Lusting Kaleidoscope Eyes
Upon viewing the work of Richard Taddei I was reminded of
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by the Beatles.
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Lusting Athletic Themes
Discobolus by Costas Dimitriadis
The description below is from TIME MAGAZINE,
Monday, May. 31, 1926
Probably the world's most famed statue of an athlete is of a discobolus (discus-thrower), by Myron, ancient Greek, restored by Professor Furtwangler. His restoration places the missile-hurler* in exceedingly poor "form," according to modern proceedings.
At the Olympic games two summers ago, another Greek sculptor fashioned a discobolus, along more authentic lines, with models who knew all the facts and intricacies of discus-throwing. He entered it in world competition at Paris, won the grand prize. Last week the statue was unveiled in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a gift to the city by one Ery Kehaya, who designated it "an expression of gratitude from Greeks living in New York to the city that has given them opportunity." The bronze athlete is the work of Costas Dimitriadis, famed Hellene.
*Throwing the discus was revived with the Olympic Games (1896) and has been a recognized event in athletic competitions since that time, becoming very popular in the U. S. The stone discus of antiquity weighed from 4 to 5 lb., although one of bronze was uncovered weighing 8 lb. Thrower Baker, Swarthmore, last week heaved the modern 4%½ lb. discus 139 ft., a new Middle Atlantic record. The world's record (156 ft. 1⅜ in.) was made by J. Duncan of the U. S. on May 27, 1912.

Lusting Ocean Bodies
Into the sea,
The deep blue sea,
Dove I, naked and free,
Gliding swiftly into the deep blue sea,
Into the sea,
Straight down with eyes open,
Looking 'round and down,
Naked and free,
Dove I, into the deep blue sea,
Into the sea,
Into the deep blue sea,
A beautiful body appeared, much like me,
Naked and free,
Gliding effortless through the transpararency,
And yet another,
Now there were three,
Naked and free just like me,
Three dancing in perfect harmony,
All naked and free,
Dancing effortlessly,
In the deep blue sea.

Lusting Colorful Figurative Art
The Art of Douglas Simonson
That Douglas Simonson has mastered the color wheel is clearly evident when viewing his figurative work.
It ranges from the abstract to the realistic in every hue and tone.
Click the collage for a better view, or visit his website, for more of his work.
