Last One Standing, Singleton Outsider Art, 2006



Last One Standing
Outsider Hippie Art
(C) Singleton 2006

SOLD PRIVATE COLLECTION

Sometimes the only safe place left is amongst the ever shifting sands...where drip castles change with the tides and time is just a drift....where good stuff washes ashore and the dark and lurking sea can stretch her foamy green fingers into our world and gobble back the bad....swallowing it forever....
Standing here, toes touching the very edge of the world....
I see the face of forever...

The Farmer's Grand Daughter-Singleton-Outsider Art

'The Farmer's Grand-Daughter'
Outsider Art
(c) Singleton 2006

SOLD

Her dirty little feet pad the wet earth with such familiarity, such primitive "at-homeness" that it is only natural the earthworms follow her footsteps like an army. Doing the hot, sweaty, summertime work for her. She hovers over the emerging seeds, blessing them as they learn to crawl from the sand and stretch, leaves dancing toward the sun. She is the protector, the care giver, the sun and the rain and the cool soft blanket of the moon. She is the grandaughter of the farmer. And her garden will grow.

God bless you KimCam.
Can't wait for that pickled okra!

The Kiss, Singleton, Outsider Art



(c) Singleton 2006
THE KISS
Outsider Hippie Art
SOLD

To The Keeper of Kisses

Perhaps it was the first kiss, the sweet, perfumed Kiss of new love...
or the painted kiss, all smudgey and smeared and salty...
Or the "I wish you would kiss me" kiss...no more than a butterfly breath,
I can't remember which...
But it was wonderful.

Question from the porch...

"Why do you always have those black and white striped curly Q things in your pictures?"

hmmm, I do? Yeah, I do. The black and white world of everyday life is in direct contrast to how I want to live, what I want to see. The thread of reality always criss-crosses through our daydreams, zapping us back to the here and now. And frankly, the harsh black and white truth, ziggling through our every move...is what feeds my obsessive desire to escape....to tumble weightlessly into a colorful sky. And then there is another reason. I like them! And they just keep popping up!

Badri & The Tea Leaves
(c) Singleton 2006
Outsider Hippie Art
SOLD
to an endeared new soul sister

So there we would sit, indian style, on the living room floor, doling out dreams and stories, sipping tea and trading random thoughts. A carnival of spirits celebrating the secret lives of our childhoods, the imagined lives of our futures, and the everyday lives of today.
Friendship.

SOLD
Outsider Hippie Artwork
TO A SWEET NEW SOUL SISTER

Amazing how Mother Nature, my Pisces soul, and Paiger's daydreams can give birth to an entire underwater world overnight! And now, What's a girl to do? We've saved one eyed fish and one pound dogs, carless friends and dumpster cats, legless lizards and fallen birds ...and I'm going to chlorinate the pool? I don't think so....I'll just float with them until we're friends....

SISTERS, of course
Outsider Hippie Art
(c) Singleton 2006

SOLD to a beautiful stranger

Here we are. Lunar opposites. Yet, inately, alike; swimming in a sea of familiar fairytales, Saturday night stories, and our own, sometimes wobbly balance, our yen and our yang. Together, we are one. May the circle be , always, unbroken.

Thank you

Just wanted to let everyone know that the emails Paiger is getting are so inspiring! I've lived in this house 13 years, and not that I'm a recluse (I'm certainly not) and visitors are mostly welcome, but they usually arrive via chain mail....on the elbow of someone who has been here before. And mostly I hear silence. Maybe they're just overwhelmed. But mostly they're just speechless.

I mean, this is not the kind of house where people say things like "Where did you get that?", "You have such a way with color". " You should be an interior decorator". This is the kind of house I live in. I love EVERY color. Even mud. And I love it all next door to any other color that wants to camp there. I believe in mermaids and angels and the ever-after, I believe in fate and karma and magic and God. I believe in good and bad and the sometimes sloppy line in between. I believe in Peace. In my house... my beliefs, fears, loves, struggles, miracles, everyday moments all live together. Painted, drawn, collaged, glued, carved on the walls, down the halls, on the kitchen cupboards, the doors, the floors, the furniture, the windows..... Call it Chaos. Or call it home. It's my world.

The drawings here are soulful paper kites... set free. No longer tethered to the walls of my world, they are weightless ...floating in a perfect sky, drifting over rooftops and sandy dunes. Some travel mile after dusty mile , some don't go far at all, barely lifted over the fenceposts. But, like the fateful message in the bottle, they know perfectly well when to flutter back to earth. Where to make their new home. Take care precious thoughts.

Peace, love, and the color of a perfect sky,
Singleton

Beer Garden Fairie


The Beer Garden Fairie
(c) Singleton 2006
Outsider Hippie Art



She flits into the party barely noticed, fluttering from barstools to the dance floor. Careful, her magic is mischief ; and a fool and his beer is all she needs to cast her spell. "Caught in the act", she freeezes in the headlights, but just for a moment. Her mission is to paint the night with pixie-like passion, ego friendly flights, and beauty...in the eyes of the random beholder. What you do with the memory in the morning is your own hangover.

Sold, to a kindred spirit

"Did I tell you about the dolphins?"
"There were three"
"There were five"
"Joe's treasure boxes"
"Look, I brought you gifts from the ocean! "
"Shells, you brought me beautiful shells?"
"No,
Memories from the San Marino"

We've been through high tides, and low tides, and spent countless hours playing driftwood, floating aimlessly in the sandy currents. God bless the tides.
