Blue Violin Poster

Here's another version of the Blue Violin Man in our neighborhood.  It was fun to do.  I was trying for something like a 1960's poster.  I will show him the picture of it on my phone the next time I see him.  For those who don't know, the 3 stars and 3 bars on his shirt are the DC flag.

Blue Violin

This man is a local figure who has been playing an electric violin at Eastern Market Metro Station for several years.  I always love to see him because he reminds me of when Sophia was learning violin and had a blue violin--much smaller than this one.

He's now moved across the street.   His music is loud because he amplifies it a lot.  Maybe they asked him to move...maybe the corner where he is now works better for him.  I just like to see and hear him.

This is my bird for February Draw a Bird Day.  It is also going to be posted in "The Wednesday Studio" blog where Marian Wiseman assembles bird paintings and sculptures and posts them once a month; https://thewednesdaystudio.net/

It's fun to do and I am glad to be in the group.

TY SHERYL

Well this was fun!  Sheryl sent me a calendar that has posters from the women's suffrage movement. It honors 100 years since women got the right to vote in the United States in 1920.  There are many wonderful posters in it.  I chose a  portion of one that was published in Puck in 1914,  This is only part of the poster.  The other part has a man on a wagon.  The caption is "Giddap!  Friendly Farmer--Can't I give you a lift, girls? Suffragette 'General'--You can, sir, by voting for the Cause!"

The posters in this collection came from the Library of Congress, which is just a few blocks from me and is the world's largest library. 

Thank you Sheryl---a good piece of history and a reminder that there is more work to be done. And also a very nice calendar!
