Sunday in the Art Room SITAR

 Welcome to

SITAR is about ANYTHING art. Your art, someone else's art, writing, photography, the art of cooking, the art of sewing and textiles. Sharing historical art, street art, a story about art. Do you have a question or need help with art? Write a blog post and link it up here. We will all try to help with it. My only rule is that if someone asks for critique it must be done with generosity and consideration. This is a place of learning, encouragement and inspiration. 

 

Street art or murals are some of the most outstanding and creative pieces of art free to the public. It's true for Eugene, Oregon too.

 

Since 2022 there are more than 40 murals installed by various artists from around the world. The murals focus on giving visibility to cultural heritages and bringing vitality to Eugene during the pandemic. 

Here is the time line. Before the pandemic 2016-2019

 was the peak period of creation. Because the original goal was to reach 20 murals ahead of the world athletics championships, the city moved quickly. By the summer of 2019, the project had already outpaced its baseline goal, installing more than 20 major artworks 

 

 2020–2022 the pandemic slowed international artist travel significantly, forcing municipal art events—like the city's annual Visual Arts Week—to adjust to remote and socially distanced formats. However, final localized work and finishing touches continued through 2021 and 2022 to coincide with the delayed World Athletics Championships.
 The city has three programs that have created murals. Community Murals, The Urban Canvas Program and the 20x21 Mural Project.

Here are a few more.

 

Here are all of the murals.

Hope you enjoyed the art.

Friday Face OFF FFO

 

Welcome To Friday Face OFF (FFO)

A place to show off your face art.

You know, ANY type of face, nature, the face of a flower, photography, drawings, paintings, AI. There just needs to be a face in your blog post, a link back to my blog and please use the image below. 

Thank you.

Oh I have been so busy with stuff. LOL

Other than fog we have been having very nice weather. Cold at night but the days are sunny.

I'm in the processes of  making clay bells for another special order so today's faces are not mine. 

Hope you enjoy.

 

And this is my youngest grandson and his lovely fiance.

 

He is in the Air force and going to University to become an MD. I'm so proud of him. 

 

Here are some features.

Blue inside out

 Hi Everyone!

For those of your who don't live in the US and left me somewhat of downcast comments. I would like to share that the democrats didn't just win the senate and the congress seats. 

 

In each state that has been dominated by republicans the democrats also won state seats. Dems clinched a majority of governors for the first time in 16 years. Democrats secured at least 12 new legislative chamber majorities in the 2026 midterms and captured at least 300 seats previously held by Republicans. Most notably, they picked up enough seats in both statehouse chambers in Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to secure trifecta control in those states, some for the first time in decades.

Nevada's 2nd Congressional District  created in 1981 will flip to Democrats for the first time ever! 

The state of Georgia!!!!! Women taking over. 

Ohio dems won every state seat except auditor. The repeblican supermajority was broken by dems and the gerrymandering that republicans did backfired on them. Marcy Kaptur keeps her seat. 

Ohio is now a blue state.  

Can we talk Texas? 

She beat Abbot 

 Governor, Lieutenant governor U.S. Senate, US House. Texas is Blue!!!!

But do you want to hear it from some who speaks it much better than I can write it? Check the video.

Yes, there is a LOT of work for Dems. The "thing" and his butt buddies have destroyed democracy as we knew it. The blatant corruption, the lies, the caring only for the mega rich have brought the US to its knees. But now there is hope! There is light! And the Dems that have been elected know that they have to make it better.

It's blue baby

 Hi Everyone!

Today is a day of celebration!

 

This was not a twist of fate that happened last night. It was the PEOPLE showing up and letting Washington know we have had enough!

If you know me at all, you know that I am beyond thrilled. 

This day will go down in history.

savor it.

T Tuesday

 

 Hi Everyone!

 Today is Tuesday and that means a day with Elizabeth and Bleubeard.

 

Sorry about Monster Monday. I was helping a friend. 

 

Today I don't have much to show.

Here is a tiny witches broom. This hangs over my altar table. 

 

I got this finished. 

 

The day we had to drive to Eugene I got these photos. Inland we have a bit of a change with the leaves.

 

It was a very foggy day.

 

 

Like I said not much going on.

Here is my water drink. 

Have a great Tuesday!

I'm writing this on Saturday evening waiting to see if any trick or treaters show up at my door. Of course since it is the night of nights I have Halloween art. These are all from Pinterest. I promise not too creepy.

 

 

 

 

and I thought this was so pretty. 

That's if for me.
