PLEASE STAND UP!

 
"UPSIDE DOWN AND ALL AROUND"
 
 
 
PLEASE STAND UP!
 
THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT I ASK YOU TO STRAIGHTEN YOURSELF UP AND STAND UP.
 
I'M BEGGING YOU TO TURN YOURSELF OVER
AND
STAND UP!
 
YOU CAN'T STAY CAPSIZED, FLOATING IN NEVER NEVER LAND FOREVER!
 
YOU ARE CURRENTLY UPSIDE DOWN AND YOU
 
MUST
STAND UP!
 
STAND UP
TAKE ONE STEP FORWARD
AND FOR SURE OPEN YOUR EYES
AND YOU'LL SEE THAT
NEGATIVE PEOPLE
NEGATIVE POLITICS
NEGATIVE PERSONAL POINTS OF VIEW
CANNOT AND WILL NOT ALTER THE JOY THAT YOU
EXPERIENCE EACH DAY THAT YOU ARE ALIVE
AND ON THIS EARTH.
 
PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A CREATOR LOOKING DOWN AT YOU
WHO IS OBSERVING YOUR LIFE AND THOUGHTS
 
HE ONLY HAS ONE DESIRE
THAT YOU LOVE HIM
AND
FOLLOW HIM WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART.
 
YES, JESUS IS THE WAY
AND THE ONLY WAY.

BUBBLES...
 
 BUBBLES IS A FRIENDLY FELLA.
HE SPENDS HIS ENTIRE DAY
OBSERVING THE WORLD.
 
SOMETIMES HE'S AMAZED AT WHAT TRANSPIRES;
 
"OUCH MY BUBBLE MIGHT P...O...P..."
 
SO ON HE GOES.
HE CONTINUES TO WATCH OUT FOR THE THORNS AND THISTLES
THAT MIGHT POP HIS BUBBLE.
 
HE HAS TO BE CAREFUL WITH SUCH PRICKLY THINGS.
 
HMMMMMMM...
 
THERE ARE SURE A LOT OF THEM.
 
POOR BUBBLES, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG HE'LL BE ABLE TO AVOID THEM.
OH WELL, HE'S BOBBING ALONG HIS BUBBLY WAY
MAKING THE BEST OF HIS BUBBLY LIFE.
 
 
POP! 
WAKE UP TO REALITY!
 
NO!
LEAVE ME ALONE!
 
WHILE I STAND STILL,
NOTHING MOVES,
NOTH\ING WAIVERS,
SHHHHHHH

DON'T TOUCH THE WATER!

REMEMBER OUR HEROES...BUT..TAKE CARE OF THEM!

 
 
 
GET OFF MY BACK!
6"x6"
 

I PRAY FOR OUR MILITARY.
 
I UNDERSTAND THAT
THEY NOT ONLY HAVE TO ENDURE
WAR,
MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL INJURY,
 
BUT
 
THEY ARE NOW SUFFERING FROM
SEXUAL ABUSE!
 
WITH THE ADVENT OF MIXING THE HETEROSEXUAL POPULATION WITH THE GAY POPULATION, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE HETEROSEXUALS ARE BEING RAPED!
 
IS THIS TRUE?
THIS SHOCKING REVELATION PROMPTED ME TO
RESPOND TO THE PUBLIC.
 
IF THIS IS TRUE, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THESE SUFFERING HEROES HAVE HAD TO ENDURE.
WHO DO THEY GO TO?
I'M SURE THAT IT IS EMBARRASSING TO APPROACH THEIR SUPERIORS RE THE ABOVE.
 
PLEASE, PLEASE,
 CAN'T WE ALL RESPECT EACH OTHER?
 
IN ADDITION TO THE POSSIBLE SEXUAL ABUSE,
WHAT ABOUT THE MULTIPLE EXPERIMENTAL SHOTS THAT THEY MUST ENDURE?
 
ARE OUR SUFFERING HEROES REALLY BEING USED AS GUINEA PIGS?
 
DOES OUR GOVERNMENT REALLY CARE ABOUT PROTECTING THEIR ENTIRE WELL BEING?
 
SOLUTION: 
ELECT A CONGRESS/PRESIDENT
THAT CARES.
 
WE THE PEOPLE LOVE YOU MILITARY...
MAY GOD BLESS YOU
AND
MAY HE ALSO GIVE THE PEOPLE
THE WISDOM TO
CHOOSE LEADERSHIP THAT WILL
LOVE
AND
PROTECT YOU.
 
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

SUNNY ARIZONA...

 
 
HOW LONG WILL IT BE?
6"X 6"
 
 

It's almost time to move back to my native State, Arizona.

It has been too long since I've been gone.

EIGHT YEARS BRAVING THE SNOW, TORNADOES AND EXPERIENCING TOO MUCH RAIN.

Miss you Arizona,

but

I'll be there soon. 

What a pleasure to wake up in the morning to your shininess,

to your surrounding Saguaros,

to your lizards running all around,

to  your jackrabbits that are absolutely outlandish!

