLION Clients This Year IT INCLUDES Safe and effective weight loss Nutritionally balanced meal plans Nutritional supervision No calorie counting OVER 700 CENTRES WORLDWIDE weight loss centres Our client Danny Landers lost lbs LOSE ALL THE WEIGHT YOU WANT TO LOSE FOR ONLY Call Today For A FREE No- Obligation Consultation GEORGETOWN ORANGEVILLE GEORGETOWN MARKET PLACE GUELPH STREET BROADWAY Special after does not Include of fotd video and maintenance program only Offer centra Offer September 19th
