On Randy Newman's birthday, I'm listening to his debut LP, from 1968.
The cover photo is by Guy Webster.

My favourite song: "I Think It's Going to Rain Today".

Album cover: a collage of a cutout of Newman standing, clouds, music fragments & pencil.

Happy birthday Randy Newman 🎂
📷 Bill Eppridge, 1971

"People love love songs, so I should probably write more of them. Even among my fans, the stuff they like best is when I play it absolutely straight."

Now that I'm working on an official commission, you're not going to see any new work from me for a bit, but to tide my art-loving friends over, I'll share some work from the archive.
A landscape painting depicting a setting sun, diminishing behind a lake. There are rolling hills in the background. In the foreground is a strange, ruined ancient city, seen in outline.

Great Gray Owl, Washington state

#owls #birds
A majestic bird sits perched atop a weathered wooden post, its thick, mottled gray and white plumage blending seamlessly with its surroundings. Its large, rounded face is framed by intricate concentric patterns, drawing focus to its piercing yellow eyes that seem to stare straight into the soul. Behind it, the rich green foliage of evergreen trees creates a natural and serene backdrop, enhancing the bird's commanding yet tranquil presence. A moment of quiet dignity and wild beauty captured in the heart of nature.

Barry the Bare-throated Tiger-Heron when he was a youngster. Here he's hunting dragonflies.

#birds #herons
A beautifully patterned bird stands amidst tall grasses, its intricate plumage a mesmerizing blend of rich browns and black, forming a bold, natural tapestry. Its long, slender neck curves gracefully as it focuses intently on the ground, poised in a moment of quiet precision. The sharp, pointed beak glistens in the sunlight, ready for action. The vibrant greens and golden tones of the grass create a vivid, earthy backdrop, highlighting the bird’s elegant form and its connection to its natural habitat.

Joseph Cornell, “A Parrot for Juan Gris,” 1953-54

Earlier this year, this great work was donated to the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.

"His work forces you to use the word 'beautiful'. What more do you want?"
- Robert Motherwell
A paper cutout of a white parrot shares one of Cornell's boxes with maps, fragments from books, string & miscellaneous bits.