I've never seen bunnys with such big ears.

(What's up doc?)

I'll wake up to the clear and blue sun almost all year round...

I'll be able to view the hairless/treeless mountains (love it)

Yes, I'm a desert rat!

Wait for me Arizona - I'm almost there! 

:)

THE MARTYRS

THE MARTYRS



So much suffering endured throughout the ages
 The Martyrs lacked the necessary freedom to believe in God
They lacked the freedom to express themselves

They didn't care about government law
They only cared about dying for their one and only true Savior,
Jesus Christ.

It is heartbreaking to have painted this canvas.
There was a tear with every brush stroke
Tears in honor of
THE MARTYRS

FRIDA KAHLO - AN ICON?

ICON, SAINT OR HUMAN?  FRIDA...HUMAN




Frida, I feel so sorry that you had to endure so much suffering.
You were definitely not respected as an artist,
and you seemed to play a secondary role next to Diego Rivera.

Today you are currently more popular than Diego Rivera,
You are consistently and obsessively being painted,
and you are an Icon for female artists.

Now why in the world did I follow the pack of worshippers and force your image
(once again) to be birthed on earth?

Sorry Frida, it was a commission.
What an excuse.
  I too love your indigenous look.
I love the huipil dresses that you wore,
I love the festive braids posed on your head,
I love your persona,
I love your passion for love and life, manifested in your art,
but I don't love your politics at all.

I am sooooo guilty of possessing watches, t-shirts, purses, etc. with Frida Kahlo's image on all of them.
Ok, I'm guilty but as an artist it saddens me to see that we consistently desecrate her image.
Can't we leave her alone? 
Can't we just appreciate her art?
This one factor troubles me.
Frida Kahlo was not an Icon
nor
was she a Saint!
Frida was and is simply a human. 
We are the guilty ones that insist on putting her on a pedestal.

When have you ever heard of artists painting the image of a deceased artist?
Usually we love and appreciate their art and that is it!

But no we insist on painting her over and over again.
My gosh, when will we stop?

Escudero:  GUILTY

BACK FROM A MENTAL VACATION! YAAAAAAA

WHO RULES?
8"x10"



_____________

HMMMMMMM....

How is everyone?

Hope you are all chipper and ready for my next

very very special painting.


BUT

First of all,

let me pay tribute to a group of incredible

and

profound individuals

and

their wonderful blogs!

They are:

LINDA LEHMAN

JANET CAMPBELL

HAMMELMAN ART

LIN

FLIGHTY SONGBIRD

and

last but definitely not least .....
my fellow Phoenician...

WATERROSE

Many thanks to all of you for commenting on my previous post.

It was a very difficult post to put into words and to show.

You are all a special group to attack it straight on....

Congratulations!

I strongly urge everyone else to visit these blogs.

They'll appreciate it.

Thank you.

_________________________

Ok now,

Why the mental vacation?

Because I needed it....

That's all...

That was short and simple! :)

Enjoy "WHO RULES?"

It's lighter and airier than my previous post.

I suppose I could say it is a battle between

MAN and NATURE...

That doesn't sound too light and airy...

Does it?

Sorry...I can't help it.

It's just ESCUDERO at work.

I wish you all an incredible weekend.

ASSERT YOURSELVES!

ASSERT YOURSELVES!
6"x6"





Hi everyone! So happy to be back after the hectic holidays...

This post is a great one to start the new year.

Lets all gather together and make this year the most wonderful 2009.

We can start by cleaning up our spiritual and physical selves.

We can start by asserting ourselves in whatever aspect we are

weak.

We can start by claiming that we will all become stronger

spiritually,

and

that we will stand tall no matter what happens in our lives.

Yes, this is what these two little fellas in this painting are

NOT doing!

They are simply blending in with their world.

They are too frightened to assert themselves!

Fear is our worst enemy.

Soooooo

lets leave these little soft and mushy fellas behind

and

ASSERT ourselves for 2009!

Our dreams can come true!

A VERY SPECIAL TRIO


A VERY SPECIAL TRIO
10"x8"


I want to introduce Ann (left), Carol (middle) and Margaret to the right. These ladies are the most incredible quilters. Maybe I should call them MASTER QUILTERS. This title suits them better.

Yes, like I said in my last post, every Thursday morning @ 9a.m. I make my way over to the Lutheran church, and I always find the most beautiful ladies quilting away. They will quilt a complete bedspread for anyone, charge a minimal amount, and then donate it to a family or person in need.
Talk about back braking work!

It was always my dream to live in Lancaster, PA because I wanted to live near the Amish, and I wanted to learn how to quilt. Well, my dream came true, and now you can find me in a wonderful little town near Lancaster. I met these incredible quilters, and they are so kind to be teaching me, so for Christmas I decided to give them a painting! This little jewel is the result. I think it's very special because it's meant for A VERY SPECIAL TRIO!


Hope you enjoy it.

P.S. Shhhhhhh don't tell the ladies.....it's supposed to be a surprise! :)
