odes to The Gods and Goddesses
JUNO
graceful green stem heavenly wind whisper repose a coat of shining stars precipitate Her halo cap arouse circles of the abundant bliss to gather stones the grave enlist kiss Her sequenced hem dawn to dusky pink carry long longing for Her love adored promise A kiss be born to every pretty mist beside the Spring of song.
Zeus
fire lute and lyre curses cry for no one from the sand of nomad canyons caves carnal sins break of day hoist the sail break away prisoners all in the prism of the fall capture them all the lamb is silent the lion roar.
Athena
Her beautiful mind exquisite kind in shadow shade everglades glide in moonbeam tides hear your name-think the spoils of war ain’t no use at all, the catcher waves a wand the crystal of a swan-the magic will unfold when men grow not so old to see the sea as cold and free as gold.
Diana
unearth cloud cover hover between the world and night the dark of bed has hit your head the dread is out of sight but oh the miracle He may the night will sun the day and i will hunt to be as blunt as fish swim in the bay.
Apollo
yellow golden age upon the plain bathe enrich the grain fierce the piercing seagull cry the sun is in his eye great God warmth regard the handsome and the bard.
Neptune
Son of Zeus protective loving knight blue green waters stir rush crash in His veins touched by Pisces reflect moon lit seas oceans fathom turbulence deluge Father of fish crab clam man the oar from Maine to the mainland of Japan.
artist’s statement: horse show is a gathering of sketches in pastel charcoal acrylic paint on canvas that represent form and line in the shape of the horse. there is a connection that i find with the horse and mysticism that cover the world terrain in sunshine and in rain the blissful and the pain, an archetypal picturesque painterly quest drawn from night till dawn a heavenly bequest. please take a moment now to look beyond the plow, sincerely i am freed by painting every steed. part of my private collection. best wishes, june kaplan

artist’s statement: starting gate is a compilation of recent works. some were painted in my mother Penny Kaplan’s studio in NYC, the excitement of the city translates to the romantic colors and movement of the imagery-fantasy plays a major role based on intuition and often divine intervention by my spirit guides Zeus Juno and Apollo, they are a force of good, they help me paint write play music on my little Yamaha piano on a daily basis-all they ever ask of me is to take care of myself which i find is a daunting task-some of the work is in private collections, my own collection, the collections of friends and family-some of the work may be seen at The Whiteroom Gallery, Bridgehampton NY March 16 – April 8 2018.

artist’s statement: some of the images repeat themselves as in the previous gallery starting gate, yet the thematic horse imagery looms large in my psyche. each drawing of the horse is different from the next disputing the television theme “a horse is a horse of course of course…”. there placed in a field and/or countryside one may be able to sense a mood or better still an emotion captured in the image at the time of its appearance on canvas, for i have been known to be an emotional person, given to that i have my moments and i believe the paintings reflect this. thank you to the viewer, i hope you may enjoy “all the pretty little horses…”. sincerely, jucasso
