Old Girl of the North Country Revisited

Search Results

Just now I copied and pasted the results from Google images when I entered the words "Old Girl Of The North Country", and the result was this mosaic of images that tells some of the story of where I've been and what I've been thinking about over the years that I've had this blog.

How can I be useful, of what service can I be? There is something inside me, what can it be? -- Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)

Welcome to "TALKING 37TH DREAM (RUMORS OF PEACE)".

The drawing currently at the top of my blog was made with chalk pastel on paper in 1984 when I was 34 years old. "Woman Listening" is a composite of photographs of Alice Walker, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Bob Dylan.

"OLD GIRL OF THE NORTH COUNTRY" (the earliest name for my blog) came to life in early December of 2006 so that I could post a 42-year retrospective of my paintings and drawings and through that action, create a new relationship with the day the man I loved returned from Vietnam in December 1971. For a while (sometime after spring of 2008, which is when he died) my blog was "TALKING 37TH DREAM WITH RAINBOW (RUMORS OF PEACE)". For a number of years, it's been "TALKING 37TH DREAM (RUMORS OF PEACE)." As of April 12, 2017 my blog is now titled "37TH DREAM / TALKING 37TH DREAM (RUMORS OF PEACE/LOOKING UP)".

To begin viewing the retrospective with narrative, scroll down to December 8, 2006, on this page:

The 40-year retrospective is also on my YouTube channel:
