Street partying is one of life's entertainments, sketch by Gloria Poole of Missouri

"Street partying" sketch abstract by Gloria Poole of Missouri and Georgia; 14 Sept-2014; acrylic 9 x12. This sketch was inspired by the news on TV a few nights ago, when for very brief report it showed a group of people from India parading in street party covered with a dragon-like "float" and wearing masks and some walking on stilts. I don't do dragons, because in my mind they represent evil [since the book of Revelations depicts the great dragon as evil]. So, I modified it to something less fierce   and drew and painted it as an abstract scene instead of a realistic one.  Also, I threw in the beanstalk from Jack and beanstalk just for fun! The yellow stars and odd-shaped forms represent fireworks. { I admit I am not good at drawing fireworks or anything that resembles explosions. This is my first effort to draw/paint  fireworks.] Many places call this sort of a party a "block party" inviting all who live on their block to participate.  Also, when I was student at University of Georgia, I learned of the annual bed race that the University sponsors which is a huge, gigantic street party of students pushing beds down the street in a a race; and it usually makes the news also in the local Athens [GA] area. And yes, I did graduate from there with a second degree [because I was already a Registered Nurse when I went back to GA to get a business degree ]

For the record and to establish provenance of art I have already created also: the art I have created and signed and posted to this blog of mine is part of an on-going series of art I created since year 1991 beginning in Atlanta, GA that "blossomed"  in year 2005 in  Aurora, Colorado when I lived there for one year [May 2006-May 2007, and art began to really become an integral part of my efforts to save the baby humans from premeditated destruction. In 2005, I began to realize I could use the art to illustrate my talking points in some cases, and to build a secondary "career' for me as artist. In the year 2006 when I had endured and lived to tell about it a violent crash down a flight of stairs and had trauma, fractures, concussion, because my then-husband DBP was scheming a way to kill me to 'make it look like an accident" and he tried to twist off my broken leg, I had immobility for months except on crutches. As I sat with leg propped up I began to draw daily and paint to occupy the time and my mind. I also began to post art to the web on my blogs and websites, and also photographs I had photographed. I began a series of art then that is named "ethnic series by Gloria" [me] to attempt to draw and paint an art work of every ethnic group tribe, language, culture in the world and I created eight initial oil paintings in the first batch and posted them to the web on domains of mine.  I moved from Aurora to zip code 80203 for 2 and 1/2 years and then moved to Missouri on Oct 31, 2009 with the art I had in my possession at that time. I paint some of the sketches I created  in do-overs into oils on canvas and those are very visible on the web. I put many of them on my mini exhibit of art at https://mini-exhibition.blogspot.com, and also on my Picasa albums at https://picasaweb.google.com/gloriapoole.

I was glad to end that four year horrible marriage of multiple trauma and injuries to me caused by male DBP, [which I testified about in Court on several occasions ].  I moved to Missouri on Oct 31, 2009 with all my possessions including my art I had created and had posession of that day.  That second divorce is public record in the state of Colorado, and my first divorce is public record in the state of Georgia.

I am a University of Georgia alumna and it was one of the best experiences of my life to get that second "career" education at UGA; and to attend some of the home games. I worked as R.N.  at the UGA Student Health Center while I was a full time student there. I did graduate with a degree in business and it has served the goals of my life very well.
