Eric Faramus art featured at Burien Community Center this month
Reviewing artist Eric Faramus’ work, which will be featured in October at the Burien Community Center, writer Lynn Werner declares, “Eric’s paintings reveal the underbelly of melancholy and isolation even as his canvases explode in color and celebration.”
The exhibit’s opening reception will be held Tuesday, Oct. 2 at the Center, 14700 6th Ave. S.W., 6-7:30 p.m. The October exhibit is part of Burien Arts Association’s Pop-up Gallery program and runs through Oct. 31.
The community center is open Monday-Thursday, 8:30 a.m.-8 p.m. and Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission to the exhibit is free.
Werner noted, “Only as gazers looking at (Faramus’) canvases do we become part of them. We are flung to his remarkable skies, we sink into his palate of color, we are caught in the gaze of the faces of his endless characters--some of whom he draws from the photos of petty criminals whose mug shots are readily available online.”
Bernard meets the bureaucracy
By Jean Godden
In the aftermath of a weekend of extreme political trauma (the contentious Ford-Kavanaugh hearing), there was one news story that brought smiles to Seattle faces. It was the rescue of Bernard, a West Seattle orange tabby, known as Tubby for his Falstaffian eating habits.
A quick recap of the Seattle Times story, reported by Mike Rosenberg: Bernard's owner Abi Harmon came looking for him on a Saturday morning. She heard a pitiful meow and found him stuck atop a 40-foot wooden utility pole, framed by a tangle of electrical wires.
Cats, with their curved claws, are pros at climbing upwards, but not well equipped for descending. Most cat owners know this, often to their dismay.
What to do? Harmon first tried the Seattle Police Department non-emergency number, but was told police don't do cat rescues. Firefighters at the nearby fire station allowed that, yes, they sometimes do rescues; but not with live wires involved.
