The Sow’s Ear Poetry Review

A request by small poetry publication, The Sow’s Ear Poetry Review, to use one of my older paintings in their upcoming issue prompted me to re-shoot it. I happened to still have this one, and I emailed an image of Watchers to them today.

"Watchers", 2002, Acrylic on Panel, 5 7/8 x 14 in., by David Jay Spyker

“Watchers”, 2002, Acrylic on Panel, 5 7/8 x 14 in., by David Jay Spyker

It will appear as an inside, black-and-white image in the Winter 2015 issue.

  • “I put a lot of things into my work which are very personal to me. So how can the public feel these things? I think most people get to my work through the back door. They’re attracted by the realism and they sense the emotion and the abstraction — and eventually, I hope, they get their own powerful emotion.”
    ~ Andrew Wyeth

  • “This is how a human being can change:

    there’s a worm addicted to eating
    grape leaves.

    Suddenly, he wakes up,
    call it grace, whatever, something
    wakes him, and he’s no longer
    a worm.

    He’s the entire vineyard,
    and the orchard too, the fruit, the trunks,
    a growing wisdom and joy
    that doesn’t need
    to devour.”

  • “Hold fast your dreams!
    Within your heart
    Keep one still, secret spot
    Where dreams may go,
    And, sheltered so,
    May thrive and grow
    Where doubt and fear are not.
    O keep a place apart,
    Within your heart,
    For little dreams to go!”
    ~ Louise Driscoll
