This is my second photograph of a drinking glass on a counter top. I enjoy seeing light and dark shapes created by sunlight shining through my kitchen window. This photograph was taken at 10:58 Am on November 8, 2020
This is my photograph of a drinking class and it’s shadow and light refractions. The vertical bars of light were created by light coming though window blinds. I took this photograph on November 6, 2020. I have taken many photographs of objects sitting on this kitchen counter top with a focus on shapes created by light and shadow.
This image is an oil paint on canvas print.The canvas print was of a digital image that I created.This is one of a number of images that I have created ,that is a body of work that I call Inner Vision. This series focuses on my inner vision of time, space, and the creative process.

President Trump’s ‘Good Genes’ speech
Posted: September 22, 2020 in art,John_DyessTags: eugenics, good Genes, Halie Soifer, HuffPost, Mary Papenfuss, Nazi, President Trump, White nationalists
You have good genes, you know that, right?” Trump told the crowd of overwhelmingly white supporters Friday. “A lot of it is about the genes, isn’t it, don’t you believe?” he added. “The racehorse theory. You think we’re so different? You have good genes in Minnesota.”
The “racehorse theory” of genetics holds that some human beings are born genetically superior to others.
Halie Soifer, executive director of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, characterized Trump’s remarks as “eugenics” — basing a human being’s worth on genes. “It was used by Nazis to justify genocide,” she tweeted. “Today, it’s used by white nationalists — & apparently the @POTUS — to justify hate.”

This is my photograph of “Cloud Gate”.
Cloud Gate is a public sculpture by Indian-born British artist Sir Anish Kapoor, that is the centerpiece of AT&T Plaza at Millennium Park in the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois. The sculpture and AT&T Plaza are located on top of Park Grill, between the Chase Promenade and McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink. Wikipedia
I took this photograph when my wife and I visited my niece Debbie when she was living in Chicago.
This seashell was purchased in a gift shop near a beach in North Carolina.
sunglasses
I like the shape of the shadow of sunglasses in my photograph of “sunglasses and shadow”

Wood barn on the farm of George Beltz.
Several years ago I visited the property of George Beltz and his wife, in Steelville , Missouri and took this photo. The No Trespassing sign on the old barn was visually interesting to me. George was aware of my interest in photography and invited me to to visit his property to take photographs. George was a retired educator and a good,decent person.
